First Time Playing

Lovely course.

First time playing here. Played as a single and was still great fun. Given the state of most courses in January, it was in amazing condition. Lots of tournaments on the day I played but very friendly staff and would play again.

Great value for well maintained parkland course

After heavy overnight rain our expectations were that the course may be holding a lot of water and potentially closed.... but clearly this is a good draining course and the greenkeepers had done an excellent job, with the greens in excellent shape.
It is a long course at over 6,500 yards and in heavy conditions was a slog but it was a joy to go round 18 holes in a little over 3 hours with so few people out !
The rough was manageable and relatively open under the trees. Water hazards were well maintained too and looking good after recent heavy rain. The bunkers were really to be treated as GUR after such heavy overnight rain, but that is not a reflection on the course but just a matter of fact.
Booking a "hot deal" tee time meant were were delighted with the green fee of £24 for such a nice course and would definitely look to come back again, hopefully in a drier time of year.

A smashing day out with my son. Course was in excellent condition. Very firm greens but quick and true even with a recently applied top dressing. Staff were very friendly and accommodating.
Great value for money.
2 lagers for just over a tenner not so much but the bowl of fries we ordered were!!!

Enjoyable course - decent greens and good layout

Gorse is pretty enjoyable, similar standard to most £30 green fees, fairly clean greens & fairways. Staff are nice, you can get good deals anything under £30 is a bargain imo. Example courses similar level around leicsster - beedles lake/ullesthrope.

Disappointed

Grass way to long on the fairway and rough. Good luck finding your ball in the rough. Had to wait constantly with the people in front trying to find their ball.

Really disappointed, although I did like the back 9.

Enjoyed the course.

Despite playing off temporary tees which you expect in the winter, we enjoyed the course. Hopefully we will return in the spring/summer when the weather is warmer and the course is in even better condition!

Good Course, Great Staff

Exceptional value for money. Course is in lovely condition, considering the challenges faced this year. The lady in the halfway house even trusted us to pay for the bacon sarnies after the round as we had no cash. Will definitely be back.
