The facilities here are quite good for a 9 hole course, there is a range with a separate chipping area & the clubhouse is quite nice too. The course has a couple of sub 300 yard par 4's but part from that it's alright in length. The greens here run smoothly but are quite small so will test your approach shots, one thing we did notice though was that there were no signs for hole numbers making it difficult to see where the next hole is if you have not played here before.
You start with a pretty straight forward 1st hole and the pond that is on the right of this hole does not really come into play. The second gives you a nice short iron tee shot to the small green with no bunkers around it so a par or better should be the score here. The 3rd needs a carefully placed drive if you are long enough to reach the pond & the tree on the left kind of makes you aim at the pond.
The 4th's approach shot is slightly uphill so make sure you take enough club to reach the green and the 5th's drive could see you reach the ditch so take the right club from the tee. The 6th is probably the best on the course with a few options and the 7th is a decent length par 3 that will test your accuracy with it's small green.
The 8th holes bunkers are well placed to catch any stray drives and the ditch before the green could easily catch any approach that comes up short. The last hole is a nice par 5 that has two trees perfectly positioned to get in the way of your second shot's line of sight to the green, making you play this hole as a par 5 unless you can conjure up a great approach.
Overall this course is more than a match for your average golfer and not just a pitch & putt course.
