Ours is a very friendly club, and visitors are warmly welcomed – if you haven't visited us before, why not come along and experience this absolute gem of a course ? Don't forget to bring your camera.

Dress Etiquette
In line with common practice, denim jeans are not to be worn when either playing the course or enjoying the facilities of the Clubhouse.
Facilities
There is a large, tarmacked parking area, with security lighting, and an overflow car park, both adjacent to the Clubhouse. We have a practice putting green, and a practice net, again both close by.
The Clubhouse itself contains a large Lounge, with tables and comfortable seating, a fully stocked bar (spirits, soft drinks and draught beer, nibbles etc) and a flat screen TV, with Sky. Naturally, there are public conveniences too.
Outside there is a large patio and BBQ area, along with separate seating areas.
The Clubhouse is manned by volunteer members, and is usually open on Wednesday afternoons (after the ladies have finished their round of play), and in the evening for the Quiz Night (winter)at about 8pm, and in summer after the Social rounds.
On Sundays, the Clubhouse is usually open after the Mens fixtures, throughout the year.
Additionally, the Clubhouse will normally be open for Competitions and Special Events, including any Private Hire requirements.
