Played it loads and stayed quite a few times. I love the course. It's a proper old school course and in Summer can be really tough, the gorse and ferns swallow balls relentlessly. Errant drivers may find it hard work. The Hotel has gone through a few changes, it did have a bit of a lull about 2-3 years ago where it lost it's way. Recent trips have been better and value for money is good. One of my favourite venues to return to.
We used to take a mixed ability group there, and it was one of those courses which was still a good challenge for the lower handicappers without beating up the higher handicappers.
Have played there twice. Enjoyed the course despite not playing well. Got caught out by the bunkers a few times
Course was in good condition and as others have said is a fair test for high and low handicappers
Have not stayed at the hotel
We stayed there on a weekend break it’s a nice area
I played one round and found the course enjoyable, it was popular with society’s accommodation was basic but ok hotel/clubhouse bit of a strange mix I believe a hotel chain brought the club so an old clubhouse mixed with a hotel chain breakfast was basic - we did not dine there as plenty of pubs/restaurants locally
