Had a smashing time

The course in genral is tight but forgiving. we have been playing over the winter where thay have been installing a draining system as the course can get a bit boggy in the rain.There have been several temp greens over the winter but this week end only the 17th was temp.We can't wait till the sprinng as we feel the course will come to life.

Recently played the course and enjoyed both occasions. Its not a long track and the fairways are quite generous, and the rough (of which I now have an intimate knowledge!)was not so punishing that you couldn't get out, or lost your ball. Although the greens were rather hard and unreceptive they were very good to put on - moderate speed, but they played very true. On the down side - some of the fairways (especially 1,2 & 18) were seriously lacking in grass. I think this has something to do with the large number of mature trees that line the fairways competing for water, and with a few more weeks of reasonable weather they could start to look very threadbare. My second shot on 1st, from the centre of the fairway was effectively playing of soil! The course was nicely thought out with plenty of challenges although I didn't register any of the holes as memorable - they all seemed very similar. Its important to remember that a weekday round is £15 and for that I have no problem in recommending PW as very good value for money - just don't expect something manicured, practise playing off tight lies, and you'll have an enjoyable round of golf!-
