  An absolutely cracking test. Superb heathland layout, demands accuracy, and good course management. Greens are very true and reasonably speedy without being too fast

  i have played this course often in the past. it never lets you down you have to think your way round it.every hole plays a different direction to the hole you have just played. with it being tree lined you have to judge your shots on a windy day very carefully.the sandy ground makes it ideal for playing in wet conditions. you wont be dissapointed .i guarentee you will use every club in your bag.
