    The greens were pole-forked a week or so ago so they aren't the best at the moment. It's also quite soggy up there but hopefully a bit of warm weather over the next couple of days will help.

    The two courses are very different. I really like the new one, though most seem to prefer the old one. The greens on the new one (when in good shape) are crazy though - lots of upturned bowls and multiple levels make putting in the summer very difficult as they're so fast. Both courses have some really great holes - the 17th on the old being probably my favourite hole from both courses. I've never managed to hit a decent drive down it though!! Lovely courses and if the weather is good you'll definitely enjoy it.

    Both very good courses. My favourite is the newer of the 2, the West, its really superb.
    You'll enjoy whichever one you play.

    The West is the hilly track and a lot more fun for it (views, inspiring shots, variety). Greens are tough but beautiful on both courses and three putting is hard to avoid. I'm not a fan of the East course: good start, good finish, a bit bland in the middle.

    Two very nice courses.
    If it were me to choose it would have to be the old course everytime. It has a really nice feel to it and the 16th, 17th & 18th are great holes to close out a round with.

    Just back from the course. End up playing the east course. I have to say superb course, defintely very challenge at the begining and end. the 16th hole was closed, it looks super. Loved the 3rd,8th,12th,14th,17th and 18th.
    Greens were pole forked for sure and it was quite wet so it took some time b4 the greens sped up!!
    But overall super course!
