What the club says: A pretty parkland course, surrounded by mature woodland, with lush fairways and excellent greens watered from natural underground springs. The nine hole course is relatively short but very challenging, The course record is 67 - scored by Andy Francis. Created in 1970 and extended through a mature wood in 1987, the many natural springs have been tamed into water features which are home to a varierty of wildlife.

Considering the bad weather we have had, the course has been maintained really well and was on the whole free of surface water.

Very nice course, greens well preserved and well managed- went on a very hot day however and so dried scorched grass made it difficult

(Round played: Aug 2020 - Score: 51 Handicap: )

Good course, shame about other members

Used this course as a visitor over the weekend. Has a great range of holes requiring different skills and shots. A real shame that other users decide to take divets out of the ground in frustration. Also you get treated like an alien by the club staff, and spoken to like a criminal by other players when you supposedly ?take too long? on a shot.
