I don’t think I’ve played on a course where the ball has rolled as far as it did here. The course is very dry, the fairways themselves aren’t too bad but the ball just didn’t seem to stop, sounds like I’m complaining but it’s great. The greens were very good and very true.

The course itself has subtle changes in elevation but nothing too noticeable. There is quite a cool view from the 13th tee which is quite elevated. When you look at the length of the course you think it’d be a relatively long one but with the roll of the ball doesn’t play that bad and with a smattering of trees it’s not too tough a test.

There is a decent driving range although I must question the safety as the 10th runs parallel to the right hand side of it, I’d be lying if I said one of my practice shots didn’t end up on the 10th.

I played here on a Sunday and the pace of play was pretty good, wasn’t crowded at all. It has more of a local feel to the course and decent value for money.
