"Not in as great an order as other years but still good"

"Front 9 very hilly and difficult,so inability to take buggies close to Green made it hard work! Back 9 much flatter and wider so easier and more enjoyable. Amazingly though,pace of play much quicker on front 9. Greens good Fairways average Buggies good Buggy paths tricky in places Bunkers poor"

"The course was in fabulous condition, just a few bare spots due to heavy buggy traffic. Several holes are visually stunning, tree lined on the front 9 but more open on the back 9, a lot of raised greens making club selection difficult. The greens putted really well, very quick downhill and quite hot of grain on some greens. Having not played it before I found it tricky in several places, but overall it was visually stunning and a real pleasure to play. The par 5 13th especially is a superb hole with water all the way down the left hand side, special mention for the par 3 11th as I made 2 there! The customer service was first class, you definitely need a buggy as some of the hikes from green to tee are very long and hilly, there is still quite a lot of walking required as the buggy paths are well back from all of the greens.
