I hadn't played here for 10 years or so and it hasn't really improved in that time.
This has always been an 18 hole course where there is probably only space for 12 or 14 decent holes and front 9 in particular is very tightly packed and had been re-configured again since my last visit.
Greens were exceptionally slow and course is in generally poor condition with a lot of G.U.R., though the incessant rain of the last 6 months won't have helped there.
A good course for a little hack around and to get some practice in after 6 months away but I couldn't really recommend it beyond that.
Bar is pleasant enough and served very good food.

Plus: Not a bad course- greens in good shape.
Minus: pack too many tee times in so play is very slow. Lots of four balls with only 7-8 mins between tees.
Just feels a bit greedy.

Much improved from previous years
Great 'inn' style clubhouse with the best breakfast around. Good weather on Saturday mornings means long queues for the first tee. First time I've played since the revised layout, which has lost one of the best and longest holes, but does seem to have addressed slow play, previously encountered through conductive short holes (previously holes 2 to 4). Mostly an enjoyable round, despite yobos peppering be the first fairway from the driving range.Reviewer Rating

Challenging Short Course
This course has a lot going for in terms of value and condition. A full 18 holes with a mix of par 3s 4s and the odd 5 it has woods, water and ditches to present a reasonable challenge to most golfers whilst still maintaining its friendliness to those that are new to the game. The fairways and greens are very well maintained and the bard and food facilities are likewise very good. Well worth a visit but pick your moments as it can get quite busyReviewer Rating

Played here for the first time and really enjoyed it as it ticks all the boxes for a golf course I like. It has par 3, par 4 and a couple of par 5s there is also bunkers and water hazards on several of the holes as well and trees and bushes scattered about the place. So the question is do you play safe or go for it over the trees, bushes and water hazards which could mean your in trouble if you don't make it.
All in all a beautiful place to play golf just be careful on the first fairway as it runs along side the the driving range and lot of balls do make it over the high fence.

Decent cheap course. Good to earn at as most holes are very reachable fr every golfer. Tight in places so not always easy.

Good challenging course in good condition.Location of the greens not always apparent.
Game slightly spoilt by quite a few young players in buggies who were a bit short on etiquette.

Short Course, testing but confidence building
The course although short in yardage, it testing enough to challenge a mid handicapper like me, but at the same time has plenty of Birdie/Par opportunities to help build confidence. I usually play as a 2 -ball and comfortably complete a round in just over 3 hours. Staff are great, course is inexpensive would highly recommend.Reviewer Rating

Good course and quite challenging for a relatively short one. It is however very popular and can therefore get quite busy on occasion.
