Awesome golf course in an unreal setting and very well maintained, highly recommend playing here if you get the chance. Demanding but fair course that makes you think. If you’re getting a caddie ask for Dave, great guy who knows his stuff
Can't rate Josh highly enough. He is sensitive to the golfer in front of him, adapting his advice and comments to the swing he sees. Backing any comments up with data that is equally as sensitive - a great combo. Josh doesn't try & overhaul a swing and make you feel lost, rather he provides careful direction as to how to become more repeatable. My HCP is around 7 now and we instantly added 8/9 yards on my 7 iron, whilst erasing one side of the course (see pics). Josh uses various bit of equipment/tech to analyse & feedback on your game from tee to green. I'd highly encourage anyone who uncertain to just give Josh a go, with one lesson - you won't regret it & your golf with thank you if it could!
This was much more than just a round of golf. I was expecting to play an historic course with it’s own golf museum and both exceeded my expectations. I was treated as if I was everyone’s favorite club member by the staff and the members stopped to talk with justifiable pride about the course I was about to play. Lunch before the round was excellent with a beautiful view of the course. The caddie was a club member who not only gave essential advice, but shared stories about the course and the area. In the bar afterwards the atmosphere was very welcoming. I left feeling as if I’d made new friends and I think I have.
The views are stunning, made to feel welcome by the lady serving teas and cakes, but the cost of playing 18 holes is far to expensive. The fairways are covered in sheep and horse muck. For the £90 per person paid I expected better quality greens. I’ve played many better links courses for a lot cheaper green fees.
Very friendly place which still retains much of its Old world charm whilst moving into the modern times,. especially the standard and quality of the Restaurant and Social side of Golf Club Life.
As far as my friends and I are concerned, It is the place to go.
Went for a lunch time meal, waited a while before before staff told us which was our table. Lovely meal, but empty plates were left a long time before clearing, they were busy and some young staff. Lovely view over Golf course and beyond, but basically furnished Restaurant. Men's toilet is through men's changing room. Ample parking on site. Nice meal but won't be going again.
At points wide open. The rushes and bushes are what will swallow your ball. The thing that makes this course tricky will always be fighting the wind and judging yardage. Greens true and well paced. Starter was helpful. Clubhouse like a museum of history
We followed our kiwi daughter around the course. A well designed links course, with shared sheep access rights, while she enjoyed tips from local club members on each approach.
