Together with 35 of our party of golfers we had an overnight stay at the De Vere on the Sunday/ Monday 13/14/ August and I know the vast majority enjoyed our stay at the hotel. A little hiccup was on Sundays there is only a help yourself buffet and it was fine overall. The accommodation was very good and the price we paid for the accommodation and 2 games of golf was exceptionally competitive. The staff and organisation and professionalism was first class Our bacon butties on our arrival came bang on time which was pretty good as there were 36 of us. Booking on was easy. The location was great and took about 2hrs to get there from Cardiff/Penarth.

Front of house staff were so embarrassed. 7 twin rooms we booked and out of that one was set up as a double, one shower didn’t work at all and was never fixed through out the 3 night stay and 2 rooms toilets didn’t flush!! One room was swapped on the last night and the other was never fixed and no communication from hotel about after complaint raised on the first evening of the stay! Shocking bar management, shocking admin staff for the hotel. Restaurant supervisor Jamie was an absolute star all weekend and Sam behind the bar was a legend too as we’re most front of house staff.

The accommodation was clean and well appointed. There were several places on site to eat. The best being the View Restaurant. As part of the package it would have been good to have the option to choose which to eat in. The pool, gym and sauna was of a high standard, but requires lockers to make it easy to store items. The outdoor areas were nice places to relax and were spaced around the hotel. It would benefit the customer if wrist bands were supplied to identify that you were a golf package guest and subject to 20% off drinks. This would mean that we wouldn't have to explain this to the staff each time a drink was purchased.

On a two night stay for most of us, especially given the single supplement most of us paid, we expected that our rooms would be serviced after the first night, but no. We returned to our rooms with unmade beds, wet towels, no replenishment of coffee, tea, etc., It was well into the evening of day two that anything was done, and that after numerous complaints. Breakfast was, for the early bird, excellent BUT after some two plus hours under a hot lamp those down later for breakfast were rewarded with cremated bacon, hard baked fried eggs, etc.etc., The main lobby had water filling stations BUT again these seem to be refilled once a day, but when? The evening meal was a buffet delight, NOT. If you arrive late, we had no option due to tee off times, you might be lucky and get some food selection was either sea bass or beef brisket, but no beef! If you don’t like mashed potato then hard luck! Then there was the 20% discount on any purchases. Why was this not advised to us before arriving or signing in? Why did we have to keep repeating the fact we were there as a society playing golf? This was our 16th weekend away and having really looked forward to this event we were all bitterly disappointed; never had to complain before. Finally, £4 for chunky chips? In my tiny basket there were 16 chips! That’s 30p a chip, or six bob in real money, REALLY? I suggest the hotel owners make a visit, unannounced, go to breakfast say at 9:30 and experience it. The in the evening experience the ‘buffet’ meal.

Unfortunately we were staying in Wokefield Place, the 'conference centre' and golf society accommodation rather than the Mansion House. WP was suffering from a severe shortage of staff due to a lot of them contracting Covid at Reading festival. This meant we had long queues at the bar, had to get out own drinks from the bar when in the restaurant and they struggled to open both restaurant areas for breakfast even though there were too many people for the View restaurant upstairs. The staff who were there did their best, especially Chloe the waitress in the Pantry restaurant on Saturday evening. The rooms were clean and the housekeeping staff were helpful. Bathrooms were a bit small. If you are looking for something cosy, WP is not the place to go. It has plenty of 'breakout areas' and it's very light and airy with a vaulted 'Avenue' down the middle but I thought it was reminiscent of an airport lounge.

Our trip was originally postponed in December due to course closure and we rescheduled for mid March, the course was open but still extremely wet underfoot with no buggies allowed. Unfortunately, due to the wet weather, the machinery couldn’t access the course to cut the fairways or rake the bunkers, hence the overall lower ratings. The course could be fantastic, it has some excellent holes with plenty of water and hazards and we are looking forward to returning in the summer when the weather improves and I’m sure the course will be in good condition.

The weather was wonderful, the fairways rather long and some bunker maniac has been let loose when designing the course. The semi rough was a bit too long, as we had difficulties in finding our balls otherwise the course was a fun to play and challenging.

Tough course for a high handicap golfer, for the group I was with it was a perfect mixture of challenging holes and a few short ones. Fairways very generous but a lot of trouble if you wasn’t in the right spot. I thought the rough was thick and you was punished for not being on the fairway. Green were very quick and in great condition. A massive thanks goes to Chas for finding a perfect course for the information/requirements I provided and asked for. Will happily book through your golf travel again.

We were a party of 36 and the vast majority of us thoroughly enjoyed the course which was quite challenging. If you get 36 pts playing stableford you’ll be in the mix for prizes. Every hole was different and the 14th stroke index 1 is a proper stroke index 1 and not many of us parred that on the first day. The course is reasonably flat and not too hilly. The greens were very quick and great fun trying to work out a line. The only criticism is it took between 4.5 to 5 hrs to complete. If you’re a big party make sure the low handicappers go first a lesson we learned too late! The half way house is brilliant but not exactly cheap but hey ho you’re away enjoy yourself.

Not sure the golf course should have open. Very wet everywhere, probably could have claimed casual water on every hole because it was so wet. I think there needs to be a lot of land drains installed to try and clear the surface water off the fairways. Not sure if spring program has been carried out, but the greens need treatment to clear the moss. Would like to play again when dry.

It was three rounds of high temperatures. Tees were as expected as were greens. The course is well sign posted and flows well, however, the penalty area, between the fourth and fifth fairways, could be better ‘signposted’; a white line and some white posts would help. The fairways were brown and on the whole very hard on the feet. First time I’ve experienced blisters playing golf. They certainly need watering. There is a half way house but on days one and two it was closed as we passed it! Water replenishment on day three was unavailable. The only alternative is then go into the bar

The golf course has a nice variety of holes, but plays very hard for the most part. Quite punishing off the tee, fairway bunkers and other hazards in tricky spots to catch tee shots that are not perfect. The fairways and rough were quite decent condition, although a bit dry. The tee boxes for the most part were ok, besides the first which had a lot of weeds mixed in with the grass. Bunkers were not great, mostly filled with some kind of builder's sand, and lots of stones. Be careful when playing out of them, check for any big hidden stones under the sand. The greens sadly were very, very bad. Not watered enough, they were very dry and difficult to get the ball to stop on. Nearly every green covered in unrepaired pitchmarks which made putting very unpredictable, balls were bouncing all over. If you managed to avoid them, they did run quite smoothly however, so potential is there for them to be very nice. The golf was sadly the most disappointing part of the trip

The course is billed as being a championship one. I can imagine that it might have been designed as a championship course but it certainly isn't maintained as one. Some of the greens were in terrible condition and it was impossible to tell where the fairway ended and first cut of rough started. It is a long course and because it is played by a lot of societies at the weekend it was a 5hr + round. It's also quite a long course, on the second day we all had buggies. However, it was an interesting course to play despite the greens. In addition the bunkers were well filled with sand making them a delight to get out of. Would I bother to play it again? Perhaps, if accommodation was in the Mansion.
