Grims Dyke is a pleasant and enjoyable round of golf can be had at this course, the tees and fairways were in great condition for October, the fairways in particular have wonderfully undulations on them which make you think about where to place your tee or approach shot. Then we come to the greens, if you think you have a straight putt on a green then have another look, everything rolls down the slopes. We could not believe the breaks some putts made and how fast the downhill putts were.
The course starts with quite a tough par 3, you have to be straight off the tee and carry to the green otherwise you are in trouble with bunkers all around the front and two large trees left and right of the green. Then comes a short par 4 that you have to stay left on and a short par 3 with trouble again around the front.
The 4th gives you a great downhill approach shot from the middle the fairway then comes good birdie opportunities at the 5th & 6th, providing you don't leave yourself downhill putts that is. The approach shot to the 7th is blind as it is uphill and you need to make sure you take enough club then it's onto the par 5's for more birdie chances.
The back nines fairways seemed flatter than the fronts and not as interesting apart from the 12th. There is a new ditch in play on the 14th that may catch those trying for the green in one, which is what some people may try at the 18th but a bunker and the raised green does a good job of stopping most attempts.
We normally take a few more photos on our way round the reviews but we were enjoying the golf so much we kept forgetting, which sums up our feelings about the course really, in great condition and a joy to play, just make sure you are putting well.
