| Comment |
"When the course is completed it will be one of the longest in the UK at just over 7,100 yards, with the average being 6,400 yards. This, combined with the absence of sand bunkers, will produce a course that is flowing and aesthetically pleasing whilst the design will make for a very challenging course. I believe players will be lucky to get round the first time without losing any balls!"

| About
the Course |
All greens and tees have been built to confirm to USGA standards so will be free draining and allow play all year round.
Vast areas of wild flower pastures have been created to give the course a natural feel, taking away the over-manicured appearance of some modern courses. |
