Manor of Groves Hotel, Golf & Country Club

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.

The rooms are fine some may say dated but they offer all that is required for a one night stay. The bar area is awful it is by the entrance and has no character whatsoever they have at least replaced the electronic doors that operated when anyone got close to them letting in cold air or stale tobacco smoke. they now have a swivel door which is quite awkward. The receptionist was fine and welcoming although one of the bar staff who was doubling as a receptionist was quite rude when carrying out he bar duties. Talking of the bar the selection of draught beers is dire and the cost of the drinks we purchased was outrageous therefore we only had the one drink. It seem to me the hotel staff were all youngsters with no experience who could do with some training in hospitality. The evening meal was good however the menu doesn't appear to change so those staying longer would have little variation. Breakfast was on the whole good. Noce health club which we did not use on this occasion

Check in was efficient, room was comfortable and clean. Food and service in the restaurant was good. Our only issue is there is no comfortable lounge and bar area. We had a drink after dinner and we had to sit in the reception area which was noisy and a bit chilly. Not what was needed after a busy, tiring day.

Best part about the hotel experience was the dinner, considering it is included in the package is very good quality and included 3 courses. Room was fine and did the job, very good shower.

Chairs in restaurant were in disrepair but were told new ones were coming. Food very good both evening meal and breakfast.

The hotel a mix of old and new , room was nice , bar !! In lobby no atmosphere. Restaurant!! Seats falling to bits food ok

Golf course verry nice but hotel restaurant very shabby chairs and tables need renewing but staff very helpful

Hotel The dining room was a bit canteen like, the beds were hard and pillows thin and flat. The shower screen leaked massively onto the bathroom floor. But these were all small things and overall ok Course Our first round was in the rain immediately after a huge thunderstorm. Maybe because of this that for the next three days bunkers in terrible condition, no defined edges and rabbit holes, filled with mud more than sand. Ladies tees very uneven. Lots of hazards that could lead to slow rounds although we never got stuck behind anyone for long. Greens ran true but signs of plantain growing through in places. Overall course very likeable with many different types of holes.

+ Lovely location + Breakfast and evening meals excellent + Rooms comfortable ~ Not much to do in the evening.Bar area is soulless no atmosphere ~ Stayed 3 nights no cleaning service at all. Biggest negative our last night/morning no water as hotel had problems with a pump. so no morning bathroom facilities as still no water when we checked out at 11

Room was perfect, food excellent, staff very good but we're young and needed guidance. Bar area was poor, it was in the Hotels reception area. Location was stunning. And the hotel itself looked tired and in need of some tlc.

Not a relaxing place to enjoy food and drinks and socialise. Not enough staff and not very friendly. The bar is an extension of the check in desk. The restaurant is like an add on area to reception. A bit negative however THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT! Well / done chef! Didn’t use the gym but it looked impressive

Unfortunately the hotel had a problem with water so no one had any option to shower or even use toilets in parts of the hotel. They also ran out of half of the draft alcohol which limited people’s options

The hotel looks very tired, the reception entrance carpet was worn along with the dining room chairs. The lift was not working. The breakfast was not good, cold plates, dried up food, hard eggs etc

The lift was out of order, had to carry all our stuff up 2 flights of stairs, no help. Was told it won't be fixed as a new lift required and the hotel won't spend the money. Eurovision also advertised, but staff had no idea this was meant to be on and couldn't work out how to get BBC

Room where good bar don’t have a lot of space for larger groups but there is a pub walking distance

Very average accommodation. Our rooms were near the leisure facilities and we were all woken at just before 7am by the music from a gym class.

Hotel was adequate for a one night golf stay. Rooms were fine but basic (which was ok) but could do with some updating. Staff were friendly, food was excellent. Bar are was not so great but adequate. all in all good value for money

Friendly clean well kept.decent bed. Beautiful grounds.

The food was the best thing about the hotel, over the 2 days and 12 meals we had between us no one was disappointed with any course, I would certainly come back for a meal. Onto the actual stay, the addition of the health club was a massive bonus and very well kept, the rooms were alright however water pressure was poor, and on the final day we found to be no running water in our side of the hotel which really let it down, all in all not the best stay but for the price the food really saved the day

Accommodation was great, but without exception all ten of agreed the food was some of the best we have had in the thirty six years we have been travelling.

I had read a lot of bad reviews about this place , but decided to ignore them and book a one night stay and two rounds of golf as part of my brothers stag do , on arrival we couldn’t check In until 3 . So we went off and played lovely course only let down is the greens weren’t great Rooms were great , staff were great couldn’t help enough and the food was fantastic including the breakfast the following morning . I will definitely be coming back .

Good hotel adequate as a base for golf

Friendly staff, comfortable rooms. Good menu.

The hotel was good, room very comfortable and it had a fridge which was excellent.Food choice in the restaurant could have been greater.

Comfortable stay at hotel. Restaurant and food ok and buffet breakfast was great. Perfect for 4 lads on golf weekend.

Thanks YourGolf Travel for recommendation. Manor of Groves was perfect for our small society. Friendly staff, pleasant rooms, excellent evening meal and challenging well cared for golf course. Great couple of days had.

Sound experience - had an issue with final settlements but the manager was amazing in helping us get it sorted. Defo recommend it here

It was good value for money. I would highly recommend it. For the money it's well worth it. The golf course was in good playable condition for this time of the year.

Nice hotel. Staff were polite but lacked a little hospitality training. Was disappointed to see the restaurant menu was small with basic options on. Considering g were dining two nights would been nice for a little more variety. Staff in restaurant seemed to lack leadership or direction. No check backs etc.

really enjoyable stay at this hotel the staff were very accommodating and friendly

Very nice hotel food was lovely, service great No complaints .

The accommodation was very good, the only strange thing was that the bar was part of the reception and was like sitting in the foyer.

aal good great weekend

Enjoyed the experience, the rooms were really nice and the staff are professional and helpful. The biggest negative is there is not a decent lounge area, the seating in the bar area is small and noisy..our group was very lucky as we were given the library for our dinner and evening prize giving.

Great staff very good food at the hotel and clubhouse rooms are a bit dated but comfortable unfortunately we were in the basement so some rooms didn’t have a view but not a major issue would highly recommend this hotel

The food in the hotel was really good and the staff with whom we interacted were very nice. The room was fine and the bed was very comfortable. The bar doesn't rate so well. There is no atmosphere and very little decent seating. We were a mixed age group of 10, so not a huge group, but the bar area is set up with basic dining tables and chairs, meaning that enjoying a relaxing evening after our golf was not ideal.

Poor lounge area and very noisy dining room (tiled floors). Nowhere to relax in comfort.

Lovely hotel and staff, would have given 5 stars but the evening meal was not the best, have dined better

Nice hotel the rooms are very hot as we were in the basement the food was good and the staff very good.it’s a pity the only bar open was by the reception area and also nobody informed us as to the time of dinner on the 2nd night which they made 2 hours earlier than the first nights a great stay the leisure facilities are great

A lot of problems with the automatic room keys. Menu choice was a bit limited and was the same for all 3 nights and on each evening an item on the menu was not available.

I would not recommend this hotel whether a golf stay or otherwise, it felt like an overpriced business hotel. The reception also included the bar and the restaurant, there was not space for relaxation and was extremely poor. The staff were rushed off their feet and ignored waiting guests, even on arrived the receptionist, come bar person, saw us walking in and walked away, leaving a colleague to deal with another guest who was complaining. I asked about the booking for a restaurant, she said no need, another member of our party asked the same to the same person and was told you better book as it is busy! We asked for twin rooms for all and all rooms were made up of as doubles. When waiting to be served at the bar later on, she was busy having a casual conversation with other guests, who had completed their order and just totally ignored us. We ordered wine at the table, they didn't even bother to open it and serve it. Would not recommend this hotel at any price to anyone.

Hotel was nice. Rooms were spacious. Bar was a bit small for a big group of us. Food was ok

Had a great stay can't say more than that really

No complaints at all everyone was pleasant and eager to please. My only complaint was with the inflexible way that we dealt with limited info when booking with yourselves we would not use your company again.

Room comfortable, maybe could have some rooms with shower cubicle as bath was high and hard to pull yourself up to stand to be able to shower.

Overall not a positive experience manily due to the condition of the course.

Room and evening meal were excellent. Breakfast had a wide range of food available, but the cooked breakfast was self service under hot lamps was tasteless.

Stayed for a golf package weekend. Challenging but well kept golf course. Staff were very friendly & helpful. Dinner was excellent & overall excellent value for money. Would definitely stay again 😊

Very good

Friendly staff and a well equipped and modern hotel. Leisure facilities were excellent with fully equipped gym and large swimming pool. Food in the restaurant was excellent, room was spacious and comfortable

A Friendly comfortable hotel with good facilities and food with golf course and health club excellent

The stay was very good the only problem we had was that we change the date due to covid and the room was changed but the golf was still in the old bookings luckily they were able to fit us in everything other than that was great

Amazing value for money. Will definitely be going back.

Excellent venue. Rooms was very modern and well kept

Booked late and was everything we asked for

The room 106 very poor low budget.

Right from arrival staff both in the hotel and the golf clubhouse were very friendly. Once checked in we got settled, room was spacious bed very comfy. Shower was one of the best I’ve had, water pressure was something else! We went into the local town of Sawbridgeworth to watch some sports, great decision really cute town and the people there were very welcoming! Returned to the hotel and headed to the leisure facilities to relax, great pool and Jacuzzi and the steam room well kept. Breakfast in the morning was perfect, nothing fancy but great fry and healthier fruit options available. We would definitely come back!

Hotel was beautiful. The rooms were quite small and the sheet was directly on the mattress so you could feel every button. The restaurant and bar areas were quite plain, but the food was very nice.

This is our fourth visit which says a lot . The staff are great and from start to leaving looked after us . Food is always very good service friendly and professional. Rooms very comfortable . Course is challenging longest 18th ever but love the challenge. Very good value for money and Thanku to all form YGT and Manor of groves .

Room comfortable but no towels in room, food was not up to scratch. Buns on burgers was stuck to burger and not fresh. Breakfast was fantastic

Hotel is clean and well presented. Staff very helpful and friendly. Room ckean and comfy Only issue room not cleaned during stay.

Ideal for what we needed it for !

Overall good but disappointed with no golfers lounge and the bar was in the lobby with guests checking in and out. not ideal. also no fridge in the bedroom which was strange considering the rooms were excellent.

Nice hotel, rooms clean and comfortable. Food was excellent and staff were all very helpful especially in the clubhouse bar. Hotel bar itself lacked atmosphere, shame clubhouse bar didn't stay open late.

The rooms were good, nobody had complaints about them and the food was basic but good although depending on the meal chosen one or two thought the portion size a bit small. Buffet breakfast was excellent. Bar prices were a bit higher than we are used to but about average for a hotel.

As the coordinator for the group I must admit I was quite wary in terms of my expectations for this venue, but I was so glad that we booked it. The hotel is very nice and the facilities are excellent. Having access to the pool and health club was a bonus, the rooms were clean and well maintained and very comfortable. The bar space was a little limited when in the hotel, but that did not detract massively. So overall a very positive experience and a place I would recommend for a cost effective golf break

Good golf and accommodation but the staff were a mixed bag. Many times I would be waiting to be attended by members of staff and they would not acknowledge you for a while (whilst they were doing something). All they needed to do was say they'd be with you in a minute. Main problem though, the restaurant was awful. Awkward design, really bad food (burger was like a microwave burger advertised as brioche - definitely not brioche). Their system for serving customers was amateur - we had to wait 45 minutes for just our drinks and we were left countless times waiting for us to take an order, asking whether dessert was included and even had to go to the till to give our order. Staff were friendly enough but didn't seem trained at all. I was a better waiter when I was still at school. Shame really - the restaurant really spoiled the weekend. Also, they don't have a lounge to relax in...definitely go somewhere else next time

Awful staff except one! They are understaffed and most are in training so lunch and dinner was slow and as for the breakfast- vile is the best word that comes to mind. And when I complained all I got was "you're rude" and a walk off shaking their head. We did try calling the main reception for 2 days prior to our visit to book a table for lunch but no one ever picked up or returned our VM's - I asked why this was at check in and they said "oh yer, we have about 40 calls on there and just haven't got round to it" which says it all really. I have since read trip advisor and I could have copied and pasted so of the reviews over the last 2 months.

I'd stay here again. Food was good. Staff could not be more welcoming. The acoustics are a bit poor in the public areas as there are lots of hard surfaces, so if you have hearing difficulties this may not be the place for you, but otherrwise, all good.

Really enjoyed our stay for 16 people. 15 player golf whilst one used the swimming and gym facilities. Plenty of staff on hand and everyone was friendly. Everyone had a great time.

Social distancing was very well organised and staff very friendly, overall experience of the hotel excellent

Rooms were very clean. Staff were superb and very friendly. Food was perfect.

Had a great time at Manor of Groves. Staff were very superb and friendly and nothing was ever too much bother. COV19 restrictions are not ideal but the hotel has put in sensible controls.

The hotel was ok and good value for money. Evening meal was lovely but the breakfast was very poor. We was in the back room for breakfast and the food was very cold once it came out. We made a complaint about how poor it was. The manage then took the rest of the guest to eat in the main restaurant area which all the food was hot when it was served up.

The hotel was excellent and the staff very friendly and welcoming.

Staff a little off at times although I’m not a sensitive sue, rooms a bit tired but adequate for us as were only there for the golf and one night restaurant excellent food excellent bars good I enjoyed the stay

I've been on many golf breaks in the UK, where we have been looking for a low cost weekend away. Most weekends have been compromised in some way, either food not great, rooms a bit rough, but we know it's a case of 'you get what you pay for' so happy to go with the flow. The Manor of Groves weekend was above expectation. The rooms were lovely, the service was excellent and we had full choice on the dinner menu (a lot of breaks give you a set menu). In addition we had use of the spa facilities (sauna, steam room etc...). Unfortunately I was unaware so took no swim shorts, but know for next time. A short cab ride into Sawbridgeworth in the evening for some nice pubs if you want to take yourself away from the hotel bar. Cab fare was £6. Golf course was fine, not the greatest to be honest, but our crowd were all mid handicappers so happy with it. Just glad for a golf weekend away in a nice hotel. Golf club bar was fine, sky sports on TV and relaxing place for a couple of post-round beers. All in all a great venue for a low cost weekend with friends, hitting some balls and a staying in a lovely hotel

Hotel staff good fine golf course not recovered from hot spell tee boxed in need of attention mud rather than grass fairways need cutting but overall good value thanks

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. We did state that buggies were essential to enable us to play, and would like an 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.

We have visited this course on many occasions as it has offered good value for money and has always been presented in a good playable condition. On this visit though we found the tee boxes to be devoid of grass very bumpy with some nasty holes where it would be easy to twist you ankle, some were just lumpy mud, I agree the dry summer hasn't helped and the foot fall here is great and the tee boxes are small giving little scope for rotation. The Greens were generally good on the putting surface but the approaches and the surrounds were awful no grass lots of bald areas which desperately need overseeding. The fairways were reasonably good and dry plenty of grass. All in All I still like the course as I think the layout has something for everyone but it really needs some TLC. It didn't help on day one being behind a large golfing group who were late putting our tee time back creating a 5 hour round which is unacceptable. Day two we were ahead of the group and completed the course in 3 hrs 50 what a difference. Yes we would play here again

Really enjoyed the 2 days golf. Course was in great condition. Some very tricky holes with ditches and water. Enjoyed the challenges. Staff and Marshall at the club were all really friendly and helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed our trip.

Greens ran very quick considering the rain over the past week. Practice green also a good representation of actual speed. Unfortunately practice nets are out of use and with no driving range this was a negative. Hopefully they are fixed soon.

Sundays round was over 5 hours following large men’s group. Mondays round was better. Buggies seats were all torn but new ones were on the way next month apparently. Toilet on course was immaculate on Monday but not so good on Sunday. The tees were in a bad shape. The dry fairways made getting over the ditches that ran through the course difficult at times to get over. We lost many balls but found many too.

Fairway good but tees and green poor

Need to keep it straight, and avoid hazards by laying up .

Group of 10 we all enjoyed the course. In good condition and a good challenge Rounds were a bit slow average 5 hours but not too bad

A challenging course, with strategically placed bunkers and the ditches, ponds came into play on most holes. Overall a very enjoyable course, and possibly suited the bigger hitters amongst us. Greens were very good, quick and not easy to read. Clubhouse and Pro-Shop very good.

What a beautifully well kept course. Great signage. Great greens. Easy buggy hire. Easy booking. Shame no range. Only 2 practice nets. Nice practice putting green. Club house refreshments very limited and staff we encountered rude. We got there about 12.15 after a long drive, our tee off was about an hour and a half later. Food was advertised as being available till 2pm so asked for some toast and jam which was on the menu. The answer was ‘no Im doing no more cooking today!’ The golf more than made up for it. Would defffo return for the course.

Course is lovely and the first 12 holes are really a lovely challenge of ball placement. Unfortunately the club house closed early on both days so it was hard to relax and enjoy after the round

Our first outing on the course was held up by the golfers in front, all in a large group, all in buggies, no regard for the players behind, added an hour to our play. Our second outing was much improved as we were out before the large group.

Beautiful course, some challenging holes

Tees were in poor condition due to the lack of water, most greens were okay, but 1 green had quite a few GUR areas on it.

Really enjoyed our two rounds at this course. The course itself was in excellent condition. The fairways were good and the greens excellent. Nice mixture of holes and difficulty. 609 yard par 5 hole 18 seemed a bit unneceassry considering it was only stroke index 6. Clubhouse was average , kitchen was shut for food at 2.30 which seemed a bit early for the summer and the bar staff weren't the most welcoming but that aside a worthwhile visit and definitely value for money. You'll enjoy the course

Nice grounds people. Good vibe. Picturecse. Some random walks to tees. Overall great experience. Could do with 9th hole finishing at clubhouse to pit stop half way round if u fancy a cheeky pint.

Sausage rolls were nice, along with the layout of the holes which kept you thinking, a lot of tight approaches to the greens. However on to the course itself the Tee boxes were not in a good way, very tough to find any level ground for your feet or ball. Fairways were in good condition, no dead areas and the best part of the course. On to the greens and around the greens, around the greens was mostly just muddy areas which really limited shot type, bunkers on the most part were decent and had enough sand. On to the greens, they may well be some of the worst greens I have seen on an 18 hole course, bumped all over the place and inconsistent, it made hitting the green quite unrewarding, one green, the 11th the grass was peeling up! I was told by the staff that they were much better this week than a couple of weeks ago! On this I would Definitely avoid coming back to play this course, however with investment the layout is fun and could be a really fun challenge.

As part of a package it was good. As the weather of recent days had been so bad, we were lucky to be playing, so we were not seeing it at its best, but it was looking tired. However we did enjoy it.

Lovely course just let down by the greens .

Nice course, not too long but challenging

Enjoyed the course, a bit of walking on some holes greens to tees, I took a buggy second day 😀

The course felt long but yardage was average. Some tees could have been in better condition but fairways and greens good.

The course was better than expected. Fair challenge and interesting for any mid handicapper. Slow round (5 hours) as followed a large society but played following morning and 4 ball completed in under 4 hours. Great value set up with hotel package.

Tough course for 22HC plus but we'll cared for and friendly shop staff and course starter. Only negative... there was no food available with our drinks when we finished our round and with a few hours still before dinner at the hotel considering the numbersnin the bar area we found this this quite surprising.

Nice course and we had all the elements across the three days in rain wind and sun Slow rounds getting to 4.5-5 hours on two of the days but enjoyable none the less. Buggies was an issue, not many and when we’ve got a group of 24 lads for 3 days it would have been ideal to have them readily available but again not the end of the world that the few they had were booked out. Will come again one day

Despite of the weather for this time of the year the condition of the golf course was surprisingly good. We had a nice comfortable round.

Clubhouse clearly old and dated. Breakfast food was poor. Pro shop staff were a little un interested. But the starter Marshall was excellent. Courses was lovely. One of best I've played. A little slow on Sunday round. And no one marshaling on course to speed up play. But overall a great course. I'd come back and play.

an enjoyable course will come back again

Considering the amount of rain recently the course was in good nick. The main thing that let it down was greens were very poor, due to amount of leaves that fallen from trees. We didn’t see one greenkeeper / groundsman all weekend trying to clear greens. But a nice course on a good fine day

The fairways and greens were ok but the tee boxes were poor and tee settings very narrow. The group of 33 found the front nine ok with most scoring quite well but the back nine was very difficult mainly due to the ditches and water hazards being in the hitting zones of our mostly high handicappers. The speed of play was ok.

course played well plenty hard enough for 24 handicapper

We have played this course before and will be back.

The course was in a great condition apart from a couple of tee boxes but not a major problem, greens were great and true it was tricky on some holes but you get to use all your clubs plotting your way around the course would highly recommend this course for a golf break

This course is in serious need of decent greens staff. Our understanding is that the currently only have 2 full time greens keepers and it shows. The course has a nice layout and the greens were consistent but there were a number of bunkers with grass and weeds in the were declared GUR and the tees were in very poor condition. We won't be returning and I wouldn't recommend this club.

Heavy weekend footfall so try to play midweek

Extremely slow rounds. Was told a large female group was in front and marshals would be on the course to keep a good pace. Not one marshal seen on both days so with most of the group being amateurs made the round slow. The course conditions were not great, tee boxes very poor. Would not chose to return to the club.

Absolutely beautiful course. Play was good, no waiting. The greens were super slick! We are newbies so it was a hard course to us, hills/ponds etc but we had buggy and really loved the course. Would recommend and would book again

Course was in excellent condition and played pretty hard even for the lowest of handicappers you have to be precise clubhouse was good with a nice outside area but there could have been food on offer from the clubhouse they would have made a fortune overall a great weekend

Signage to next hole was often poor. Ladies tee markers had no information next to them. Food availability in the golfers bar seemed to finish very early However staff were friendly and approachable.

Course wasn't bad, greens in good condition, but the tees were awful. In the main it was ok, signage could be better. But lots of golf staff around if needed help. The clubhouse closed early on the Saturday, surprised us, the staff were really helpful in there, outdoor seating area is very poor and in need of repair.

Generally a poorly kept course. Tee boxes weren't maintained, bunkers look liked they'd been given up on, marked as GUR. Some greens we're very poor. Pro shop staff were rude and didn't want to help us when we'd only been allocated one tee off slot compared to the 2 we had arranged. Tired clubhouse too

On a sunny dry day this course will be a treat to play.still on a damp wet day good course to play but ball did not travel far as rain soaked course held up ball a lot.generally great course to play

We thought the course had suffered the weather this winter/spring the pro shop was very well stocked and staff very accomodating

Followed guys in front, they went wrong after the 3rd and we followed, so 1st round played 1-3 then 13 - 18.Not sure if there was a clear sign directing to 4th from side of green , but our fault for not checking first

The facilities offering breakfast etc was good however we should never have been allowed to play as it was unsafe due to rain and mud. Several of our Group walked Off the course. It then rained all night Saturday and the course was still open on Sunday . These type of venues won’t shut or else they have to pay back money. Very disappointed. Would not go back and certainly wouldn’t recommend.

Enjoyed the course which was challenging but fair. The heavy clay made approach shots difficult and clinging to our shoes made it quite tiring. We will go again in the summer when the conditions underfoot will be much better. The greens were excellent considering the time of year.

Lots of water & ditches but a good length well kept course so managed to score points every day. Very happy 😊

Very tricky course with lots of ditches and blind holes

18th and 10th hole challenging but just right for our party of mixedability golfers

Very tight in places and much better when you knew where to put the ball but enjoyed it

Very good,enjoyed by us all. T off box's need a little attention.

Bunkers poor. Otherwise most enjoyable.

Lovely course. Every hole has a different challenge.

Course in good condition. Would have been nice if we was informed that all the tees was temporary. And one hole basically closed due to hole alterations

Yes a good day out

Great place to play golf

The course was great, greens were kept well given the winter conditions. They were upfront about improvements to one hole, we had a great time getting round! Scenery was lovely and we were lucky with the weather. Would definitely come back to play!

We were stuck behind a society who were in buggies and flying their balls in all directions. Fairway grass was long and greens very slow. Course is quite plain, with not many interesting features.

Challenging course in the autumn and plays quite long. Weather was a bit damp and greens were slightly slower than normal but ran true . Layout is interesting and you have to think your way round which I enjoy . Great fun

Won’t play it again

Course in very poor condition. Bunkers shocking state and as group of 16 had to decide they were out of play. Fairways not cut. Golfballs lost on them! Greens spiked but not rolled. Fairways had lots GUR. Club allowed buggies to be used on wet course which ruined already poor Fairways. Very disappointed in course. Shop helpful but having spent large monies on prizes from shop they gave no acknowledgement as a thank you. Overall golf course was very very poor.

Course has been kept in great condition !! A nice long course and some challenging holes

we enjoyed the course and loved the back nine. Some greens were poor quality

Loved every minute of our 4 rounds even though I didn't play particularly well. Speed of play was excellent, course was a good challenge and in very good condition

Some very good holes and some not very interesting, a bit of a slog. They had just cored the greens and were in the process of top dressing so the first day there was quite a lot of sand laying on the surface but was much better the next day. Because they used the micro-tynes and brushed the greens it did not really have too much of an effect on putting except reducing the speed a bit.

The tee boxes need some maintenance and it is not good when you are playing off a couple of tees from mats. However aside from that the course was very well maintained. The greens had been hollow tined but ran well with limited bobbles which was better than expected. An excellent separate clubhouse too. Speed of play could have been better for the length of course, but I can also see why a little slow if you have a big hitter in the group as some of the par 4s were reachable. However, a really good golf test for sure and exceptional value for money

Good course

The first round was excruciatingly slow, took us 5.5 hours - in fact we walked in after 17 holes because we could see the 18th had 8 people on it! We begged for an earlier time for the Sunday and got 11am and it only took 3.5 hours and was delightful. The course was excellent and the upkeep very good. If it wasn't for the golf we would not have stayed.

If you like a challenge, this is the course for you. The last four or five holes are long, just as you are getting tired, and those last holes up and down too, but it is a course full of interest. I'd play here again, quite happily.

Course was in great condition although surprised we had to use a couple of temp tee boxes especially at this time of year. A good course for a range of abilities, fairly forgiving but in general we had a great weekend playing golf at this course

Golf facilities were poor due to Covid 19 reasons. The course was extremely muddy and we were unable to clean our golf trolley’s or shoes due to closure of cleaning area and changing rooms. But the course was enjoyable though muddy and the greens were well maintained.

Course condition wasnt the best, but it was October. Pro shop not very friendly and the members are not very welcoming to visitors. A 4 ball of over 65's had 2 clear holes and refused to let our 3 ball play through.

Course was in good condition and is great for all types of players. I went with my wife who really enjoyed the par 3 & 4s but find the par 5s a challenge. Would recommend and would love to play this course in the summer.

Amazing course The only down side of things was there tee boxes but that’s like that at a lot of the golf clubs. Greens was fantastic. Definitely be coming back to play again and would definitely recommend it.

Nice course,greens a bit worn in places,but worth playing Good value for moneyshot 85 12h/c

First time playing the course, it was a lovely course. The greens were in good condition and ran true. The course was overall in great condition despite heavy traffic for this time of year. Will be returning in the future.

Tee boxes not in good condition which was a little off putting but apart from that course was very good

I think this course needs to be played a few times to get the feel of it. To be fair though, the conditions we played in, mid March, where we had gale force winds and hailstones, probably didn't do the course justice. The fairways were amazingly well kept. We couldn't believe the condition with all the rain we'd had. There are some very long holes and there's not an easy Par 3 on the course. Enjoy hole number 1, as this is the easiest par 3. To be fair though, in less hurricane conditions, the par 3's may be a touch easier. So my experience may be a little skewed, so don't let it deter you from giving it a go. We will definitely be returning for another crack. Enjoy!!
