Parkland course which has recently had major investment. Easy walking and suits all abilities. Spectacular views of the Trent Valley. Tough finishing holes with the exciting par 3 17th a major feature.

Reviews
Played two rounds at the course on a Friday. We were amazed that hardly anyone else was there. We probably saw less than 10 other players all day.
The course is very much a 9-hole course with extra holes added on and as such is very tight, with wayward shots ending up two or three fairways away at times. On a busy day it could be a nightmare. Most of the longer holes have banks down the side of the fairway to protect the neighbouring holes, which can make for some interesting lies if you are a little off course. There is a lot of OOB and deep rough, so take plenty of balls if you are a wayward hitter. Many of the par 4 holes are up and down and not in the least bit memorable. The greens were very poor compared to most other clubs. Admittedly it has been dry recently, but they looked bare and diseased to me. Memorable holes were the par 3 11th, with an elevated tee and green, with a narrow entry, and the 15th, a sharp dog-leg to the left, with a risk-reward option if you take on the corner.
The food was good and the clubhouse very friendly. The whole days golf only cost £30, so in that respect it was very good value for money. However, it is not a course I would be in a hurry to play again.
Value For Money: Good
