Course looks great
Course looks great but greens were the worse I've seen them, tee times were late dinner time bar was shut and pro shop was shop when we finished, if your looking for membership anywhere wouldn't look at this ....
Very well maintained
We found the premier course in excellent condition , with our late T off time the round was relaxed and un rushed plus the weather was perfect. Thanks !
Great course for the money l
Got this on golfnow hot deal for £21, definitely worth the money on this, would happily pay more. Course was in excellent condition throughout with only the odd area of mud (very rare) which was labeled GUR. Staff were friendly when checking in at the pro shop and in the bar after the round. Certainly going again soon!
Ain’t no premier here
First impressions are of a dated club house…a little grubby and unkempt decor with rusty plumbing in the toilets.
Practice putting green is mediocre but for some reason has the air line close by instead of where most are place….after the 18th hole.
The stairs coming down from the car park to the rear of the club house are dangerous and slippery when wet…I’d advise walking the long way around.
We were told that the tee boxes were all in use…which wasn’t the case….! It was their winter tees, which was just heavily trampled grass with yellow and red markers placed in front of the actual tees. The markers haven’t been moved in a while..
The course in general wasn’t that great and not worth the £25 to play….maybe in spring/summer I would pay £25.
Finally the pace of play was slow hence there are signs around informing you to increase your pace of play….golfers don’t seem to pay any attention to these….Our group had to walk through a group we were following due to their slow pace as the 2 groups following us caught up.
Don’t expect a premier golf course….!
Great afternoon
Lovely weather fantastic views course is challenging and interesting loved it pace of play was abit slow overall no complaints
Great course
2nd time visiting the premier course will be back again! Brilliant course
Great ciurse
This is a fantastic golf course and in excellent condition as it always is when I play here , certainly a challenge with some great holes , recommend it .
Saturday afternoon round
Course was in excellent condition, never had any issues with the course or staff. Would highly recommend.
My first ever problem was back 9, an 8ball jumped on in front of us and totally slowed down play. Thankfully they let us play through by the 12th as we was only a two ball..
finishing touches required
This course has the potential to be a top venue but the finer details are missing
The fairways are to long as are the greens
Great Course
First time playing here and it was a great course, fairways and greens in very good condition. Good layout with some great views of the surrounding areas. Would recommend.
Good course but let down the the greens
Really enjoyed the course but badly let down by the greens, the green staff were out catching up now we have some nice weather so some things were behind like cut ties etc but overall not bad but the greens are in dire need of attention (moss, weed grass, pitch marks and uneven pace) just to name a few, don't know if it's always been like this or just after this bad winter but sort that out and it would make the round much more enjoyable.
