The course is a challenging heathland/woodland combination made up of 10 holes which were opened between 1976 and 1984, and 8 which have been in existence since 1903 and possibly earlier - albeit with modifications made by James Braid in the 1930s and by Bill Cox in the early 1980s.

The length of the Course at 6435 yards, coupled with its overall difficulty, make its Par and Standard Scratch Score of 71 hard to achieve except for the very best of players. The Course Record is 64, a magnificent score achieved by current member Ed Fairbrother, in 2004. To see Ed's card click here.
