The only low mark on this review is regarding the staff. First of all, I must stress they were all very friendly and approachable. We did have issues with service. We often had to repeat requests. For example, we asked to order food. We were told to wait at our table and someone would come to take our order. We had to repeat this request 20 minutes later. The bar area was not even busy. This happened a few times. It was the 40th birthday of one of our party. A family member had arranged for wine and chocolates. It was only by a conversation with that family member that we realised there should be a box of chocolates. The person had to embarrassingly ask reception for the chocolates. He was told they would be presented at dinner. He again had to ask for the chocolates 90 minutes after dinner. When paying for dinner we had to point out we were overcharged. This took more explaining than it should have. It was a clear, simple error. That same member of staff insisted we had not paid for our last round of drinks, when in fact we paid at the time we received them. This again led to a point of contention that we had to resolve. The staff finally acknowledged their mistake but did not apologise. So, nice place, staff are generally very friendly, but service was poor. Even though it was not busy.

The hotel was as always pleasant to stay in, well staffed, the staff were pleasant and helpful, and the food was good, if fairly basic - there was a reasonable variety to choose from. The only problem we had was a lack of communication between YourGolfTravel and the hotel, of who was in the party, and that there should have been twin rather than double rooms, to accommodate all male travellers sharing. Most disappointing as I'd spelt out these details to YourGolfTravel the day before, at their request.

There was a problem with bar food with wrong items being brought out and many things off the menu, which the kitchen needed to let the bar staff know about. So you really want to know immediately if something was not available, rather than 30 minutes after you had ordered! Some of the party were trying to eat before getting away on the Sunday and had to wait 1 hour for food. The bar staff were really good about it, but you just had a feeling that there was a problem in the kitchen and this needed to be communicated to the bar staff.

A golf break for four (2 non golfers) A bargain at £48 each which included two rounds of golf and breakfast. Rooms are basic, a large double bed and powerful shower. Could be a bit noisy, we did hear a group return to their room at 2,30am. You can’t get into your room until 3pm, the reception are not even prepared to see if the room is available for you. Slow play on first day due to a competition ( next time I’ll ring before booking to check). On both days we found our tee wasn’t booked, the club were able to book us in for a different one but on the second day we arrived at our tee and another group had our tee. The shop said that the golf travel club always check if tee is free but don’t confirm. Apart from the woman on reception when we arrived, every member of staff couldn’t do enough for you. Service at the bar was slow due to just one member of staff, she was running around and coping as best she can.

Firstly a massive thanks to the YGT team for all the help and communications throughout especially as we had last minute issues. The hotel and course was better than expected considering the price. STAFF were excellent throughout our stay. ROOMS were very comfortable, and had everything you needed. FOOD was of good standard and prepared in a nice way.

This course was described as being one that drained water very well. The course was not boggy, but there was a lot of mud. Balls needed to be cleaned after every shot. As regards the course, it is a strange mixture of either very short or very long par 4’s. The back nine is much better than the front and very interesting. It is advertised as a championship course, but I can’t see how. Overall I would say that if you obtain a good, cheap price then white fields is worth the visit.

The course was in good condition for the time of year. The tees were a bit rough, and the fairways were a bit bare in places, although this is the same for a lot of courses at this time of year. Pick and Place on the fairways would have improved the latter.

It is a really good match play course with some easier holes mixed in with some very hard ones. There could have been some more info at the start of each hole on what was ahead because the course does get a lot of visitors. Or maybe a complimentary course guide for each group for the weekend. So Hole 2 we all thought dog-legged left rather than right and a few others could have been dangerous where the green could not be seen. Otherwise great challenge. Very flexible and we enjoyed ourselves

For the amount of rain we had received building up to the trip, the course was in remarkable condition. The course represents a decent challenge for most handicaps. Greens were very good, and some of the more exposed holes proved very tough with the wind. Really enjoyed it. The driving range has the TopTracer built in, which was brilliant.

Had 2 rounds, one in the evening which was nice and quiet and the other in the morning which obviously was busier but moved at a fair pace. Pretty course, nice and flat with some lovely picturesque holes involving water and wildlife! Really enjoyed our rounds - the course and greens are in good condition. Again the staff in the pro shop were lovely. Thankyou.

The pro shop experience was good . Not large but reasonably well stocked & extremely well staffed . The course was busy & yet seemed quiet & peaceful. We were able to maintain a decent pace of play . The overall condition of the course was very good with well defined areas of play . The greens were absolutely superb . They were very interesting to putt on with any number of undulations , they were true & fast . The overall experience at Draycote/Whitefields was a good one and once again YGT John did an excellent job in arranging this for me . I will be more than happy to continue my association with John & YGT when booking for next year & hopefully many years to come . Many thanks .

The main concern for our group was not to have too much up and down to negotiate. This course is not flat, but gently undulating and was excellent from that point of view. A small number of the greens are quite difficult to deal with because of the borrows,but meant they were a good test of golf. Hole 16 is a par three island green,and it should be watered to hold the ball. Over three days only a few of us managed to score,but has the potential to be a brilliant hole. Fairways well clipped, and semi rough playable. In good order for all of us. We went Monday to Thursday morning, length of game circa 4 hours.

There are few water hazards on this course, but I managed to visit most of them. I would have found one more if my tee shot at the Par 3 16th had not found its way on to the green via a bridge ! There were enough hills to make the course interesting without sapping our energy. The special offers linked to the course hotel make it well worth a visit.

The course was quite short, the greens and fairways were well kept but unfortunately there was badger damage on the T areas, the greenkeepers were able to repair some of the damage on Monday but there is little that can be done about badgers as they are a protected species. Everyone we met on the course was friendly and flow of play was fairly good despite the course being busy.The facilities were good and all the staff helpful. As always YGT organised the trip perfectly.
