This course is a true test for any golfer. The first six holes call for accuracy rather than power as you wind your way to the bottom end of the heath, through beautiful, established beech woodlands. The short third is a delight - a wedge through a tight, tree-lined elevated approach.
The having played with tee shots and mid/short irons throughout the first half dozen you hit the Seventh. A long par five, OOB all the way on the right. A left to right sloping fairway. The an incredibly tough approach to an elevated green. (A blind shot to an Amercian. To the right of the
green, the ground steeply slopes into heavy rough, to the left thehill slopes onto the putting surface, but beware of trying to use it as a safety zone. Either the ball will get caught in the rough, or it will run down and throught the green. An awesome challenge no matter your level of play.The course moves back to the top level through eight and nine. The front nine has the ball above and below the feet throughout and is very tight.
The back nine is played on the top part of the Heath, but is also undulating. The Twelfth hole is an uphill par 3 back to the clubhouse and then you move to the "Top Six". The highlight of the closing holes is the fifteenth, an awesome challenge. After a drive which must be hit to the fullest you reach the crest of a valley over which doglegged slightly to the
left is a the green. A short drive leaves a completely blind shot. The Green is protected by OOB yards to the right, and sharp slope if you a long, generally leaving no shot, another incline to the left down to the sixteenth tee. Play short and a greenside bunker will catch you, or the valley will claim the ball. For me this is the signature hole.

Altogether the course is well established, generally in great condition, with true and very accepting greens ( if a little slow)

Hilly course, an abundence of interesting drives, a whole load of climbing hills, great greens, well kept fairways. This is a blindingly good and very interesting course, extremely well kept.

You will need to be fit, you will need some straight drives, and believe me...you will love the challenge!
