Probably worth doing as long as you don't pair up with forum knobs ?

Individual Stableford, so I'd be really unlucky

Only played it once - about 25/30 years ago so can't help but Oddsocks was a member there I believe. Should be able to give you the low down on it.

@Oddsocks left so he should be fine

90 mins drive? Is that all!

Nice course - fairly wide fairways, one or two longish holes. Pretty decent location.. I'd go again.

Played 9 there three/two weeks ago and it was mint! They’ve invested heavily and still ongoing so in my opinion well worth the drive if nothing more than to share mobility scooter tips!

If the pizza van is out, I strongly recommend the chorizo and chicken although if it’s a pensioners day they may be blending the meals and serving them in a sippy cup

Played the Orange course on a Mizuno Singles Golf Day last month, it's hillier than expected and a fine course, wouldn't say it was particularly special. For £45 incl lunch I'd say go for it, not bad value. FYI take a trolley!

The best loop is the green, blue is tighter and yellow has a few nice holes. From the three I’ve always found the red a bit boring other 6/7/8.

As Carl said with grub thrown in it’s good value, their food is generally pretty good and the greens are pukka!

Food is definitely significantly better than average - but expensive if paying for it.
When I played it, quite some time ago so I can't remember which colour or even if that's how it was set up, some of the greens were recovering from damage from being vandalised, but were pretty good otherwise. The first club I'd seen with an indoor range and Launch Monitor.

Thanks for the replies lads.
Might well give it a bash

I think you’ll enjoy it rob, with a hot summer the rough is a little thinner then normal but still take plenty of donnay tour spin
