I would advise you to buy a course planner as there are some hidden bunkers and a fair bit of water.

We got talking to a greenkeeper on the course who told us they are hoping to stage a Euro Pro event in the very near future so that gives you some idea how good it is.

All in all this is prob the 2nd best parkland course i've ever played, only the Brabazon at the Belfry is better.

Hope you enjoy it, let me know what you think of it.
Cheers for the info.

Really looking forward to it! Even more so now!

14 putts between four of you?! Which green? I'll remember that one! I'll have one putt and the other three can split the rest!

Huge greens will be a nice change. My course has tiny greens but is really long. Looking forward to playing on a well manicured track too. Too much clumpy stuff and shoddy greens at the moment where I am.
