Although close to the sea, we have been described as a 'parkland' course rather than a 'links' course.
The fairways are flat or undulating and most greens are accommodating for approach shots, but there are a few where accuracy is essential.
Bunkers are numerous, but there are no water hazards.
We pride ourselves on being a Championship Course with our superb fast greens.
Fairway watering means we can offer lush fairways.
Detailed comments and photos on a hole by hole basis are available for viewing.
