    i really found this one or the most frendly atmosphere i have ever come across. i didnt see too much pretenous attitude that has become all too common since the boom. the course was a great little challange and i cant wait till whats now going to be an annual pilgrimage. unmatched value for money in food and golf

    This course gets better each week from year to year - Great credit must go to the Committee and management of the club. New Clubhouse completed and Open week in progress. Keep up the good work.

    I am of the opinion that this is an excellent course, with a good balance between long and short holes. It contains some mediocre greens though this is understandible as they have not had much time to mature. The sod can sometimes be a bit wet but there have been drains installed to counteract this
    problem. There are a sizeable amount of challenging holes. Some of the more notable holes are the 2nd in its beautiful setting, and the twelfth, a tricky par four. Overall, I think it is a excellent course and well worth a try.
