The course is Very open & well suited to the more wayward player, the condition is good & the facilities are very good, with nice surroundings.

The par 5's are a bit easy and the par 3's interesting. Not long and worth a visit.

played matfen 15th March 2007. The pro was very informative and helpful, and the course played well (even though we played off temp tee's). the course's main greens were in play and were in really good condition for the time of year.

the course wasn't as wet as i thought it would have been and my only real gripe would be that we got caught behind a 3-ball of ladies members which took 15 minutes per hole.

we used the 2 fore 1 voucher scheme and all in all had a good day's golf for not a lot of money. the course also has a nine hole course opening in june 2007 and i would like to return to play that also.

well worth a visit if your in the area.

Played the course in the last couple of days.Fairways fiarly wide, but the rough was deep!The greens were fast and true. The par 3 10th next to the clubhouse is picturesque, and the finishing hole is great.

Beware the river that runs through a few of the closing holes, and the wall that seems to run through a fair number of the holes.

This course is a pleasure to play,and I would go there again.

I last played this course in August 2003.

First thing I must say is that the course is a good and fair test of your golf - regardless of ability.

Outstanding views of the local area.

The clubhouse is modern and offers good quality food.

The negative side of this course is that with just 8 minutes between tee times, on a busy day (and it's usually busy) then delays quickly build up. By the time we'd reached the par 3 4th Tee, we had to wait in line with the three groups in front of us whilst waiting for the green to clear.

No course marshalls were in evidence and our group left the course after the 6th green - some 2 hours and 10 minutes after we'd started - that equates to a round lasting 6 hours 30 minutes.

The pro shop staff did (eventually) refund the equivelant of 12 holes to us, but it was done in a way that made the experience even worse.

A great shame about the way the course is managed (or not as the case may be) because it provides an interesting game in an area of outstanding beauty.

Played this course in early August 2003, the fairways and greens were in excellent condition and its part of the 2 for 1 offer so it's well worth a visit...very entertaining, and some great views, just watch out for the 'ha-ha' walls, especially on the dog-leg 2nd, where you play slightly downhill to a elevated green!!!
