Lime trees is a good little nine hole course that has another set of tees for variation on the back nine, the course was going to be redeveloped soon so this may become out of date quite quickly.
The course looks as though it can get quite wet, the greens were very soft when we played it but still playable, some of the fairways had not been cut and we had to play off mats. All this is quite understandable during the winter months and I'm sure the course looks great during the summer.
They said the course was going to change quite a bit, well I hope they don't change all of the holes because, apart from the 1st, there are some well designed holes on this course.
The 2nd is a good dogleg hole with a raised green at the end, the 4th is a mid-long iron par 3 over a pond where you just can't afford to be short, if your not in the pond you will be in the bunker. The tee shot from the 5th has a great view down the fairway and the 6th is a decision making par 5.
I liked the 6th because it is full of choices, do you take a driver off the tee, bringing the ditch into play or go for the safe option and lay up short. Do you then go for the green if you think you can reach and risk a wayward shot into the pond on the right, even if you decide to lay up that pond is going to be on your mind. Don't overshoot the green as you will run out of golf course and anything coming up short may just end up in the bunker.
Some nine hole courses end up just being practice rounds for most golfers but I think you could get more than just a practice out of this course.
