"Played course in June 22. Sceptical having read some of the reviews but found the course to be in excellent condition and a joy to play and in great condition. Yes there are lots of bunkers but there is also oceans of fairway to allow you to navigate your way round. True, at times the views from the course are not the best but the quality of the course makes up for that, a golfers course. Also worth mentioning the friendliest and most helpful staff I’ve come across in my travels." - Paul R

"Enjoyable - walkable - surprised at lack of availability of electric trolleys"

"Fairly open layout. Greens were very good. Made welcome by course management with good hints on how to tackle the layout. The last 3 holes are a good challenge. Fairly easy walking although the 16th is a bit of a climb." - Trevor

"Never played such bad greens. We had been warned they had been hollow tined a couple of weeks prior, but they were frankly unplayable - I think the course should be closed whilst they fully recover. Damn shame, as this is otherwise a great track."

"Not enough buggies" - Golfer A

"Reasonable flat and wide fairways heavily bunkered, with slick greens." - Consett senior

"Typical excellent Faldo design The more you play the more you understand what to do and what not to do"

"We walked with trolleys as all buggies were booked out. It was a long walk! The course was in really good condition but it is a tough track and, as with many Faldo layouts, littered with bunkers so it was not a fun experience, more a test! A good layout apart from the finish with a crazy design at 16 (not sure how ladies are meant to play this hole with an 80 yard carry before the green) followed by two long testing par 4s just when you are exhausted. Not unexpected from Faldo!" - The goddess of golf

"Excellent course with magnificent views on several holes" - The Happy Hacker

"Stylish course, Great restaurant. You can even park in the underground garage as a guest." - Charles from Germany
