The Course Colt & Braid Design

The course regularly hosts national and regional championships and qualifiers, including The Open Championship Qualifying Series. Designed by world-renowned golf course architects Harry Shapland Colt and James Braid it offers the very best in British heritage course design.

Always wonderfully presented with its firm, fast greens and strategic bunkering, we describe the course as a classic challenge requiring tactical play to succeed but enjoyable for players of all standards.
