  • 2.5 out of 5 Very very boring

    By Roamin

    This was one of 7 courses we played on our tour along the south coast when we were in England a number of months ago. The only positive thing I can say is the start marshal was very friendly. For the rest it is memorable for being the most boring course I've ever played. The following day we couldn't remember a single hole ... and we had plenty of time to look at it. We played behind one of their competitions ... FIVE HOURS FOURTY MINUTES LONG ... and it wasn't a geriatric competition either :) :) .. A very flat course, very little difficulty factor. The only difficulty was staying awake between shots. Definitely not a course I could recommend.

    I've organised society weekend's here for the past 4 years and we never tire of returning. With 27 top qulity holes set in a beuatiful setting its a great place to play. Add to that a fatastic set of accomodation options - the swiss lodges are stunning, and brilliant value - and wonderful helpful staff and you can't go wrong. Back on the course the Lakeland/Parkland 18 is full of variety and challenge whilst the slightly shorter Woodland 9 (a real 9 not a par 3) is like a mini-Augusta with its masses of Rhodededruns.
