John HeatleyAugust 24, 2024Course is not in good condition. The greens are very patchy and the bunkers are the worst I’ve played with very little sand and plants growing in them.
Michael ChamberlainOctober 01, 2022Love this course as it's ideal for a quick 9 if needed. There's a few tricky holes that need a bit of thought. Ideal for the beginner or average golfer. Excellent advice in the shop. It's had some development with better tees and fairways in good condition.
Dan WillsonDecember 30, 2021Could be a superb course. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good Sunday day out, but more for a social. The greens aren’t very well looked after, we played about 2-3 weeks after a storm and there were storm twigs on the greens so they haven’t been matted. There are also a lot of worm mounds which affect hall line. The course itself is quite challenging which is great, and ideal in summer but the greens let it down. Also quite boggy in winter but that can’t be avoided in Blighty! It’s good for a day out but not the best if you’re sticking a wager on with your mates or looking for a score challenge.
Steven HarkerJune 08, 2021Nice layout and challenging in places my first time overall very good course ball tended to bobble on greens
James PageOctober 28, 2018Not well looked after but can’t complain for the price, very cheap
