Delta Hotels by Marriott St. Pierre Country Club

This has been the fourth time we've been to St Pierre and we have always found it great value for money. There is a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere at the hotel. Food was very good and staff helpful.

Not good! Room was poor, long way from reception/dining room, too much furniture in a small room making it very cramped. Bathroom was small and in need of some TLC. No net curtains so lack of privacy and overlooked by golfers. one of our worst hotel stays!

Only one bar in the hotel, and when you have circa 40-50 people trying to get a drink (this included a wedding party on the Saturday), with one staff member serving it was ludicrous. Eventually more staff were found, but it was obvious they had not served the public previously. Food generally was poor, very small portions, no bread rolls to accompany starters, very poor main course where the chicken breasts looked more like sparrow breasts (twice mentioned in our after golf chat). On saying that, the breakfasts Sunday were of a better standard.

The rooms were comfortable, with twin beds, good mattresses and toppers. Rooms were clean. However, no fridge to keep anything stored or cool. Nor AC, which made the room very warm. A fan was provided, which took the edge off. Rooms were tidied every day. Plus only able to get a few terrestrial channels on the TV without interference. Unfortunately and disappointingly three of our twin rooms had to move to two suites due to a water leak. This meant that two of the party had to sleep on sofa beds and for the reasons mentioned made the rooms uncomfortable. Some compensation was offered by the hotel and the guests moved back to a twin on the last night. Further lack of communication happened when a dinner reservation was brought forward without the party being informed. The waitress said that one of the party requested it, but we have been doing this trip for 32 years and none of them would do that. The group organiser was not informed prior to the group being searched for a several missing the start of the meal.

A warm welcome. Nice room with a view of the course. It was helpful to have a fan. Easy to find the pool and jacuzzi. Food was good especially breakfast.

All good.

Food and drinks more expensive than The Belfry. Would not go back.

The rooms and staff were great here, but the food was bad, after seeing breakfast and lunch we opted for food out of the hotel, meaning we could not use the 25 pound voucher towards dinner. It was also very touch and go whether we would make our flight back due to the difficulty of getting a taxi in this region. Same coming back from the nearest town, we had to walk. Had we been made aware of this we would have booked a private transfer in advance.

Great stay, breakfast and evening meals superb, lots of choices and quality food. All staff from reception, room staff, waitress servers & bar staff excellent. Leisure facilities very good, gym great, pool facilities good. Rooms quite nice, pillows and mattresses very comfortable. Room could’ve done with air con with weather so hot. The bar area was very nice, dink prices quite expensive.

Tees were in a bit of a distressed state but perhaps unsurprising given the lack of rain. Putting surface ok though.

For a so called 'Championship Course', it was laughable. As with the Mathern course, very poor condition - do they have any green staff?

Even allowing for the drought,shocking condition, very scruffy, bunkers terrible and weeds everywhere, a bit of basic strimming and bunker raking would have been good. Tees a joke, obviously no watering at all. Five hours and ten minutes for the round.

This course is excellent, the three issues noted by our party were, starters hut closed, halfway house closed, and the course not marshalled.

Very slow play caused mainly by two very slow four balls, which ultimately led to pile ups and frustrations. There was no course marshalling, and the starters hut and halfway house were not manned. On saying this we will return as the course is excellent, a true test of golf.

This was presented in much better condition. The points raised with the Mathern Course were not replicated here. Therefore, the Mathern could be improved to match the experience of the Old. The conditions at the top of the course were challenging due to the wind. All the par 3's were difficult due to the length at +200 yards in nearly all cases with the wind. Only one hole is unnecessarily tricky if you've not played it before. The 5th, as the fairway runs out with steep slope off to the right, which is not seen from the tee box. With the dry condition good shots up the left took the slope and ran 100 yards right into the bushes. Apart from that the Old Course saved St Pierre. It was a shame the Mathern did not come close too, let alone match for presentation.

This course was not presented well and this is not due to the weather conditions. The main issue was the state of the tee boxes. These were patchy with green grass in places with uneven dust making up the rest of the tee space. No care was taken by players to keep the tee tidy of broken tees, which were strewn everywhere. Some tee baskets for broken tees may help direct golfers to do their bit to keep it nice for the next group, but I don't think green staff have spent anytime tidying these areas. Fairways were in good condition for the extreme weather. Grass, albeit parched. covered the fairways with no poor lies. The greens were incredibly slow. They had grass which I presume has been left long due to high foot fall. This meant that none of the breaks came into play as you were forced to hit the putt as hard as possible. It is a shame as the course is a very strategic test and would be great with some TLC from green staff and players.

Not a 'noddy' course at all. You have to drive well and plot your way around. Better off without woods, I'd say. Spongey greens but still rolled well. We definitely earned the post round beer.

Bare fairways- to be expected but greens and tees were well watered. A good examination and rewarding if you are having a good driving day.
