A lovely old building, still being renovated so we couldnt go inside. We walked around the grounds. Its very near to where my daughter lives so we see a difference each time we visit.

Visited here as a group on deal, the deal was 18 holes for the price of 9 but when we arrived it said during the off season you could pay for 9 holes and go round as much as you liked, so in reality the group on saved us nothing. Anyway, the course was quite waterlogged, one of the clubs... More

In my opinion the photos present that place better and more attractive but it is not. It is a nice walk in the garden to spend time instead of drinking coffee!!!

Pretty good, but it is currently closed until this summer. It is currently undergoing a restoration. It's a walking distance from the beach and King's Garden.

The sheer history of it all - Heritage is the word, it belongs to all of us. Building work at present, a Kier contractor said we are securing it for another 100 years - fantastic
