Dont waste your money
The course is in terrible condition - Do not waste your money!The bunkers are almost overgrown with weeds and the lack of sand in them is outrageous. The greens have not been maintained for what looks like a year, overgrown and patchy.
You can tell that this used to be a nice course, the layout is good and with investment/actual greenkeepers this course could be lovely.

Really, really disappointing
Strongly advise you don't play this course!It wasn't a lot of money but it isn't golf when the bunkers are like concrete and one cant putt on the greens. The fairways are ok and, after hole 6 the golf course has a nice layout but there is no money going into the upkeep this year it would seem. I booked because last year the reports were ok... perhaps tailing off but now the course is really low quality.

pretty bad shape
The course should be good, and it used to be. Now the greens are too long, patchy and covered in sand. the bunkers, of which there are many, play like a cart path and have weeds growing in them.This used to be a nice course, I'm not sure what happened.

Big problems. Terrible ground keeping
The course is terribly kept: greens are shocking, fairways ok to poor, no sand in bunkers they are undrained mudpits with no sand in them. An 80+ year old couple in an old golf cart seemed to be the sorry excuse for ground keepers, attending to pointless elements. Proshop fairly empty. Looks like they don't have sufficient funds to maintain.(Round played: Jun 2018 - Score: 104 Handicap: 21.1)

Impressive improvement
Course has improved immensely over the last 12 months. The team deserve great praise as it was sliding badly 2/3 years back under different management. Now the greens are good and bunkers filled this is a delight to play and nice 19th area to finish the round with a drink!Reviewer Rating

Excellent course. Lots of sand and water, which makes it challenging, but it is well set up and has some really lovely holes. I, and 3 others, played as a visitor (on Bank Holiday Monday) and enjoyed a full 18 and lunch for £30.

Good all round golf course.Had a good offer for 18 holes and light lunch, food was excellent and very quick.
The course has a nice mixture of holes, with water coming into play on at least 10 of them, if not more. It is quite narrow in places so if your not straight it can destroy a good score. This is probably one of the tougher course I have played.
As said previously, dont think ive ever seen so many bunkers. Most are massive too but can be avoided generally.
Greens are in good condition, just wish people would repair their pitch marks.
Would go back

I enjoyed this course very much. the greens and fairways are in good condition, the bunkers are filled with real sand, not mudy or pebbly. If your not very good at bunker play then you'll find this difficult. you need good course management but overall great course.

What an improvement!
The course has greatly improved from 18 moths ago, the greens were poor and the overall look of the course looked untidy. Fast forward 18 months and the course now look great, bunkers have been tidied up, more definition to the fairways and the greens are unrecognisable. They have put a great deal of effort into the course, so fair play to them for getting the course back on track.Reviewer Rating

Reasonable condition
Course in reasonable condition, however a lot of GUR. Greens okay for early season but bumpy. Very slow pace of play. Generous fairways, however winds made it moderate in difficultyReviewer Rating

Needs TLC
Date: 23/4/19, HCP 24, Score 105The course is in-need of a lot of love - overgrown fairways, rough is about a ft deep all the way round and the bunkers hardly have any sand in them - which is a problem as there are loads!!
Condition aside, the course is really tough, most greens guarded by bunkers or you have to hit over water into small greens.
At £13 (twilight) you cant complain too much, but there are other local courses where the condition is so much better
