It’s a great challenging course which has really come on in the last few years. The staff are extremely friendly, and the food is also great. I will definitely be coming back and I hope to bring my society along soon
Great course. Friendly staff – John
Excellent challenge for all golfers with some very interesting holes. Massive improvement to when previously played a few years ago and you can tell that a lot of care and attention has been given to improve the quality of the course.
Excellent challenge – Andrew
Just had an event lunch here with the new chef. Absolutely fantastic. Beautiful lamb with exquisite vegetables and accompaniments. Some of the best raspberry sorbet I have ever had for dessert. I can’t recommend this chef highly enough
Unbelievably great lunch – Gabby
