***** * rated 4 out of 5

Reviewed Sep 23 2009

A very testing course and not for the faint hearted as some of the holes a very testing even for the most seasoned golfer. The signature hole is hole number 5 affectingly known as “The Sleeper” and require a accurate tee shot to the green or you will be facing an uphill struggle to chip up and over 10 foot railway sleepers to get onto the green. Make sure you have some comfortable golf shoes as the course is on the hilly side. The greens are very fast and in excellent condition and with very reasonable green fee for visitors.
The Pro shop has a well stock selection of clubs and equipment and the club house is very elegant and plush and offers very good quality food and drink and at very good rates.

Reviewed Aug 5 2019

Played a twilight round here today. Great value at £20 + £22 for a buggy. I’ve wanted to play here for about 15 years and jeez it was so worth the wait. Despite the par of 69 it has got to be one of the most challenging ones I’ve ever played anywhere. The greens immaculate and true, and two holes especially the 18th and the one on the McKenzie hole can offer comedy moments where you have to be on the right level. Tees were immaculate. Bunkers full of sand really I cannot fault this course.
The only gripe one of our group had and I will say that this didn’t bother me was the crossing of some of the holes. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Cannot wait to play here again and again.
