A couple of temporary greens and half the tees were mats which is not bad for mid Jan. Spiking was in progress but a few greens affected. Very friendly pro shop and bar staff. Relatively short course with a few challenging holes.

Grumpy Members

Felt like a good experience arriving at the club, Pro and club house staff were very friendly. Although we were early for our tee time we were encouraged to play when we were ready, Unfortunately we then bumped into some very grumpy members on the first tee who were less than welcoming. This spoiled an otherwise enjoyable experience

A special place

It was a scorching hot afternoon in July and this was a fabulous course. It's like it shouldn't really exist The holes were all so interesting and each one with it's own character, I loved this place just wonderful. Hats off to the greens staff who even had the fairways looking great eveb with no rain for weeks. The chap in the pro shop was really welcoming and even though I left my wallet and phones he came and found me. Great club lovely people... just a gorgeous place.

A hidden gem

I was greeted by the Pro who was very welcoming. He gave me all the information & advice needed and off to the 1st tee. The course layout and condition was excellent. I thought the greens were a bit on the slow side, but having recently played Woburn where the greens were about 12 on the stimp meter perhaps it was me. Not the longest course but plenty of trouble to keep you alert. Holes 1-13 are the best holes, 13 probably being the pick of them. 14-18 are not bad holes, just not the same standard as the 1st 13 holes. The club website doesn't do the course justice. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed.
