The closure of the club was announced in 2012. It was thought that the course would be reverted to farmland.
Part of the former course is now a reservoir, the rest is overgrown. (June 2014)
Review from 2005. “It always was a great (long) nine-hole course but the new owners have made significant improvements in their 6 months. Although the bunkers are GUR, until they have re-worked them over the winter, it does not detract from a superb course.
I was told that planning permission has been granted for a new clubhouse ( the drawings are up on the wall and look most impressive)and that building will start in November so the facilities that are a little lacking at the moment should be great for 2006.”
