Great mix of links and parkland. The holes are framed beautifully by the pines. And it is always in outstanding condition. Not forgetting the iconic clubhouse.

Rude staff
While enquiring about playing the course, I was delt with by an extremely rude member of staff on the phone. His attitude along with his unwillingness to acmmodate a simple request is why the group will not be visiting this resort. Disappointing as the pictures appear to show a great course.Reviewer Rating

Tough test
In windy rainy conditions this course is a real test. Club selection and strategy has to be perfect to score well here.Reviewer Rating

Appalling Condition
Played over 3 days on the European Disabled tour this week, I went out on the first day thinking WOW Tommy Fleetwood’s home club but was bitterly disappointed! The first day we were having to shoot from fairways that were bare and I was needing deliberately aim for rough to get grass beneath the ball. I hadn’t been in a bunker all round and the greens seemed highly inconsistent, speed and how true they were on a line.Day 2 we were given a pick and place for proffered lies on fairways after the referees assessed the course, I finally went in to a bunker on 17 on day 2 and genuinely hurt myself! I have suffered spinal and neck injuries and when hitting from the bunker it was like contacting with concrete which ended with excruciating spinal pain, neck and fierce nerve pain and had the same issue in two more bunkers on day 3. Also on day 1; one of the gross competitors got away with no injury luckily after the top of one of the bunkers caved in underneath him, we were then on day 2&3 having to tester bunkers to see if they were structurally safe to enter, if not a free drop was in play.
2 players had to withdraw due to the hotel receptionist having given away all easy access rooms so the competitors had to with draw and drive back home… Cambridge to Liverpool and back again with a practice round in between is a long day! 8am-1:30am
Needless to say I and many/most of the other competitors were bitterly disappointed… yes the course was a challenge but the condition was woeful, they splash Tommy’s name all over the place but I’ve played better municipal council courses and it’s a shame because I like most were saying this place could be an unbelievable venue! Saying all this the staff were genuinely nice and helpful and credit to them in that aspect.

Over priced and in poor condition.
The golf course is very expensive for a poorly maintained links. Though the greens were generally good the fairways and rough were a bit ropey and the bunkers are in a bad state for a supposedly good course. There are a lot of areas around the course that need cleaning up that improve it appearance.Reviewer Rating

Stunning parkland course
Lovely course, front 9 is more payable than the back, which has a few very long holes which can be a bit of a slog!! Overall though, very enjoyable and challenging.Reviewer Rating
