First off.... we played in horrendously windy conditions which didn't lend itself to a great game of golf, but that's the only real bad point. Lovely course and very scenic. The greens were for the most part immaculate and whilst hilly in parts it never felt a slog. We had travelled quite a way to play there and were almost sent away as none of us had winter wheels on out trolleys. Not something I've ever come across at another course. The official let us play so long as we kept our trolleys on the light rough and off the fairways. We were told not to play off the fairway and instead to take a fairway mat or move the ball to the light rough from the fairway! I totally get looking after the course but you also have to be able to play golf. Unfortunately because of all the placing of matts and moving of balls our 4 ball wasn't the quickest round the course.

Read moreJust referencing the review from Jake Bradley. I played directly behind him and I am a member. This would happen at most clubs as there was a competition in front and behind. The error for which we apologise is the booking was put in at the wrong place/time which placed Jake in a slow round with little chance of playing through. The members are not being arrogant but a visitor would not get preference over a competition at most courses. Hopefully Jake will give us another chance so we can get him a proper slot. I would be happy to play a round with him also if he needed a playing partner to show him around the course. From a member...
