"There are so many people on here moaning about cancellations due to wind. This is totally out of the control of Virgin, even Branson can't buy the weather off!! Comment on the flight and the experience not the weather!! We had a few cancellations and were disappointed but the end result was super..."-special!!! The weather was perfect and worth waiting for, not a cloud in the sky to obscure our view and that was on Bank Holiday Monday (6th).

Sunday night we had to contact the flight line to see if it had been cancelled, alas no its still on but the take off site had been changed, still time to get cancelled. We arrived at the new take off site on time and was met by our Pilot Pete. Very nice chap, good sense of humor. The weather was overcast with quite a strong breeze, yes, i'm going to be safe, got to be cancelled. How wro...

"Good course and can be forgiving compared to others in the area. Very peaceful and scenic with a good driving range, excellent club house and a nice place to be. The food is simple but well prepared and inexpensive. I would recommend it as a venue to if possible for a party etc."
