Outstanding

The course was in excellent condition proving a real challenge. Fairways were in good condition and greens rolling very well. Only problem faced was due to a wedding there was a photographer wondering down a fairway seemingly oblivious. The course itself however was outstanding and we will be returning

Poor

Course is in really really poor condition, it had not rained in 3 days and the course was in terrible condition, should not have been open in my opinion, the ground was waterlogged and the greens were thick, tee boxes waterlogged too so unable to tee off at times. I had to move from the tee boxes to other areas.

Great course, very wet!

Played this course yesterday for the first time. Was pleasantly surprised, nice atmosphere and surroundings on the course, good variety of holes, I tended to notice a lot of par 5 and par 3 holes but perhaps that was just me.

Before teeing off, pro shop guy was nice and friendly, warned me it was very wet under foot, carry only and some temps were on, out there he wasn’t wrong it was very wet in places and there was some work taking place.

I would recommend and would like to play it again in dryer conditions.

Poor drainage

I played here 20 plus years ago and vowed I would not play again
But went on 3/2/25 and remembered why
There is very little to no drainage on the course every ball plugged so spent the full round cleaning balls and clubs
I know it’s early in the year but I have played a few courses since the beginning of the year and had no problems
The greens are covered in foot prints and are near impossible to putt on
The sad news is this could be a fantastic course to play
but unfortunately not for me might try again in another 20 years

Winter greens already

Winter greens on this early is ridiculous, I was thinking of membership next year but won’t be now. Was like playing on a field for 32 pound each. Very disappointing , winter greens can’t be putted on.

Had t played here for over 35 years and the course has changed a lot with mature trees and lusher fairways. The layout was identical as I remember .
