Classic English parkland GC. The terrain is slightly undulating to flat and the paths are lined with old pine trees. fairways good, greens quite ok, very big and fast. About 30% has nice undulations, the rest is flat, partly as a whole green in a slight slant.
The only challenge on this course are the many large, deep and well-placed sand bunkers. However, the sand is pretty bad, so the bunker game is very difficult or almost impossible.
You can play around the few small water hazards (small streams) because they are clearly visible.
There is no track description at all.
But it's also relatively unimportant, as a £175 green fee (weekdays) is supposed to prevent non-residents from visiting. The green fee is simply excessive for the golfing experience on offer.
