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.

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.

Flat course with few hazards except the ones by the lakes, which were very picturesque and challenging. No facilities on the course but the spar is very near which has everything you might need.

A nice, pleasant course without being too difficult. A lot of the greens were similar in being round and flat. However some lovely holes over water, especially a couple of lovely par 3s. A couple of tight holes too.

This is the first course of I've played where the slope rating takes shots off your WHS index. The course was new and easy and not challenging enough for us as 7 and 12 handicappers. 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. Nice pretty par 3 on the front 9 but watch out for the out of bounds markers.

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."

Really enjoyable, greens ran fast but probably time of year (November 2021) was informed that trolleys were not allowed to be used for this time of year, disappointed to see when we got there this was not the case - so had to carry for 3 rounds on consecutive days. But overall great course and great condition! Take additional balls for hole 6 and 9, they are big lakes! Would definitely return.

Very flat course. Quite short. Took 3 hrs. Few more challenging holes over first 9 holes. Reflected in handicap index. Not many on course, so no hold ups. Nobody in Pro shop to give score card or guidance had to go to spa reception. Thought this needs addressing as not very welcoming.

A nice easy walking course for our society who are mostly 60 plus in age. Some of the green were suffering from disease and the tees were a bit tatty but overall the course was good value for money. I would question the yardages on the tee boxes. Some were way out. There is no way that the 7th is 230 yards!!

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.

Golf course is in decent condition, greens are pretty nice, there are a couple of nice par 3’s hitting over a lake but apart from them pretty straight forward. There is a little shop that just sold tee’s and gloves but didn't have any drinks which was annoying and on our second day nobody was there at all.

Really enjoyed the course. Shortish (par 67) but plenty of variety: trees, water etc. The greens had recently been treated so not yet at their best, so difficult to give more stars but I imagine they are usually pretty good. Not all the party were regular golfers so it was just right for our golf break: accessible for higher handicaps and a variety of challenges for lower handicaps. Will happily book another golf break there in the future.

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.

Although the course is still relatively new there are some beautiful holes. Especially the Par threes. Once the trees have established this will define the fairways and gradually make the course more difficult. The greens are small targets so you need to be accurate!

This is a nice golf course for the average player with some very pretty holes. We particularly enjoyed the challenge of the par 3 over the water. The back nine is still very new and is a little repetitive. Some improvements would include more prominent direction signs from green to tee, a pro shop open all day and more information signage on the red tees.
