Along with 6 other forumers, I had the chance to play here on Sunday afternoon thanks to TXL of this here forum.
1st Impressions were great. Drive up to the car park which overlooks the 1st hole and are greeted with a very modern looking club house.
The clubhouse itself looks brand new. The bar is spacious with great patio space for watching people come in on the 18th hole (just watch out for pitch shots thinned through the green
!).
Decent bar with Asahi on tap and some great real ale and the food is VERY reasonably priced and very tasty. The chips are beyond amazing.
As far as facilities - the changing room is nice, there's a dedicated chipping green, "own ball" range and a practice putting green (the only downside of which is that it's right next to the white tee's on the 1st - could be off putting for some when the tee is busy and I wouldn't like to shank one from the blue tees which sit further back! Wasn't a problem for me though. I just made sure I fatted one that rolled down and crept on the fairway.
The course itself is lovely. I've probably mentioned it about a hundred times over the last few days and Anthony is sick of hearing it no doubt, but it's hilly. Very hilly. Couple that with the hottest day of the year and you have some interesting sweat patches and golfers chafe! Because of the extreme up and down of the terrain, it makes for some beautiful picturesque views from the tee of each hole..and by picturesque I mean farking scary!
Very challenging for a golfer of any level due to the tightness of some holes, the numerous blind tee shots (must have been at least 5) and the undulating and relatively small greens.
The course was in great condition and I would not hesistate to go back and play another round there. Well worth the green fee.
Many thanks again to Anthony for the invite, even if he did take the money!
