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.

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.

Easy to find. Tests chipping skills. No long holes. Should be able to go round without losing a ball. Interesting distances on holes will help decide Club selection. Well worth a visit to hone and or improve skill set. Quite possible to play 2 rounds for a very reasonable price.

New to golf
Started playing in June 21 and have been a regular ever since. In summer, the fairways and greens are immaculate and a credit to the staff. I average low 40s with my best being 38. Great way to get into the game before you venture onto more challenging courses. Give it a try.Reviewer Rating

One of the best par 3 courses in the NW
Essentially a par 3 course but the 1st and 9th holes are short par 4's. All the holes are intetesting and challenging. The greens are excellent. This os a great wsy to practice short holes for the more serious golfers and os also good for beginners. The par 3's are a good length so representative of par 3's on a full course.Reviewer Rating
