The 18-hole Par 67 is forgiving enough for newer players to enjoy without feeling overwhelmed, but it still demands smart course management to score well.

It's perfect if you're looking for a good walk and some golf without committing your entire day. The Pitch & Putt is even quicker, taking about an hour.

We always recommend aiming for late spring through early autumn-May to September-when the English weather is at its most cooperative and the course is in peak condition.

Don't let the Par 67 fool you-it's not just a collection of short holes; it's cleverly designed with some tricky par-3s and reachable par-4s that demand precision. You'll find yourself needing to shape shots and think strategically, especially around the water features that come into play on a few holes. It's a course that rewards smart play over brute force.
