Hidden Gem…

What a lovely course, fairways in great condition and greens immaculate considering it was October, the course it self is well laid out and no serious hills or climbs. One thing I have to mention is the welcome we got. There was the possibility that some of the greens may be winter greens but the Pro unbidden told us if that was the case he would sort something out for us to make sure we got another chance with greens all on. How nice was that, fortunately the sun came out and all greens bar one where on. Fantastic gesture and one that ensures we will certainly return to this lovely golf course. If you get the chance play it, you won’t be disappointed…

Great layout

Really friendly staff. The course had just cored and sanded the greens so putting was a bit sore or maybe it was me.

Lovely course in great nick!

Enjoyed playing every hole, so much variety difficulty and fairness but no time lost in looking for wayward shots which meant finishing the round in 3 hours : )

Mature fairways were a pleasure to walk on and hit off, tee boxes all near greens - could do with a sign at 16 pointing to 17, we did get lost here but the members were good natured and tolerant.

Lovely clubhouse, very welcoming and we will eat there on our next visit. Can’t speak highly enough of this course, definitely return and highly recommend : )

Great course

Played this twice now, it's definitely a challenging course but really well maintained and lovely holes. The greens are now prepped for winter but that will be the same for all courses.

Reasonable course

Staff & members were very welcoming, course was in reasonable condition but felt the greens were worn & had a few bare patches (seed was down). Fairways were reasonable & rough was not overly punishing. Felt it was let down by having no Par 5 holes (1 if playing off medal tees) if the club could find a way of squeezing in a couple of 5’s it would make the course a better test. There were no bar or food facilities open but at the lowly cost of £12 each it seems ridiculous to criticise.

Hidden Gem

On arrival in the pro shop, we were warmly welcomed and this continued throughout. Everyone was super helpful and friendly. The clubhouse has a typical local feel- breakfast butties were fabulous and definitely what was needed before play. Again, the clubhouse staff were so nice and friendly.
The golf course was in great condition - greens were great, although perhaps a little slow and it took a few holes to get the “feel”. The course has a few blind shots and some wonderful holes to navigate. In summary, a fantastic parkland course, suits all handicaps and superb value for money. The icing on the cake was the friendly atmosphere. We will be back.

A real hidden gem. Best course I have played for the price I paid. Weather was good which made it a good challenge on the greens. Can't think of a bad hole on the course, every one a test.
Will certainly go back before the end of the season.

Some nice holes

Course in really good condition and course was quiet.
Few stand out holes but best was probably the 4th which is a really challenging par 4.Got a hot deal and 48 quid for a four ball was excellent value
