This is a short, par 67 course. Quite flat and very open. You will have difficulty loosing any balls in the rough here! Maybe in the ponds, but not the rough.

The tees, fairways, bunkers and greens were in superb condition when I played here. The semi-rough is kept very short and the few trees that they have are only a few years old. This does help to keep the speed of play up as there is no searching for your ball.

The staff were friendly and helpful.

On the downside - No practice facilities and no bar. They have a counter where you can buy golf balls, gloves, tees, etc. Also you can buy your tea/coffee here.

I played with somebody who had played there before and it did help finding your way around the course, it could do with a few more 'To the next tee' signs!

I have no complaints about the course and would go back there again.

i have played this course twice, it is a bit short but always in excellent condition. and in my mind a confidence boost always goes down well i hit 81 14 over well pleased, not bad as i play off 22. i recommend it for everyone. and the pub down the road is nice too.

It's a nice course, anfd the greens are well kept, a great 18th hole on an island, my only gripe is that they offer weekend winter golf at £20 and included is a breakfast and unlimited golf after 11am.

When we booked it we were asked which tee off time we would like and chose 9:30, therefore forefitting our breakfast, this wasnt made very clear.

First time over here and found the course excellent as I have a high handicap. The only thing that I could fault were the greens which I found a little rutted which didnt allow the ball to run true, I am used to the greens at Crowlands Heath which are the best that I have played. But this course is superb in every other way though...(but as one of the earlier comments points out. OH! for a pint on the 19th)

But this will definately become one of my regular courses.

Have played at this course often before but returned on Sunday 25th February 2007 as we all really enjoy playing over there. Even though the price has risen from £18 to £19 to £20 per round, it is well worth it as you can see where that extra money is being spent. New pathways,markers and shrubs make it a very enjoyable round. Also now they have added a kitchen so you are able to get hold of one of those treasured bacon sandwiches and a coffee before your round

Played this course on 28th January. After three or four months of above average rainfall my members course (five or six miles away) is really quite soggy and muddy. This by comparison was in great condition for the time of year. Fairways were reasonably firm and greens were quite fast, if a little bumpy in places. Overall though it was in top order for a winter round.

The course is, as described quite short but for all of that it made for a really enjoyable round of golf. Whilst the par-4s and 5s are short the placing of water hazards and bunkers meant that you couldn't just thrash at the green. For a lot of the time you had to think your way around.

The aesthetics of the course are also excellent. For instance, there are no broken/old/missing water hazard markers here, tee-boxes aren't broken and the ball washers (of which there are plenty) work and were filled with water. In addition, the paths and tee markers were new, clean and up-to-date.

If I had to make a criticism, it would be the haphazard way some of the holes follow one another and the consequent lack of direction pointers to the next tee. However this is a small thing for them to rectify and I would visit this place again definitely. £20 for a round at weekends was also fair value in this part of the world.
