Upon arrival we were unable to get any breakfast food at the golf bar, as they had run out of bacon and sausages. We found many of the TV did not function well, shower temperature was very difficult to stabilise. Many of us were awakened early due to a fitnesses class running and playing loud music. We were unable to get a coffee at the bar in the evening as the only answer we got was no coffee. Restaurant staff were lovely as was the food served, and also the early evening bar girls were nice and friendly not so with the night staff. The golf course greens were in a dreadful conditions not withstanding the recent weather conditions. They were patchy and heavily tinned, not allowing for a true run of the ball. Staff working on the course gave no allowance to players totally ignoring the fact that they were in range of our play and not moving a side to allow us to play. The buggies were dripping from condensation on the inside of the roof, which was like having rain on us during play inside the buggy. The breakfast was quite dry, with though bacon and sausages. We did state that buggies were essential to enable us to play, and would like assurance before travelling that these would be available to us, this was confirmed the day before, however on the Sunday we were informed that they would not be available to us due to the weather. Due to the condition of the course and the incoming weather conditions we decided to leave early and forfeit our game on the Sunday. We would have preferred that the course closed and allowed us to transfer our event to an alternative date.
