Hmmm, never really warmed to it, tbh. The course, to me, doesn't flow naturally. It's localish to me, but I rarely play it now. Better played in the summer as it gets boggy in the cold days.

For me it was a toss up between MW and Sutton Green, I found MW to have too many ditches and drainage areas, the bunkers were very unkempt and the course generally didn't fit right and looked dare I say it scruffy. It didn't help that the 2 times I played the Green keeping staff followed me constantly and one was on his phone during my backswing.

The greens were ok but they rave about them like they are Augusta standard.

Too many juniours with stroppy attitudes, (I saw a 13/14year old snap a TM R11 driver in half). I don't mind people having a bad day but when they stare at you like they are Ricky Fowler and you are some lesser being then shank it I feel like laughing very loudly.

It wasn't for me in the end and I feel for a Standard 2 ball roll up its expensive for what it is.

Just my little opinion though....
