Long excellent memorable parklands course

Hire a buggy!!!! Exceptional maintained & typical parkland course that is long, all holes protected by bunkers, excellent rolling greens, tight tee shots at times with the trees growing in both sides. Bunkers lack of sand & stony being the only minus point. Amazed we couldnt keep up in a buggy with the spritely pensioners in front!!!! The smell of BBQ steaks coming up the 18th as the sunset completed a highly enjoyable late afternoons golf. NB Beware of the cars entering via the course to the country house and the long walk to the 11th tee - the card is a bit misleading.

Decent course

The course itself was decent but be warned the walking will break you down. The sheer amount of walking from teebox to teebox is astonishing. The 1st to the 2nd was possibly just under 1/2 km.. The pins were impossible with the holes cut on actual slopes which was a bit ridiculous but the greens did play very fast which made it intresting. The course is better on the back 9 but I wouldn't pay more than 30 to play the course and my overall advice is get a buggy cause I was drained approaching each shot

Great Parkland Course

Phantastic parkland course. Unfortunately I was only able to play the back nine because rain set in, and I didn't feel like getting wet.

Great Course

A nice course, needs a little attention but that might be down to recent weather conditions.
Playable for all levels, but the real rewards are for the players who are willing( and able) to shape shots and take on the greens.

Super course, will be back again

When we turned up having never played it before we were a bit wary while putting on the practice putting green, which was not great to say the lease.

Once we got to the first green all doubts were wiped away. The course was stunning and you really have to think about club selection on each hole. Very pleased we played it although the club pro could do with some cheery pills. Also opening the gate at 9 in the middle of summer was just crazy when there was a train of cars waiting to get in. The course really made up for it. LOVED IT!!
