Just a few tips etc for people that ain't been before.
They have a bag drop off area right outside the clubhouse, so you can drive down your clubs/shoes off etc then drive back up to the car park to park your car.
No golf shoes in the clubhouse where you have your bacon sandwich/coffee but there's a spike bar for after the round to have a sherbet or 2.
On the subject of drinks, it's not cheap! Don't expect much change from £4 for a pint, also it's not cheap in the pro shop so if you need stuff like balls/Mars bar or a drink get it before you come.
If you are wanting to use the range if get there in good time, the range is near the 10th tee so it's a little bit of a walk back to the 1st tee. It's a good range with a nice short game practice area.
The par 3 5th is a call up hole, with it being a island green you have to walk round the lake to get to the green, so if there's a group ready on the tee behind let them play there shots then putt out while they walk round.
There's also a drop area to the left of the 5th green so if you chunk it into the water you have the option of going to the drop area which is near the path onto the green.
The rough can be pretty bad in places, I'd suggest if you have any doubt about finding your ball I'd hit a provisional as they can just bury themselves.
That's all I can think of now, if you want to know anything else give me a shout.

With there being a bag drop off, do you have to use the locker rooms to change your shoes? As in it's not allowed in the car park, or is getting kitted up okay in the car park?

Nah it's fine changing your shoes etc in the car park, it's a posh place but it's not stuck up at all.
I just find it handy leaving my shoes in the locker room so I can change into after the round.

Haha nah, just played there quite a lot so thought I'd pass on some info to help people that ain't been before.
If I was part of the sales team I wouldn't be mentioning that the drinks and the pro shop cost a fortune! Ha.

Stableford is also stroke play...

Come again?
Stableford is a strokeplay competition in which you are 'awarded' points for the number of strokes taken to get the ball in the hole.

I knew that and mark knew I knew that. He also knew what I meant by my other post. He was just trying to be pedantic, which is most unlike him.
But I didn't know that you knew that Mark knew that you knew.... if you know what I mean...

I thought it was spelt mark because it was short for skidmark
