The course is in good condition and has a good variety of holes. I would recommend a buggy if you are not very fit as there are some long walks between Tees. All in all an excellent venue

Tried to ring reception but no one answering the phone. Reported it as not working. Food option is £28 per person allowance. A sirloin steak was £28 so only one course free first evening. Bottle of still water was £3.95!! All Drinks highly priced better if you travel in a group and get the discounted rate. Perhaps all YGT customers should get the reduced pricing?

The main bar and restaurant areas are very nice, as are the gardens. The evening meal was very disappointing. You get an allowance of £28 towards your meal, which will barely cover the main course. We asked for bread to go with the soup, and was presented with a slab of 12 slices on a plate. The side plates were roughly left on the table next to one of the party, and expected to pass round. Very poor service, and the food itself was poor given the high prices charged (£28 for a steak with chips charged extra). Rooms could do with updating - the light switches had the brass peeling off them for example. Spa and swimming pool areas are nice.

The only good comment I can say about this venue was the course. The clubhouse pro’s disorganised, informing the group that their system had double booked our tee times. Also arranged on the first day for buggies for following day but when we checked in on our second day we were told they were not available?! Not told to pre book restaurant tables for group of eight? We then had to negotiate with the restaurant manager for us to eat in the hall? Service in the restaurant and bar was very slow? The only consolation was the spa, nice way to relax after a hard round of golf. We won’t be arranging another golf weekend at this location very disappointed.

The overall experience in the dining room was chaotic due to young staff that had no guidance due to lack of managers on duty. On the first night we were booked in for a 9pm dinner. Our order was taken 45minutes later which in turn was not commissioned by the kitchen. We finished our meal at 11.30pm!!! Probably the worse thing that could have happened on a blistering hot weekend was the fact that there was no draught beer from Sunday with no delivery due until Wednesday. The hotel itself was beautiful inside and out but was totally let down by staff leadership.

We experienced many disappointments during our visit Having phoned ahead to arrange certain things (eg. Coffee & cobs on arrival) we found that this request had not been passed on. We were finally able to access these once we had made someone aware of the situation. However, these were extremely expensive. The clubhouse was not operating when we arrived or even on the Monday afternoon when we left. One or two staff were very helpful but, overall, we experienced a distinct lack of service. After not being able to access a drink at the clubhouse before departure, we adjourned to the hotel to experience an unacceptable wait for service. We left after half an hour without being served. The rooms were comfortable. The evening meal was acceptable if not fully catering for the dietary needs of our party. However, the restaurant staff were the most helpful staff that we encountered & they made good efforts to cater for us. Overall, I would have expected much better service & amenities from a venue that is set up to cater for society groups.

Whereas eating in the clubhouse is fine for a group of men etc , we were a group of 4 mixed couples . We managed to get it rescindedbut thought you should know for future reference .

Some good, some bad about the course (3 lots of 9 holes). Generally a nice layout, with some interesting and challenging holes. It has obviously gone downhill in recent years as some of our party had played it several years ago and raved about it. The bunkers were absolutely shocking - worse than most municipals. Full of stones, virtually no sand, which looked like it had come off a builders yard. Many had a G.U.R sign placed in them, with lots of weeds in them so its obvious little has been done recently. Tee boxes also disappointing. Greens quite good, if fairly slow and flat. The deep rough is exactly that, so good luck if you end up in there, but a cut of the medium rough wouldn't go amiss either.

There are 27 holes at Oulton and on booking we were told we'd get to play all of them over the 2 rounds, after the convenient location this was the main reason we chose Oulton in order to get some variety on the course. However we ended having to play the same 2 loops of 9 twice! (19-27 and 1-9 both times). On the 1st day we were sent to the wrong tee and had to walk ages to get to the right tee and ending up in a big queue to tee off. This was all a bit of a farce and didn't get us off in the right frame of mind. On the course the greens were in excellent condition which was in stark contrast to the shockingly long and fluffy fairways, poor tees and every single bunker was GUR! There were a lot of very friendly starters on the course but not many greenkeepers! This was all really disappointing for us and would put us off booking again.

Saturday went to clubhouse to book in and get buggy.No buggy for any of 4 rounds of golf booked. after hip replacement can't walk the course. thank goodness you have Ellis there as he sorted me a buggy. After telling all about our previous stay and to look into it I can't now tell them not to come - they will have to find out for themselves. I have members of my club coming to you soon so I hope you can get your act together. Again its a good job you have Ellis and you keep him.Golf course no way up to standard as when we came 5 yrs ago

A great couple of rounds on an interesting course which was in good condition. Some of the tee beds were not as level as would be ideal but generally the course was very nice. There are 27 holes but we played 1 - 18 both days so I cannot comment on 19 - 27. The clubhouse was very impressive and the staff very welcoming. There is a lovely patio seating area overlooking the 18th green. Practice facilities are excellent - there is a driving range, a chipping area (accessed from the driving range) and a large putting green. Looking forward to a return visit as soon as is possible!

The fairways were fine with greens being on the slow side. The tee boxes needed cutting and tee positions had not been altered for several days. Several bunkers were gur due to damage by children from the surrounding houses during look down. The remaining bunkers contained no sand at all!!

Our 4 ball enjoyed the 2 games we had although a little wet when we commenced the first day and the ground in places became quite sodden in places. My wife required a buggy each day and at the end of September the price was rather high at £35.00 each day. (average prices at golf clubs is usually around £25.00)The greens were not true when putting as tining and sanding had started on the greens. My wife spoke with the golf shop person in charge but to no avail because he said this was there rates at this time of the year but he would speak to somebody about this a ring my wife in a couple of days.That was 6 days ago. Weve heard nothing! As yet.

On the Sunday, we had to wait on the first tee due to congestion & misinformation about tee times with the society in front. Once on the course, the round flowed well. Having played the course 3 years ago I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the tees & especially the greens this time around. The greens had lots of infection on them but they had also been recently hollow tined. Apparently they do this in September every year. It would have been good to know this so that we could have adjusted the date of any proposed visit. This element had a distinctly demoralising effect on the members of our group who were looking forward to playing the course as I had described from my previous visit. As organiser I felt responsible for this disappointment. All 3 nines have interest in them but the enjoyment was totally undermined by the state of the greens. We understand that there have been problems due to Covid-19 but all courses have experienced this and yet have been able to produce greens of good quality. It’s fair to say that we won’t be coming back.

Tees in poor condition and non existant 1st cut rough - if your ball was a couple of feet off the fairway you were struggling to find it. Greens in good condition, but no semi rough meant that play was very slow with lots of waiting for players to find balls. Better course management required. Allow at least 4.5 hours for a round !
