We loved our stay at Dunstan Hall, the golf course is spectacular. Spa facilities wonderful staff exceptional. My only criticism of this trip would have been we were treating our friends who are chefs, as we wanted them to have a couple of nights of à la carte meals but they didn’t have to cook themselves. And because of staff shortages we ended up having cold carvery. Slightly disappointing, but still had a fabulous stay.

The stay at Dunstan Hall was unfortunately impacted by Covid and a bad breakfast! We were due to tee off at 3pm on Saturday, with the plan to use the spa, pool and gym on Saturday morning/afternoon, however, upon arrival (Friday) we were told that the showers were not in use and no changing rooms were available. So we could use the gym (only for 45 minutes), but would have to change in the toilets without the use of the showers afterwards. So unfortunately we had to sit for 4 hours whilst we waited for our tee time to arrive. The breakfast 'buffet' was served (but not table service), so we had to queue whilst the buffet ran out of eggs, beans, hash browns, pretty much everything. Eggs did arrive but were half cooked and full of shells. The waitress did very kindly bring some beans to our table to save us queuing any longer. To be fair to the staff, they were very friendly/helpful, and I hope the service they are allowed to provide can get back to normal post covid.

The area had had quite a bit of rain recently so the fairways were very heavy, the staff had clearly had to work hard to get the course ready so it could be played. Some of the the pins were changed which made it a little more interesting.the only disappointing aspect were bunkers which were rock hard and clearly hadn't been raked or kept up to standard, this made it very difficult if landing in them. The greens were slow but that's to be expected with so much rain, all in all a well presented course that tests every aspect of your game

The layout was great with no two holes being the same, dog leges, ponds etc. a good selection. Unfortunately, the course was water logged, which made it hard to play, which reflected in the scores. So, I wouldn’t suggest planning a golf trip in the winter. Must thank the golf club, no buggies were allowed out on the course, due to water logged course, but made allowance for one buggy for our 90-year-old member.

Although there are a number of par 4’s and only 3 par 5’s the course played very hard as the fairways were very wet and the divots were quite deep due to the wet fairways. The greens were overall slow due to the rain and quite difficult to get the ball rolling. The course layout and tree lined fairways made the drives quite challenging but very pretty. It will be nice to come back in the summer.
