Course Reviews
Nice course, but really let down by possibly the worst bunkers i have ever encountered. Rock hard, and full of gravel. Very poor considering we paid £50 each to play. Also felt that they try to cram as many groups on as possible. They paired our two ball with another two ball without even asking us. Sorry, but if I'm paying what i consider to be a lot of money to play, i'd like to have a relaxed round with a friend, not be herded into a procession of 4 balls with a couple of complete strangers. Disappointing.
