The minimum is 10 players, and groups of more than 25 get 5% off the final bill. Golf is £36 a person for 18 holes; food, extra holes and buggies are priced line by line, so the total depends on what your group chooses. Call 01409 253177 (option 1) to arrange.

Yes. Add any of these to your day, per person: coffee and a bacon or sausage bap (£6), a full English (£10), a light lunch (£10), a one-course meal (£12; a two-meat carvery for groups of more than 25) and dessert (£6).
