The 1st is quite a challenging hole as the distance is hard to judge because of the height difference from tee to green. Then comes the wonderful view from the 3rd tee, just don't hit any passing cars on that road.
The 5th deserves a mention, being so short you could be forgiven to thinking you have a great chance for a birdie here. Well you would probably be quite happy getting off that green with a par. The tee shot is not for the faint hearted & the green is anything but flat.
The next hole to stand out is the 12th, the tee shot is blind and with over 200 yards to the green you need to be accurate as it is well protected by bunkers, hit the green here & you will be quite pleased with yourself.
The closing holes are alright and the 15th deserves a mention, it's time to play back across that valley & road but this time you have to hit the green of the par 3 instead of a fairway, a very tough tee shot.
They have had a Lottery Sports Grant since we last visited and have improved the course quite a bit. The course has connections with the Golf Foundation and is heavily invovled in the development of Junior Golf including a Golf Acadamy where you can work on all aspects of your short game, you can even warm up on the Par 3 'Little Ricky' course.
Overall some very nice holes and scenery but the 18 holes are an energy sapping walk.
