Have played this course on a number of occasions, though not in the last year. It used to be a 12 hole course but then they bought some extra land and made it 18, however, unfortunately it meant that they had to squeeze the existing holes to get the full 18 and it shows. A few occasions you have to wait for people to drive before you can cross your own fairway, or visa versa.

Still a new course where you can move from one fairway to another and get away with it due to lack of trees.

Unfortunately the course suffers from poor drainage in the winter.

It is a reasonable course in the summer, but it feels cramped.

Played this course for the first time recently. Very impressed with the layout of the course (short, but very interesting). Understand that it has improved significantly over the last couple of years.

Only complaint was with the greens where some recent treatment left them a little unpredictable.

Played this course a couple of years back on a wet day and was not that impressed!

However, I played in a competition there in June and the course has improved immeasurably! It is a fair course with some interesting holes, and perfectly possible to score well. The greens especially were much better than I remembered.

Looks a good course for flora and fauna with lakes, wildfowl, and wild flower areas.. very picturesque..

I didn't rate this course very highly! Each hole is very up and down and uninteresting!!

Great course. It is a bit short and tends to get very busy on weekends but if you play off the whites many of the holes become much harder. Loads of water and well placed fairway bunkers ensure that you have to think about every shot.

Unfortunately caught this course on a wet day - it started on the 1st - woe betide the slice or faded fist drive - straight onto the driving range and OOB! This is a really good new course with some very good holes, the 6th, 9th,11th,14th and 18th being the most memorable.

I look forward to playing the course again in better weather.

Well worth a visit.
