Forgiving course
Wide fairways and controlled rough which gives you half a chance to find your ball, some water hazards on a few holes. Good clubhouse and decent value cost wise to play. Not really a members course and greens not in the best of condition with pitch marks but that's lazy players not repairing them tbfReviewer Rating

Challenging course, great food
We've played this course a few times now and it weathers well and is an interesting and challenging layout. Greens were in good condition and ran well, fairways were damp in places but very playable. I've seen the course in better nick but it's certainly worth what they charge. Food and drinks in the clubhouse are always lovely and the staff there are really helpful and attentive. Will always be a course we will visit if playing in the area.Reviewer Rating

As ever, Sharpley never fails to deliver. Course in great condition, greens excellent, and, as usual very tricky, so the odd 3 putt is to be expected. Love this course, and always fun to play.Reviewer Rating

At last
Had to cancel previous visit just as covid started so was looking forward to finally playing the course, enjoyed the day as it was fairly sunny. The greens at times were a bit disappointing but it was September so maybe to be expected, the course markers could be better sited and more of them too.Reviewer Rating
