I have become quite a regular here this year, the course is by far and away the best maintained pay and play course in the area. A bargain at £7. The service is always friendly and the pub next door is very cheap!

Great little 9 hole, great greens. Tee boxes could do with a little attention but otherwise brilliant.

Fantastic greens! Played this course mid-feb and was amazed by how great the condition of the whole course was, but the greens in particular were as good as most other courses are in the summer! This is not just a course for beginners - I play alot of 18h golf off a handicap of 10 and i found this course to be a good fun challenge. They are short holes but with plenty of character and danger - you can miss the green by a couple of yards and your in trouble - just how a 9h course should be.

Given the amount of rain we've had recently this course is in excellent condition. Course is only par 29 but is a good challenge if, like me, you struggle with short holes.

Short course. 7 par 3s offering different challenges. Good for practising. Greens are excellent and in play all year round. Probably not enough of a challenge for low handicappers.

Reviewed Aug 17 2011
Tried this course for the first time having opened 2 years ago, and I was very impressed. The course have 2 par 4s and the rest are par 3s, all of which requires skill and precision to get a good score as it can catch out those who become complacent or lose focus. The greens are very smooth so the ball runs fast, and care is required as it is easy to putt the ball a bit too hard and it goes off the tee down the side, and the location of the pin on a few is a challenge.
The course is in very good condition, though the amount of divots and cut up turf on the tees gives a clue on what is the favoured club on the course off the tee. There is a small clubhouse which sells some equipment, as well as refreshments and an outdoor seating area. There is also a practice net and a small putting green for practice, and a golf ball cleaner at the 1st tee and the pathway between the 2nd and 5th tees.
Overall, this course is excellent and provides a challenge for all golfers from beginners to low handicap/pros - a must if in search for a decent 9-holer in the area.

This new course is very tight and demands accuracy and the 7th is a real tester. the shortest hole on the course still the hardest.
