The accommodation suited us well with 2 twin bedded rooms and a single room. The breakfasts at the Boutique hotel were excellent with a wide range of options to suit every taste. Bed linen and towels were changed on 3 occasions during our stay. We mostly ate in the Clubhouse bar which was very welcoming, reasonably priced and offered our party a sufficient range of culinary choice. All of our party thought the package excellent value for money.

We payed the course on 4 occasions in mostly sunny but at times breezy conditions. It did not appear overplayed and the greens were in good condition although difficult to read. We found the aprons around the greens very sticky and difficult to penetrate and as a result rather frustrating as often a lofted approach shot was impossible because of the overhanging pines. It remained a challenge throughout our stay!

Course has been turned around again, second time in the 6 years we have been going, but it now has a decent clubhouse rather than the ‘shed’ which now is the main shop for the driving range.

Where do I start. The course is not having basic maintenance tasks completed such as cutting grass, raking bunkers, moving pin positions, and repairing tee boxes. The layout of the course is good but the lack of investment by the owners means it is one to completely avoid. We arrived at the club or be told our six tee times had been split with a 1h 30 gap. The day was a total disaster golf wise.

5th visit here and have noticed that it has become a little more of a business in the last couple of years where the focus seems to be to cram as many people as possible onto the course which is a shame as it is a nice course.

It appears that the course has been set up with limited space as it has five par 3’s and an excessive number of cross overs with a number of holes going off in different directions!

sadly this course is getting too many groups playing on it. held up on nearly every hole due to slow play ( mainly French and Scandinavians who don't really let you play through when they are looking for their balls)Very tight fairways which means a lot of lost balls and people playing 3 off the tee which as I say slowed the whole round up.Would be a great course if it had say 15 minutes between tee time not 10 minutes.
