10/10 course
We arrived late because of car trouble and they were so nice about it and we got to play, staff were amazing on the grounds and the president even gave us a low down of the course and gave us loads of advise. Will definitely be back soon, course was unreal and some amazing par 4’s and par 5’s and par 3’s were class.
Fantastic course for all levels
Played here in a group of four with very different levels. Thoroughly enjoyable for everyone. Challenges throughout the course, but nothing a beginner would not enjoy. Would highly recommend.
Unique course
This is a family owned course with a long tradition of personally caring for their golfers. The course layout is nicely done with classic links style greens and very challenging approaches particularly the elevated greens and blind tee shots. The biggest challenge in playing this course is the rough which can hide your ball as it is very deep. So you must try and find the fairways. The white tee boxes are the most difficult as you must clear the formidable hazards with the fairway being blind to you for the potential landing area past the hazards. Playing from the yellow tees is much easier as you can see the fairways on most tee shots. The back nine is harder to play but the visual layout is great. The most difficult hole is the par 5 number 16 which curves around a hill right to left where your tee shot is blinded. There is then a valley followed by the elevated green with a marked back to front slope making it hard to hold the green because of the slopes front. If you hit above the hole or beyond in the rough, the put or chip back to the hole is a real headache. If your ball has the slightest of too much speed then you off the green and down the hill. This hole is locally called The Heart Break Hole! All is all, this is a very nice place to play and the hospitality personally by the owners is great.
Course was in excellent condition considering the recent weather and provides a proper challenge. Staff were great to deal with and very accommodating. Look forward to visiting again.
Great challenging course with a mixture of difficult holes. Fantastic and informative staff, I was given a detailed breakdown of each hole by the owner. Highly recommended.
Lovely course & very welcoming
2nd time to play here, really enjoyed the course plus the staff are very welcoming and friendly.
Great course, well worth it
Will definitely be playing there again.. Well worth the trip
Mount Temple
Challenging well kept course.
Very tight fairways.
Nice course
Worth around some nice par 3's ,was disappointed with the greens especially at this time of year ,we were a three ball and all thought the same with the greens.
This course starts with two easy holes to get you started.
Course was challenging but fair. Staff very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back.
Good condition but something was missing to make me want to play here again
Positive:
Lovely condition of greens. Rough was thick and punished you if you're out of position, so it kept you concentrating on course management.
Negative:
The clubhouse wasn't open for our 8.30 pre-booked tee time. So we had no scorecard or course layout.
There was a lack of sign posts on the course to the next tee, and the holes required backtracking to move to the next tee.
Maybe 4-5 holes along the back 9 felt very repetitive. Up and down, up and down with nothing special about them.
Overall:
Its a nice course, but I probably wouldn't come back in a hurry as there's better local courses to me.
Great course
Nice layout, good, challanging cours for using woods. Will return to play again. Club House outdated, small.
