Draycote Hotel & Whitefields Golf Club

All good rooms are a little tired but quite adequate. Staff are very good , well looked after , food really good although a little restricted on menu .

Rooms not as good as other places we stayed at

Room a bit basic but ok. Food acceptable. Be careful of supplement charges for dinner. Hotel modernistic , public areas really very nice.

The hotel was of a decent quality although the room furniture was a bit dated. The showers were not the best and this let the place down. The staff were great as was the food and I know everyone enjoyed their stay!

Room was ok but needed some tlc . Shower was very feeble. Room was an interconnected one. It was fortunate that the other occupant was quiet as sound insulation was pitiful.

Lovely course, friendly staff and good hotel and facilities. One of the best experiences we have had

Great Hotel, staff were lovely, Ian behind the bar was brilliant. The rooms were a bit dated and the shower pressure wasn't great but overall would recommend.

Good food, clean tidy rooms, friendly staff

The hotel was ideal for what we needed. The staff and service were fantastic, facilities were great. Bedroom does need TLC, but as golfers we were not in the room for long so did not bother us that much

We had a great two days with staff food and accommodation just perfect thank you, we will return again, thank you for YGT fir arranging it fir us. Mel Birch

A spar would have been good for after golf. Staff were very pleasant and helpful.

Room was adequate and was clean. Restaurant menu was limited but quality of the food was good. Staff friendly and helpful. Overall perfectly adequate for a golfing weekend

Comfortable rooms,staff excellent, bar & restaurant very good.Whilst we had a issue with our delayed evening meal it was rectified very proffesionally.

Value for money is good. The beds are comfortable but the rooms are quite small for twin rooms. Overall everything worked ok, it was clean and tidy, for a couple of nights stay and for the money paid it was about right. Food and drink was ok, very edible, once again about correct pro rata to cost. One slight critique would be that for breakfast the food station was not topped up very quick. Overall, worth a stay, would go again.

Hotel was excellent.

Great hotel with brilliant staff. Could not have made us feel more welcome. Rooms are basic but good value for the money.

Clean, comfy, very nice beds, good food and service excellent value for money

Lovely hotel, food and staff were great. The room was basic and the bed was very uncomfortable. Mattress had seen better days!

Very pleasant hotel. Incredible value for money!

Hotel was basic but clean. Staff were very friendly.

Excellent venue for both golf and accommodation. Restaurant Manager and staff provided outstanding service and the food was excellent. Will definitely go back next year with my group. 5 stars!

Great stay, bars and restaurants were all very good. Food too!

The only low mark on this review is regarding the staff. First of all, I must stress they were all very friendly and approachable. We did have issues with service. We often had to repeat requests. For example, we asked to order food. We were told to wait at our table and someone would come to take our order. We had to repeat this request 20 minutes later. The bar area was not even busy. This happened a few times. It was the 40th birthday of one of our party. A family member had arranged for wine and chocolates. It was only by a conversation with that family member that we realised there should be a box of chocolates. The person had to embarrassingly ask reception for the chocolates. He was told they would be presented at dinner. He again had to ask for the chocolates 90 minutes after dinner. When paying for dinner we had to point out we were overcharged. This took more explaining than it should have. It was a clear, simple error. That same member of staff insisted we had not paid for our last round of drinks, when in fact we paid at the time we received them. This again led to a point of contention that we had to resolve. The staff finally acknowledged their mistake but did not apologise. So, nice place, staff are generally very friendly, but service was poor. Even though it was not busy.

Staff Great Bar Great Breakfast Great Rooms a little outdated

Pleasant stay. Lovely room. Nice breakfast.we booked golf and hotel package. First price it was excellent value

Excellent everywhere

The hotel was as always pleasant to stay in, well staffed, the staff were pleasant and helpful, and the food was good, if fairly basic - there was a reasonable variety to choose from. The only problem we had was a lack of communication between YourGolfTravel and the hotel, of who was in the party, and that there should have been twin rather than double rooms, to accommodate all male travellers sharing. Most disappointing as I'd spelt out these details to YourGolfTravel the day before, at their request.

There was a problem with bar food with wrong items being brought out and many things off the menu, which the kitchen needed to let the bar staff know about. So you really want to know immediately if something was not available, rather than 30 minutes after you had ordered! Some of the party were trying to eat before getting away on the Sunday and had to wait 1 hour for food. The bar staff were really good about it, but you just had a feeling that there was a problem in the kitchen and this needed to be communicated to the bar staff.

Hotel was great. Facilities were very good, restaurant served good food. The clubhouse bar was great too. Rooms were basic, which is no negative. Great value for money.

Only stayed one night bed and breakfast but was very impressed by the hotel and the breakfast was excellent. Also staff were very attentive and polite. Fantastic value for money. Thankyou

Very easy to access Draycote Hotel from M1 , M45 . Plenty of parking with easy access to clean & comfortable rooms . Excellent housekeeping staff . Reception staff very pleasant , friendly & helpful. Special mention for Rosie who was extremely helpful on arrival . Breakfast , serve yourself buffet with hot & cold choices , was plentiful with elements of differing standards as they were kept heated . Evening dinner package menus were excellent . Varied choices , plentiful & well presented . Bar food & drinks were also good except for the Guinness . The restaurant & bar staff were excellent .

We were given to understand that there has been a recent change of ownership.It was evident that the new management were doing everything possible to ensure we enjoyed our stay, and they succeeded. The rooms were clean, the staff very friendly,and the food was excellent I would recommend anyone to stay.

Value for money, clean and had everything we needed. Menu choice a bit basic and a mattress topper on a cheap mattress is still a cheap mattress and not a good night's sleep.

A very enjoyable stay. The staff were all very efficient and friendly.

Dont expect the Ritz but for a golf break its a basic relaxed place with very well trained and pleasant staff.

Booked last minute and was very impressed with the hotel and breakfast. 12 of us went and everyone was happy with the accommodation (which is a miracle)

We arrived late morning and were pleased to find we could buy a round of drinks before playing a round of golf. The staff were very helpful in recommending a nearby Indian restaurant and arranging taxis for our party of 11. There was a serve-yourself full English breakfast the following morning.

All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and the facilities good. All areas of the hotel were well kept and clean.The trip was excellent value for money.

Our room appeared to have been recently decorated and was nice and comfortable. The food was very good although we did have a long delay waiting for the starter but we were kept updated and we did understand that there had been a problem with a large golf group who had arrived late for the start of the meal which unfortunately coincided with our meal time.

Great room with a great King size. Very comfortable stay. Great value.

A golf break for four (2 non golfers) A bargain at £48 each which included two rounds of golf and breakfast. Rooms are basic, a large double bed and powerful shower. Could be a bit noisy, we did hear a group return to their room at 2,30am. You can’t get into your room until 3pm, the reception are not even prepared to see if the room is available for you. Slow play on first day due to a competition ( next time I’ll ring before booking to check). On both days we found our tee wasn’t booked, the club were able to book us in for a different one but on the second day we arrived at our tee and another group had our tee. The shop said that the golf travel club always check if tee is free but don’t confirm. Apart from the woman on reception when we arrived, every member of staff couldn’t do enough for you. Service at the bar was slow due to just one member of staff, she was running around and coping as best she can.

Firstly a massive thanks to the YGT team for all the help and communications throughout especially as we had last minute issues. The hotel and course was better than expected considering the price. STAFF were excellent throughout our stay. ROOMS were very comfortable, and had everything you needed. FOOD was of good standard and prepared in a nice way.

Really good value

Course is a society course in my opinion but still a good test for any golfer although spoilt a little by green that had been vericut and sanded making them bumpy and slow . good test

Very tight fairways and greens were rock hard

Not any real par 5's - over 500 yards - but apart from that, a good Society course. Bunkers could use some sand. Overall, quite enjoyable.

The course was decent enough, the tee boxes were OK the greens were nice if a bit spongy and a bit on the slow side. The greens were good with lots of hidden breaks and was a good test of our golfing skills. Some of the holes lull you in by being short but some of the greens are near impossible to hold if coming in from distance and there are a lot of risk reward holes. Our group really enjoyed the course.

We had millionaires golf. At one point we could see no one else on the course. We played middle of the day.

Well kept, some challenging holes but not over powering. Well layed out.

Great Course with Lovely Views.

Greens had just been worked on & were yet to settle back down, over course was well layed out with different challenges on every hole

Very slow going on the Saturday, much better on the Sunday. Lovely golf course, well looked after!

We had two lovely games, my wife and I with no problems, thank you. Mel Birch.

A good course. Greens had recently been spiked which made putting difficult. Fairways well kept and bunkers well maintained although a few were short on sand.

Good testing course with some interesting holes. Bunkers we not in a good condition but there had been quite a lot of rain. Tees were ok but not great. Greens were of a good standard held approach shots but were quite quick and true. Overall a good course to play for a weekend society.

A good flat course with excellent greens. You must plot your way around to score well, some lovely holes and views.Dress the back of the 18th green up and it would finish your round off completely.

Overall a good experience. Some strong holes. Didn’t need to walk on every tee with driver in hand. The course was generally in good condition considering the amount of traffic it gets. Bunkers were not great but I suppose just don’t hit your ball in them! The tees were the worst part of the course, uneven and the tee markers not spaced apart enough. Biggest disappointment was the advertised 16th hole island green. This is not a bad hole but not really as described.

Course was good however some of the tees require some work.

This is a really interesting and fun golf course. With some very challenging holes like the 6th and 7th and then some great risk and reward holes where you can take on a drive-able par 4. Greens were in great shape with very even pace throughout the round. Would definitely book here again.

Greens were brilliant, staff good and helpful, thought buggy prices a bit high compared to a lot of other courses I've played

Very nice course with some nice challenges. Sunday round was very slow due to the way the groups went out and took an hour longer than Saturday

Great value course and in good condition!

Greens were quick. Good course layout.

My group had a variety of different handicaps and they all found it to be challenging. The course was very well maintained although the Tee's could do with some care and maintenance. Course management and club selection is important so play a practise round first, before starting any competition is my advice.

We all very much enjoyed our two rounds great view of draycote water,found the par threes deceptively tough (i blame the wind).Definitely will be coming back 👍🏌️‍♂️

Nice course and some fun but forgiving holes.

This course was described as being one that drained water very well. The course was not boggy, but there was a lot of mud. Balls needed to be cleaned after every shot. As regards the course, it is a strange mixture of either very short or very long par 4’s. The back nine is much better than the front and very interesting. It is advertised as a championship course, but I can’t see how. Overall I would say that if you obtain a good, cheap price then white fields is worth the visit.

Cannot fault the course

Nothing special but pleasant game. Wide fairways and not too many trees. A few challenges. Pro shop staff very helpful

Course was wet which meant some fat shots but the greens were lovely and hard, quick in some areas

The course was in good condition for the time of year. The tees were a bit rough, and the fairways were a bit bare in places, although this is the same for a lot of courses at this time of year. Pick and Place on the fairways would have improved the latter.

It is a really good match play course with some easier holes mixed in with some very hard ones. There could have been some more info at the start of each hole on what was ahead because the course does get a lot of visitors. Or maybe a complimentary course guide for each group for the weekend. So Hole 2 we all thought dog-legged left rather than right and a few others could have been dangerous where the green could not be seen. Otherwise great challenge. Very flexible and we enjoyed ourselves

For the amount of rain we had received building up to the trip, the course was in remarkable condition. The course represents a decent challenge for most handicaps. Greens were very good, and some of the more exposed holes proved very tough with the wind. Really enjoyed it. The driving range has the TopTracer built in, which was brilliant.

Had 2 rounds, one in the evening which was nice and quiet and the other in the morning which obviously was busier but moved at a fair pace. Pretty course, nice and flat with some lovely picturesque holes involving water and wildlife! Really enjoyed our rounds - the course and greens are in good condition. Again the staff in the pro shop were lovely. Thankyou.

The pro shop experience was good . Not large but reasonably well stocked & extremely well staffed . The course was busy & yet seemed quiet & peaceful. We were able to maintain a decent pace of play . The overall condition of the course was very good with well defined areas of play . The greens were absolutely superb . They were very interesting to putt on with any number of undulations , they were true & fast . The overall experience at Draycote/Whitefields was a good one and once again YGT John did an excellent job in arranging this for me . I will be more than happy to continue my association with John & YGT when booking for next year & hopefully many years to come . Many thanks .

The main concern for our group was not to have too much up and down to negotiate. This course is not flat, but gently undulating and was excellent from that point of view. A small number of the greens are quite difficult to deal with because of the borrows,but meant they were a good test of golf. Hole 16 is a par three island green,and it should be watered to hold the ball. Over three days only a few of us managed to score,but has the potential to be a brilliant hole. Fairways well clipped, and semi rough playable. In good order for all of us. We went Monday to Thursday morning, length of game circa 4 hours.

Loved the parkland course. Challenge was more on the greens than anywhere else. Buggies expensive and pricing was 'let's just say random depending on who was in pro shop' . But overall would play here again!

Very enjoyable and picturesque course.

Good for an average golfer , bit slow on first day as very busy but fine on second. Greens excellent.

The course was good, some of the tee boxes wernt the best, apart from that nothing to complain about. Nice course with a nice layout. For the price we paid great value for money

There are few water hazards on this course, but I managed to visit most of them. I would have found one more if my tee shot at the Par 3 16th had not found its way on to the green via a bridge ! There were enough hills to make the course interesting without sapping our energy. The special offers linked to the course hotel make it well worth a visit.

The course was quite short, the greens and fairways were well kept but unfortunately there was badger damage on the T areas, the greenkeepers were able to repair some of the damage on Monday but there is little that can be done about badgers as they are a protected species. Everyone we met on the course was friendly and flow of play was fairly good despite the course being busy.The facilities were good and all the staff helpful. As always YGT organised the trip perfectly.

We enjoyed our two rounds of golf. The course has some interesting holes and the greens were in very good condition. There had been some bad damage, possibly caused by badgers on a lot of the tees.

Well laid out course with a relatively easy start then builds up to get a little tougher.greens had been hollow tined so we're a bit bumpy. But overall an enjoyable two days.

Long delays, tees double booked. Members turned up and given priority over booked tees held us up. Staff in the pro shop friendly.

GOLF course was really good, short holes but don't be fooled. The 15th and 16th holes are really good and quite daunting. The views over the lake on 13th are amazing. Good golf facilities, with large putting green and range. Overall, well worth a visit, and we would come back again. Quite hard to play after 'the night before'

Greens hollow tined and sanded. Par for greens at this time
