Half boring, half beautiful and demanding.
Reviewed September 17, 2023
The first 9 holes are flat, totally boring and almost without challenge. only no. 6 and 8 stand out a bit. with really only a very narrow 3*.
From no. At 10 the whole thing changes, the course becomes a more demanding undulating/hilly links course. medium 4* range.
Of course, the club members have also noticed this for a long time and simply squeeze into the field at the 10th hole. The consequences: the playing time of the second 9 holes stretches enormously... an eternal wait.
fairways: just about acceptable. greens: the first 9 mostly flat and banal, the second 9 much more demanding, relatively good condition, fast. bunker: deep, good sand. Railway labels: minimal - at times you have to struggle to find your way around.
Unfortunately you cannot book 9 holes with the condition that you can start on the 10th. For me, the place is no longer an option. I don't bother with the boringness of the first 9 anymore.
green fee £60.

Not a real links course
Reviewed September 3, 2022
The golf club is on the outskirts of the city and partly incorporates this into the layout of the fairways. A cozy clubhouse and very friendly ladies in the pro shop! Everything very easy and friendly. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I was only able to play the first 9 holes on August 22nd, 2022, which was definitely a mistake. The holes are all inland and overall not that spectacular. There is no real links golf feeling here, although the overall condition of the course is good.

Dream in the dunes
Reviewed August 6, 2013
The course is divided into two parts, the first nine are easily Parkland breathed but to import for the 2nd Nine perfect and the place is great. The fairways are located on a peninsula surrounded by sand dunes, which very often can only marks (high iron rods) a glimpse of the way between the tee, dunes and greens, this calls for a lot of balls. Since the wind can also come to the one between the dunes but does not realize, however, because after the ball hit always drift it is sometimes frustrating.
In the clubhouse we were after we heard the German immediately pre Vice President inundated with brochures and invited to a paint of Beer
Course and club house very nice and recommendable
