Hotel was showing a lot of signs of neglect. Quite shabby in places. Food for the golf groups was in a separate area and was a very basic buffet. The hotel itself was a good size and had everything but just ran down. Staff were good and friendly and the sports bar was good for evening groups, lots of TVs with all the sports on.

Rooms were tired. Sports Bar was in need of cleaning along with poor table clearances, which seemed to be attributable to staff shortages. The Restaurant is now a Buffet style, previously we were given £25 vouchers per Dinner. We had played Golf elsewhere in Blackpool and were looking to eat at 8.00 but found the new hours were 6.30 to 8.00. We managed to get everyone in just, but the quality of food was poor first night. After much complaining we were promised a "much improved" buffet which it was. Breakfasts were very good relatively.

Despite our request for an accessible room (wife has mobility issues) staff claimed YGT had not made the request to them so one was not available for some time so sat in reception with bags and clubs waiting for room to be made ready. The room was fine other than the bathroom which had a tiled floor which was not non slip so due to the poorly designed sink that splashed water on the floor my wife slipped and broke her right foot big toe on the wall under the sink. The restaurant previously a 50's themed Italian had been changed to a sports bar with large plasma tv's on every wall. The quality of the fare was extremely poor we were not impressed.

My first visit to this hotel was almost 10yrs ago , we were blown away with the newly refurbished hotel then , now not so much it was looking tired as if it hadn't been touched in all that time. Check in was self service which was fine except the receptionist said we were here until Thursday I corrected her that it was Friday ( should have taken that as a warning sign) as my friend went to his room on the Tuesday for a jumper and couldn't get in long story short they had checked him out.( they blamed the error on YGT) The food in the bar was great however the bar staff did not have a clue we had bought about 6 rounds of drinks before finding out we should have had 25% off all drinks( not a cheap bar we were not reimbursed )we were also entitled to £20 a head for food that we had to constantly remind them of, the menu had all the wrong prices which didn't help when ordering , there was no table appointment for us because the receptionist had checked us out on the Wednesday. one of the dinner nights we were given a table with 2 large bird Sh%ts on the windows next to us which were still there the next night . Also as my friend and i were playing golf our wives had planned to make use of the Spa which had been taken away 18 months prior , not according to their website.. this was a major let down for them . All these issues are an easy fixes a 4 star hotel should easily meet. Although my friends didn't blame me i felt responsible as i had proposed this venue. The golf course was in good nic only some of the fairways were scorched a bit , Greens good. some of this might sound tedious but when its one thing after another it was really starting to spoil things for us all.

For our 1st nights meal we chose the 3 course buffet it was just what we needed after an hard day on the course and plenty of beer. The 2nd nights meal was chosen from the set menu, afainthis was fantastic.

Played on a Sunday driver and the Sunday round was 5hrs, Monday a lot better. A lot of the tees were in awful condition, the fairways were way too long but I understand it’s hard for free staff to get on with that much traffic. The greens were ok, not great and for beginning of September should be in top condition. Course layout was good, par 5’s all short with our longer hitters able to reach in two quite easily. We were probably spoilt by playing at Lancaster on the Saturday which was outstanding. All in all, what you expect from a Sunday driver hotel venue where the course is packed. Unlikely to go back but overall enjoyed the weekend apart from extreme slow play on Sunday.

Not a forgiving course , first day felt far to busy as though to many booked to play. Let some singles or two handers play through us however hard when 4 behind and four in front.

Tee times were bad due to very slow players. We had long cold waits and it wasn’t nice in the soaking wet conditions of the course. The course itself should have been closed due to the fact it was water logged and dangerous in many parts. The wheels of our trolleys were spinning in the water and turned over a few times while trying to steady them. We have had so many visits to this course in the good weather we know it to be one of our favorites but this visit was quite awful. The pathway from the 9th to the clubhouse which was where we decided to come off, almost caused a massive accident. Our trolleys both went down in the holes which were full of water. It was a very scary situation. The time it took to play 9 holes was in excess of 2/1/2 hours. So we didn’t dare to do the 18 holes when it would have become dark and even more dangerous trying to find our way back. It was such a disappointing two days for us. We love that club but there are no greenstaff or any officials on duty to keep the players on the straight and narrow .

We had 3 rounds of golf with all weather across the trip. Greens and fairways held up well with recent wet spell there was parts of the course which were unplayable with standing water (no fault of anyone’s) Greens were nice and tricky abit bobbly in places Nice course with plenty of hazards placed around.

Unfortunately arrived just after the monsoon, only managed the Monday round and there was still a lot of water on the course and then more rain in the latter part of the round. Still a good challenging course and the Pro shop staff were welcoming and helpful. Book the course but stay elsewhere.

Despite the weather conditions the course held up for the 3 days, for the volume of golf played, i would have thought that the drainage would have been to higher standard.

We enjoyed the course but there are so many groups and societies it is very slow and really needs a Marshall around the course to ensure a reasonable pace. We got behind groups of very slow ladies and societies of non golfers and the pace was very frustrating ...

The course was in great condition and the greens were really good. There are a lot of hazards on the course and water everywhere. Most of the trees were classed as red hazards, which I suspect was to help speed up play. Some of the holes were nice and easy but there was a few that were really hard. We were a 4ball of hackers but we got round the course in 4 hours on both days of our stay. The members we met all seemed friendly and told us to enjoy ourselves on the course and we did. We will definitely be back. We paid £139 each for 2 nights and 2 rounds, bed breakfast and evening meal. Great value for money and a great golfing experience.

We had two days golf. Both absolutely great. Lovely friendly people on the course also. The staff in the golf shop had problems keeping young louts from causing problems on the course due to a public footpath in the area. We coped due to being good humored when we came across them. The golf was excellent and the course staff superb!
