The Grove was built to USPGA specification and is playable year round. It features the latest A4 creeping bent grass for firm, fast putting surfaces and is always presented to the highest possible level.

The fairways are wide and welcoming but you need to plan ahead for your approaches as the greens are large and undulating and there are plenty of hazards to avoid. This is good golf with a few birdies on offer for the clever player.

Following the slopes, ridges and mounds of the gorgeous landscape, the course is easy to walk and very easy on the eye – particularly the back nine. Take the challenge on from the back and you’ll deserve a pint or two, play off the forward tees and it’s a nice game for even the novice player.
