I was going to leave this until I got home, but my phone condescended to get a decent 3G connection and let me upload them here.
It's not a very good camera on my phone so they don't really do it justice but hey ho.
It's a short-ish course, around 6,000yds off the yellows (6,200 off the whites) with 4 par 4's under 300yds (although 2 of them will put your ball in someone's garden or down a main road if you go for it and get it slightly wrong), and lots of places to not even bother looking for a wayward ball.
It's 2/3 parkland and 1/3 links, although I wouldn't class it as proper links. Having said that I've never played a proper links course so what do I know?
Also quite a few blind shots including a couple of approaches over 20' hills and a par 3 over heaps of rubbish playing to a marker behind the green.

View from the first tee.
4th tee. The fairway is through the gap in the hedge on the right.
5th tee. Don't go right!
From the 8th Fairway. The green is round to the right after the trees.
The 8th from the corner.
Just in front of the 9th tee. Only 246 with the green just to the right of the clubhouse but there's a road 10yds right of the trees.
10th tee. Another 'don't go right'.
Looking back across the 10th green towards the sea from the 11th tee.
11th tee. The green's somewhere over to the left!
13th tee. I got talked into trying to get over the mounds in the distance and didn't make it
17th tee. About 220 to the corner then left over another hill to the green.
From the 18th fairway. The hole is only 276 from the yellows but there's OOB 5yds off the back of the green.
