It felt like it was in a time warp from about 1960s America. Food was average, accommodation was clean but quite basic. The hotel definitely felt like AP was there, a certain smell, how staff talked about him and how tight they were on little rules (collared shirts to eat, shirts tucked in around the course etc). The bar in the changing room was the star of the show- watch out for Max the Barman and the famous Palmer Waters- which is neat vodka with ice and a twist of lemon. Not for the faint hearted.

A great place to stay, anything to do with "The King" will ooze class and this place does.

Pretty good, but for the price disappointing that the rooms didn’t have a kettle or a safe. Fantastic ambience and a sense of history and golf greatness around the place. The good view room was good even though it cost us €50 for the upgrade even though the lodge was half empty. Also the clubhouse bar was shut so felt we missed out a bit on the experience, but a bucket list event nonetheless

Noise at the hotel kept us awake until the early hours. Complaints to reception staff was met with sympathy and apathy. Disappointing. The other staff in the hotel were fabulous especially in The Bay Window and at breakfast.

Amazing condition of the first few holes, a long par 4 and then a 230 par 3 (off the back tees). The famous water hole par 5 comes a bit later, sadly none of our group carried the water in one. I loved the history of the course and knowing Tiger, Rory and co had all won here. The Bear trap is brutal off the back tees, and 18 provided a nice touch of drama with the approach shot in, although most of us were playing on in 3 and not 2. A fine wedge shot but a very scary long iron!

A very lovely and enjoyable Golf Course which gives you an opportunity to score OK but pick the right tees to play from because that is important for your enjoyment.

Fantastic bucket list experience. Golf and the faculties in superb condition. We felt a bit ripped off by the cost of the caddie. We were expecting €40 each (plus tip) with a caddy each but we had one between 3 of us and got charged €60 per bag (€180 total), which considering that we were in buggies so no bags to carry seemed a bit expensive. Course in fabulous condition and great to follow in the footsteps of the modern greats

The championship course was amazing and in fabulous condition. It’s well manicured and tricky without being contrived. We felt privileged to pay it. Watch out for caddie charging (compulsory Oct - April) which can be established in the pro shop prior to the round. You might need cash for this and there’s no ATM on site.

The greens were getting hollowtined and were heavily sanded so were not at their best. The rest of the course was in excellent condition
