There is no bar on site but there are a number of local hostelries in the area where you can either celebrate a win or alternatively wonder where it all went wrong.

Dogs are more than welcome but must be kept on a lead at all times.

Kids entertainment is provided typically in the form of a bouncy castle or a similar attraction depending on the weather.
There is no ATM at the course.
