We were very disappointed to find that there were no tokens for the driving range, no buggy available for the third person in our booking, the toilets on the course were out of service and only one player had been booked on their computer system instead of 3 as per the voucher. This meant that another 2 players had the same tee time as us at 11 .51 . The round was therefore extremely slow as there were obviously too many people trying to play. No apologies or explanations from the staff - unfortunately a very disappointing day.

Excellent all round. We arrived on the last minute but the lady on the golf reception dealt with us promptly so we could get out on time.
The course is much improved from our previous visits with some tough holes - particularly the 18th.
Nice after round snack and drinks at reasonable prices.

Excellent golf course! Really good value. Very well kept fairways and greens. Tight course with small greens providing a good challenge. We played with a mixed group of beginners and experienced golfers and everyone really enjoyed it! Phenomenal value !!

Alto is a really tricky layout, small greens and you need to work the ball both ways off the tees. It plays tough and was the only course we played in 5 days where we received more shots than our handicaps. The service was good and welcoming.
The course was in good condition only let down by the fairways needing a bit of a cut and the greens had suffered with some disease which had been infilled with sand and we suffered a few unjust bobbles. We will be back.

We arrived at the course 45 minutes before our tee off, this should have been plenty of time to get prepared for our round. However, despite arriving early it took 30 minutes of those 45 to collect our buggies as staff were unsure if we could have them as other players had medical certificates.
The course was lovely and considering the recent wet weather it played well with some difficult tee positions.
It was nice to watch the last of our group from the club house bar. Very nice course and will play again next time.
