The Club

Facilities. To complement the 18-hole golf course the Club has a modern clubhouse with full bar and catering facilities. The bar and restaurant are open daily except on Mondays. A wide range of hot and cold food is generally available throughout the day except during the winter period when a more restricted facility is on offer. Sample menus are available from the catering manageress. In addition, the club house boasts a well-stocked shop which has a wide range of golf equipment and leisurewear.

The Course.  The golf course has evolved over 100 years and its natural contours and the absence of bunkers give it a special character which is seldom repeated elsewhere. The initial impression may be that the course is “wide-open” but after a few holes it is evident that the “St Andrews” factor applies and that positional play is very important. The numerous humps and hollows around the greens test the golfer’s ability to play a variety of shots - often in difficult conditions. Recent course modifications have been carried out in concert with the National Trust (who are responsible for the commons) with the primary aim of making the course safer to the general public and in particular, some greens close to the main roads have been relocated. details of course and card can be seen by clicking on the “Golf Course” menu item.

Fees - Casual and Society. The Club welcomes vistors, either for a casual game, or as members of a society. Green fees for visitors (playing without a member) are £18 per day during the week and £22 per day at weekends and Bank Holidays (there are discounts if playing with a member). The rate for Juniors (under 18) is £5 per day during the week and £6 per day at weekends. A booking sheet is held for golf on Saturdays. Tee-times are available to visitors from 9.30 am. Societies are most welcome on weekdays, although reservations should be made as far in advance of the proposed date as possible. Most society packages are individually tailored to the customer’s requirements and are very competitive in price. Food can also be arranged to meet specific dietary requirements.
