I really enjoyed this golf course, it was really interesting. Never a flat fairway or green, which made it a really beautiful course to look at and play. Still a difficult course, but definitely more playable than Royal St George’s. Good shots got rewarded and bad shots got punished. I marked the course condition down a bit because the greens had been cored and dressed. Understandable at this point of the year and I’m sure it will be in top condition in the spring and summer. Really enjoyed my round here and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
