📊 RATINGS SUMMARY
| Category | Rating | Notes (optional but encouraged) |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Condition | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (8/10) | Good condition for a public access course and in the middle of winter as well. |
| Difficulty | ⭐⭐⭐☆ (7.5/10) | Shortish in distance but undulation changes and greens that ran fast with plenty of directional changes make it a really good challenge. |
| Tee Condition | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (8/10) | All tees well grassed and maintained. |
| Fairway Condition | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (8.5/10) | Good fairways, some of the valleys were a tad wet but you expect that. 18th fairway roped off with drop outside ropes. Not sure if due to wetness or recent works. |
| Green Condition | ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (9/10) | Excellent tough greens. Fast but receptive. Well contoured making them very challenging. |
| Bunker Condition | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (8/10) | Well kept and raked. |
| Clubhouse/ Bar & Food | ⭐⭐⭐☆ (7.5/10) | Limited food available, sandwiches and pies only. Pod coffee machine. |
| Pro Shop Experience | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (8/10) | Ok. |
| Value for Money | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (8/10) | Reasonable and very acceptable. |

Best Holes or Memorable Moments
I liked the 1st, a nice wide short par 4 up the hill. Nice hole to start on - we didn't, but you know what I mean.
Preferred the front 9 to the back. Nothing wrong with the back the front 9 was a little more appealing. Hole # 8 is a tempting short par 4 with a huge tree to get over to reach the green in 1, very attractive hole. Nice par 3's, 3, 13 and 16 enjoyable holes. A mix of shorter and reasonable length par 4's and a couple of shorter par 5's.
💬 General comments or suggestions
Expect plenty of undulation throughout the greens, with numerous ridges, slopes, and directional changes that make putting both challenging and rewarding.
Fairways can be tricky with some slopes based on the hilly nature of the property.
A very enjoyable golf course.
