“Fantastic links golf course right beside Royal Birkdale and Hillside. The best conditions I've experienced in March. The greens were really good. A true challenge. Will definately come back.”

Rated 5 out of 5 by Haakon Rønning Kvam

“Great links course, very tough for an average golfer especially in the wind which was 30mph +. Enjoyed the round and great company with two members . Definitely a day to remember, if not for the golf!”

“Every hole’s a beauty! Absolutely outstanding golf course, beautifully presented. Heavy rain in prior days didn’t spoil it at all, green staff sponging the greens thru the morning to keep it. If I have to find a fault, it’s that the bunkers are a little lacking in decent sand... but honestly if you get a chance to play this course, do it.”

“Simply stunning, love this place. Course immaculate, greens perfect, bunkers tough. That's just the course, then you have happy staff, well dressed and very professional, fabulous food at very reasonable prices. Clubhouse fresh, smart and so clean. And to finish the members were very friendly. Play here and then tell me I'm not 100% right”
