What a gem this place is. The staff here are superb. We had a great time on our golf weekend. The course has variety that you will not see on most courses. The greens could do with some improvement however this overlooked by the rest of the experience with great staff, facilities and use of the pool, steam room and sauna etc. the restaurant and quality of food was a big highlight and would defo return.

It was okay. The room had no air con and no fan in the room and it was extremely hot. There was a wedding on that you kept needing to walk through to get to all the facilities. It was okay but not amazing. The golf course was very basic with only one par 5. No driving range or warm up facilities unless you used the one hitting bay on the small practise ground in the middle of the course. The putting and chipping areas were very small. The greens were very slow for this time of year. Also it says they have buggies when we got there the pro shop was closed and you had to dial a phone number if you wanted anything which was poor and also meant no one was keeping an eye on tee times. There were no buggies - they had one which was booked out for our whole stay which was very poor! The course was okay but again nothing amazing. Overall decent but I’d hope for a bit more in all honesty.

Hotel was pretty grand looking. It had seen better days, so wasn’t particularly modern but still nice and is obviously a bit a spa destination. It wasn’t busy due to the time of year, so we were well looked after and the dinners were really impressive. We’ve done several of these golf breaks and this was by far the best dinners we’ve had on offer. Really good quality food. The bar was quite small, but nice enough and plenty of nice outside space for the summer. Breakfast was definitely very ordinary tho so that was a bit of a shame! Facilities were great, you could use the pool, spa and gym. It was clean, roooms were a good size and really comfortable. And quiet too. They had a big function on, but that was kept completely separate from the guests so wasn’t an issue at all. Overall we were really impressed and although we usually like to go for different places each time, we definitely said we’d come back to this one.

Hotel was ok except the jacuzzi wasn’t working and they said they could fix it in 5 mins, half an hour later still not working so asked if we could use the one outside which was for spa guests and told no, it was 5.30 so there was no one in the spa. The bar prices were very expensive, and the food wasn’t great, ordered a bacon sandwich which was £5.50 and the bacon was rock hard, obviously left over from breakfast. Evening meal was no better, ordered fish cakes for starters and they were cold, the main was very average, not what you’d expect at a hotel restaurant and there was a long wait. Breakfast was ok except no coffee machine unless you paid for one and the hash browns were cold. The air con didn’t work in the room so it was very warm and stuffy

We played a few rounds in October and it had been pretty wet, but we were impressed with how good the greens still were. Tee boxes had taken a bit of a hit, and it’s low laying so fairways had a lot of water but that wasn’t too much of a problem. So it turns out that it used to be a 9 hole course which was turned into an 18, and that did show as the back 9 was fairly long and straight and most holes felt the same, so it did feel a bit of a slog just going up and down the same long par 4’s. But to be honest we enjoyed it. It wasn’t busy so when we inevitably strayed onto the next fairway, you could still play easily enough to your hole as the trees are still pretty small. Overall, as part time ‘golfers’ we enjoyed the course and how casual it was. If you’re looking for a golf challenge, then I wouldn’t recommend it, but if you want a few friendly rounds with friends, then I really would.

Overall the golf was good, the course was still a little damp in places, but that was just down to the recent rains. Some of the par 3’s were testing, and a couple of the par fours on the back nine were a bit samey.But we enjoyed both rounds and they were both about 4hrs, which considering the course was full wasn’t bad. The only thing which left a bit to be desired was the golf shop, which didn’t really have anything other than tees and ball markers for sale. Also we felt there should have been a bar for the golfers, as it seemed that the Brassiere was the only place to socialise, which seemed a little awkward with people sat in robes that were between treatments in the Spa and pool area. But we had a good time and shall hopefully return again in the not too distant future.

The course is fine - was very wet so we had to carry. Whilst the weather cant be helped communication re trolleys etc should have been better. The shop was not staffed which was frustrating. Course very short and as a result greens unfortunately scarred with pitch marks many if which are not repaired - whilst this isn't the clubs it has negatively affected the experience.

We deliberately chose what was hopefully a fairly straightforward course (slope rating was only 103 and 2 of our party were very occasional golfers)and weren't disappointed. The course was flat with generous fairways. The greens were in a decent condition, but seemed very slow compared to what I am used to. My only issue, and it's a minor one, was that there was not a single bench on the course. Temperatures were in the eighties and we had to let a couple of groups through, so somewhere to sit would have been nice.

This course looks small in terms of yardage but it is very deceptive as it requires good course management with many water, tree and bunker obstacles. The course is very cleverly designed and it took us 4 hours to get round and we all loved playing on it. It was well maintained, and in good condition. Its not very busy so we found the course very relaxing to play on. They have no buggies but it is relatively flat so most people will be able to walk it. we were a group of retired golfers and we all managed to go around on foot. We thought the golf package is exceptional value as it includes the great hotel, SPA and dinner and breakfast, a great location and ambience. We hope to be back. Thank you to all the staff.

Would suit veteran or high handicap men & women players. Enjoyed our game though. Green keepers were in action so always a good sign it's maintained well.

I didn't go as I had Covid, these are the comments from my friends who went: "Course 6/10. Just a little uninspiring - up and down a field. Bit of water hazards to spice things up a bit. If any of us were playing half decent we could get a low score. A fairly forgiving course, not too naughty, flat as a pancake. They could have designed it a bit better I suppose than 5x par 3's out of 7 holes in the middle, followed by 6x par 4's to finish, which were a bit samey."

Nice and simple, newish course. Greens aren’t great and are very small. Some tees way to close to greens and the doglegs are short and sharp. Starting times were very badly managed. Absolutely no control of the first tee, which when you have big hotel groups, can be a problem. Despite my confirming the tee time earlier in the week, on the day they had no clue about our booking. Needed to slot us into a busy first tee. Course is very basic, we enjoyed it, but it’s definitely nothing special.

A good course which we enjoyed over four rounds/days. Nine holes quite different to the other nine. Looks like they've added nine which are much more open, less interesting with only very young trees. Course in good condition. Greens were quite fast, but could have had more grass. Don't be fooled by all the par 3's, most are quite long and difficult. Our 12 players only hit about six in the four days. The Pro shop is very limited and every day we had to phone to get it open, however they came within a few minutes. THERE ARE NO BUGGIES! Despite asking Your Golf Travel to organise at least one buggy for two members of our group for medical reasons, neither YGT or the club came up with anything. YGT never even replied! Two buggies were at the course being used by ground staff and a Course Marshall. The only consolation being that it is an easy walk, not too long and flat. Excellent value and we had a great time.
