"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

"Generous fairways, very fast greens, nice layout other than 17th - large area to play second shot over."

"Bunkers were out of play due to bad weather. There was a group of 52 ahead who slowed the course up. We waited on every shot. My partners left on the 16th as it was too late. I played the last 2 holes in the dark. The round took nearly 6 hours."
