Founded by brothers Neil and Peter Sjoberg, our family-run venue combines tradition with a modern approach to golf. The course opened in stages, with the first 9 holes operational in 1995, followed by gradual development of additional features including 17,000 trees and 10 water features. Designed by golfers for golfers, we prioritise accessibility and enjoyment for players of all abilities through varied tee positions, exceptional greens, and short game facilities.Our covered range, chipping and bunker greens, and par 3 course cater to comprehensive practice needs. The clubhouse offers daily home-cooked meals and a function room for hire, while free beginner lessons and a relaxed atmosphere reflect our commitment to welcoming all visitors. With no strict dress code or formalities, we aim to provide quality golf without excessive costs, ensuring a warm reception for every guest.
