Course Review and Comments

The individuals who have previously rated the course are way of the mark. Although the course is short it has small tight well manicured greens and fairways. The clubhouse is ideal for the majority of it's members and provides a very central location with excellent views. The membership costs are slightly higher than we would like but include £50 towards new clubhouse. Our special offer for 2010 was £58 a fourball and for that visitors can't complain too much.
