What can I say - an excellent, testing and scenic track. We members love it and are very proud of it. Our visitors seem to love it and hopefully so will you. I will go take a few snaps to convince you to part with you hard earned £££s

btw - in my opinion the photos of the course on the website (navigate to The Course) don't actually do it full justice - and we members didn't have any say in the music used in the the little video - or any say on the members who should be filmed But it's a nice ittle video nonetheless.

Good stuff sir. Let me know when you might be thinking of playing and I'll let you know state of play with course (re maintenance etc). Autumn maintenance programme starts shortly. Pity - the course is in magnificent condition at the moment. However recovery is quick. Few Saturday midday snaps attached
