The course was developed in 1973, through farmland which had been planted for forestation. This produced a heavily wooded mature parkland course which crosses water seven times in nine holes. Each fairway is individually tree lined and there is the minimum distance between greens and tee boxes. The layout gives you the impression that no one else is on the course. The feature hole is the par three second which crosses the River Agivey twice and has a 170 yard carry.

The Clubhouse is the Brown Trout Golf & Country Inn, which is a three star hotel with four five star cottages overlooking the golf course. This is a family run property and has been for over 100 years.
