Lovely Course, Gorgeous Location

I can't say that everyone is going to be lucky enough to get the same weather I had today, calm and sunny, but this is still worth a trip no matter the weather. There are 7 par 3's and only one par 5 in amongst the twelve holes, but there are some very pretty holes in there, especially at the far at end of the course.

There are three blind par 3's where you're just aiming at a pole at the top of a grassy mound, which are probably the most intimidating holes. Depending on the number of tourists walking along the LH side of the 1st fairway, that can also get a bit hairy.

The fairways and tees were mostly in a great condition, although the greens had just been treated so I probably didn't see those at their best. I'd certainly play there again, although £26 for 12 holes on a short course is bordering on expensive.
