    Tough but fair. Greens lovely and true. Tee boxes immaculate. Fairways excellent but cut tight. Very enjoyable.

    An absolutely outstanding course ,from tee boxes to fairway and then beautiful consistent greens.Plenty of water and little drains to make you think about your shots, very friendly welcoming staff first time here but definitely by the last.
