Extremely Wet

Course shouldn’t have been open. We were let play in the wet. The course should have closed, every fairway waterlogged, standing water on greens, mud on the fairways. We only played 7 holes and headed home soaked. Miserable day ever! We all felt that we shouldn’t have been let play and given a refund. Even the group ahead called it a day after 7 holes. On a good day I know it’s a lovely golf course.
Three very unhappy golfers.

Bring Extra Golf Balls

Beautiful course. It was in great condition. I lost count of the golf balls I lost in the water but I'll definitely go back. The par 5s are all stunning. Maybe improve the signs from hole to hole but that's only a minor complaint.

The game

The course was ok . The greens not great for a championship course . Bunkers haven't been raked in weeks Boulders in them . And the fool who works in the pro shop has the personality of mongoose.

Course shouldn’t have been opened in such conditions.

I’m sure it’s a lovely course but it shouldn’t have been opened today. When you see ducks in puddles in the middle of the fairway you know you’re in trouble.

Disappointed.....

Greens were in bad shape, very bumpy, too much sand. Fairways and tees muddy, bunkers were OK, but lack sand in greenside bunkers. Course is definitely overplayed and under maintained. Ibce a nice course, now just a mediocre parkland course.

Not bad.

Nice mature track, 7 very good holes ...rest are a bit ordinary. Bit muddy in spots, greens are very bumpy and a lot of sand after being punched. Bunkering placement is good, sand quite average. Great facilities (Especially range area), friendly staff and just needs a bit of attention to details( possible drainage as it wasnt really that wet this week) considering it's previous status.

Superb course and great value for money

Absolutely spectacular course. Stunning to walk and every hole has something interesting on it. Course was well maintained and in spite of the wettest winter in years, the fairways and greens were still in good nick.

Only minor negative for some would be the distance between green and next tee. It is a little long on some holes, but I enjoyed the walk and scenery, so didn’t bother me at all.
