played on the friday 31st July in our society the Pennine Golf Society,where 10 of us attempted to take on this intriging links course.A GREAT course well worth the money and a fair challenge.I WOULD SUGGEST THAT ANYONE OVER SAY 18 HANDICAP would struggle if the wind got up say over 15mph,so therefore stay clear.I playb off 13 and shot 83 gross for my first time on the course and played in 30mph wind gusts,so really enjoyed it and played well. Recommend it,great value,great course.

Played as part of large group (about 16 of us) on a weekend trip in March 2009. Very pleasantly surprised by the course. An odd start teeing off over the racecourse but it gets better, although the last 2 holes are a bit disappointing. Very "linksy" but without being able to see the sea for the majority of the round, due to some very attractive mobile homes that line the seaward side.

The club house & members were very friendly & provided a great breakfast to start us off before the round, good beer afterwards in a very comfortable bar.

Overall great value and very pleasant round of golf.

Played here January 08 (£23 including a 2 course meal).

Quite an interesting,fun, quirky links .It's unusual in that it goes in & out of a horse racetrack (on the 1st you actually go over the railings twice)but it doesn't detract that much from the actual course.The surroundings aren't that pretty with a caravan park running along one boundary & at no point do you see the sea.

Easy walking, there's a good variety of holes here.With sleepers ,gorse ,marker posts,humpy fairways most of the holes are interesting.(The tough 11th is a cracker with the fairway funnelling along between high dunes that wouldn't be out of place on an open championship course).

Although the par 3's are quite good the shortest one is 161 yards & if a couple of them were around 150 yards they would be more entertaining.Also, there's only 1 par 3 in the 1st 11 holes so it's a bit imbalanced.

The pro was very welcoming & the 2 course meal after was good.

This is a very old club & you can feel the history in the course.

For some good fun links golf i'd have no hesitation in recommending this.

A really pleasant surprise.It msy not have the name of one of the classic links but it works.

Criss crossing the racecourse you fear the worst on the first tee...but it gets better and better,good long holes,tricky short ones,all with high qualitygreens,even in February.Like most links it helps to have either played it before or have someone who has playing with you,soour second round made life easier added tothe fact there was no wind.

The clubhouse maybe could do with updating but you cannot deny the friendly atmosphere....from what I saw these guys can drink,the food was well priced and excellent quality.

This is a real hidden gem,priced to play,give it a go
