What the club says: The Blakes Championship course, designed by renowned course architect Howard Swan, is best described as an inland links. The layout and undulations of the course are totally unique to the area with rolling fairways and sleepered bunkers giving the feel of a traditional seaside links.

Expensive for what you get
I have played here about 10 times, and yes its a bit rugged, but its usually around ?18 a round. We paid ?27, and phoned the club to ask if a guest could join us. The club quoted ?27, but when we arrived charged oir guest ?37. I was unhappy, as its not worth ?27, let alone ?37. Round took over 5hrs as it was so busy. Wont rush back.Reviewer Rating

Nice greens, no bunkers
Disappointed they have increased the prices. It shouldn't cost more than ?25 for a course with no bunkers in play. It is a nice layout, really good greens and fairways are ok for this time of year. Kevin in the pro shop is great, very welcoming.Reviewer Rating

Delightful
Lovely course to play.Well manicured and very well maintained.
Good open fairways and greens like snooker tables for the most part.
Bunkers were the only negative due lack of playable sand.
The holes keep you interested all the way around with some very challenging and some not so punitive.
The 8th water surrounded par 3 green is obviously the jewel in the crown.
The layout can be a bit strange in places. The clubhouse drive cutting across a number of holes is a nuisance and finding your way to a couple of tee boxes was far from clear due to a lack of effective signage.
Clubhouse was nice and modern. Staff were pleasant although didn’t seem overly happy in their work.
Overall a very enjoyable round but unfortunately due to some of the travel between holes I suggest one you would be best served doing in a buggy.

wet round at Blakes
I had a fantastic round at Blakes, a good inland links-style course with beautiful rolling hills and superb greens. well laid out, I played off 12 and shot an 82, with only one lost ball. Island Green.We had the deal of 2 x players and a buggy for ?60 well worth it, the staff in the bar and pro shop are lovely really friendly as were some of the members, will definitely book again.

Excellent Greens
Found the course to be in a surprisingly good condition despite all the recent wet weather. Greens were fast, bunkers well raked and weeded and green aprons good. Will definitely be back to play in the summer when it will hopefully be sunnier and less windy.Reviewer Rating

The Course is in fair condition considering the amount of rain we have had, the greens were good, the bunkers let the Course down and have done for some time and the buggy track needs work to fill in some large pot holes.
