Wokefield Estate Golf Course
Berkshire is renowned for its idyllic countryside, and Wokefield Estate's tranquil surroundings are no different, resulting in a beautiful place to play golf. With no fewer than nine lakes littered around the course, there is no shortage of difficulty for visiting golfers to negotiate, but the outstanding surroundings should be enough to alleviate the pain of any disappointing golf.
The course is carved through elevated trees and mature oaks, along manicured fairways and immaculate putting surfaces. Besides the abundance of water, Gaunt has incorporated and abundance of huge bunkers throughout the course which place an emphasis on course management. Be warned, the rough is very penal if you stray from the fairways – so take plenty of golf balls!
There are several memorable holes throughout the round, particularly the par 5s, which require three good shots to have any chance of making birdie. The 9th is a classic risk/reward hole, where an ambitious drive over the water can leave a wedge to the green on this 450 yard dogleg.
Wokefield Estate is home to an excellent practice complex and driving range, where the PGA professionals offer expert technical guidance.
Signature Hole: 12th – (Par 3, 195 yards)
While the par 5s are all great challenges, it’s the par 3 12th that is worthy of a postcard. You’ll need a crisply struck medium-to-long iron to carry the glistening water that stands between you and the safety of the green. Even if you find the putting surface in regulation, the green’s severe undulations will make you work for your par. A terrific and beautiful golf hole.

20 of us stayed for a golf get together which was made all the better by the hotel . We had a very easy check in process , the rooms weee smallish but in good condition very clean. We had dinner and breakfast and both were excellent.

Thank you … we were a bit underwhelmed uo on arrival as you visit the website you see county house and cozy … coming in after a nice day at the golf but wet we thought we were at the wrong place

The hotel was set in wonderful grounds which really make you forget how close to major roads you are. The grounds are vast and for anyone with mobility problems, be wary of the distances needed to walk from accommodation and breakfast and dinner which are eaten at different places. The room was OK, nothing out of the ordinary. The food again was just OK; breakfast was nice but dinner was a buffet with little choice. As a chain hotel, the prices for food and beverages was slightly expensive. Staff were helpful. Overall, considering the price paid, the quality of the room, food and golf was not up to what we expected and I would not recommend to others.
10 / 10
Hotel as a whole very good experience.
Buffet menu was really good.
Staff were excellent.

Fantastic hotel and staff. Breakfast is a real scrum even at 10.00. Could do with an extra coffee/ tea machine. Staff though were absolutely top notch and so friendly.
10 / 10
The hotel is really well run and has pretty much all you need on-site. The rooms are comfortable and clean and the staff are very friendly and always ready to help. The food was good and there was more than enough of it as well. The bar area is comfortable and more than big enough to accomodate a large number of patrons. TV's on most of the walls also ensure there is sport on at all times.

Excellent bar with tv for sport. Food and drink good. Air con unit in the room didn’t work properly, main negative
8 / 10
Very well appointed hotel. Clean room, air cooling but no air con. All provided services were high quality. Good food but, due to the number of other guests booked on the Friday night, all the golfers were not allowed in the dining room and were provided a self service buffet in a separate area, which was disappointing, although the food was still good.
10 / 10
Well kept hotel and facilities. The receptionist, Drew, was extremely helpful is resolving any issues.

Stayed at De Vere Wokefield Estate for 2 nights and played 3 rounds of golf. Hotel was more than we expected.
The staff at this hotel were welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The rooms were immaculate and very comfortable. We also enjoyed a really good buffet breakfast each morning with plenty of variety. Evening buffet meal wasn’t a large selection but was very good with nothing to complain about.
8 / 10
It's a clean and comfortable hotel, rooms are nice and the bar and restaurant offer good food and drinks, the staff in the pro shop were friendly and very helpful. Only small grumble is the halfway house wasn't open on day one and when it was open, didn't have simply things like sausage rolls or bottles of water, we are already looking to book for next year and hope they can get the small issues sorted.

The hotel is really nice. The food was very good and the staff were really friendly. The breakfast was also excellent.
The rooms were really comfortable. Be careful though, the shower floor is very slippy - make sure you use the non slip mat provided!!
My only negative is that they do not sell any proper ale in the bar.

Every one of the staff we encountered, without exception, could not have been more pleasant or willing to help if it was required in a crisis. The problem is that there should not have been any crisis to start with. The estate is enormous, and we, as golfers—10 of us and married couples of an age—slept on one edge of the estate, ate on the other side of the estate for dinner, and had breakfast in the middle. Thank goodness it wasn't raining! One of our rooms was not serviced, loo rolls were at a premium, we had to knock on doors for a spare roll, one of the showers was blocked and had sewage smells.The venue was immensely busy with thousands of cars and nowhere to park. Frankly, we felt we were in the way plus there was a male group of golfers we befriended who had the same experience as ourselves. Complaints were listened too and we were compensated in different ways such as a reduction on golf buggies charge etc. Extremely high bar prices! Shaun in the pro shop returned from leave to help us out but he should not have been put in that position. From looking at the venue online and booking with high expectations the reality upon arrival was quite different. Disappointing overall.

It was with some trepidation that we booked Wokefield Park, last year they bounced us a week before we visited and we transferred to Old Thorns. It seems they had had a better offer!
This year again we came second fiddle to the almighty BMW who were holding a massive conference there. It came to a head when we went to the restaurant on the first night. It took us 1/2 hour to get an order placed another half an hour to get a drink and a further 30 mins before food arrived around 9 o'clock. Not even an offer of a bread roll to keep us going! We complained bitterly around 3 times, finally an assistant duty manager came and offered an apology and under pressure offered to give us compensation of a couple of bottles of wine and free liquers!
The food when it came was good, but they never really gave us fuoll explanation of the delay, we just realized that we were second to BMW.
Would we go back? Maybe if we could be sure that we were not going to be 2nd class citizens

Absolutely superb hotel with staff that couldn’t do enough for you.

Beautiful setting.
Staff extremely helpful especially ‘Emelie’, on Reception who was fantastic!
Breakfast was slightly chaotic as a large wedding group staying also and queue for Tea/Coffee was so long, some gave up.
Otherwise excellent stay and will return.
10 / 10
The food was excellent. The rooms were of a high quality and the staff were extremely helpful.
6 / 10
The hotel & facilities were overall good. It felt very clean and welcoming. The staff were either very helpful or didn't want to help at all. Some members came across rude. It seemed like they were more eager to help them guests in suits rather than the ones in golf tops. The meal in the evening was extremely limited both nights. Those guests who ate meat were disappointed with the dryness and tasteless options, then the ones who have a plant based diet... well they only had a poor option of potatoes and peas for dinner on 1 night. No option of a plant based desert either. Even for the buffet breakfast the only hot plant based options were beans and hash browns. We have left a complaint and alternatives to the hotel about this and hope that they change it for future vegan guests.

Well it was advertised as de veer Hotel,with nice twin rooms,but ended up next door,on entry only a double bed,had to get it changed for a twin,eat in restaurant first night, then told to eat in a room with a buffet dinner second night,no choice,very upset with the false or no information, to be honest I think you should be ashamed of yourself for advertising this,and at that price was a total rip off for what we got,not what I booked for my 56th birthday,very upset,and will not book another trip with you.

Good , clean and well staffed hotel. Wedding on Saturday in central area made bar access difficult for a while.
Do t understand why every plug in the room is unplugged - had to crawl under desk to plug in tablelamp, otherwise room was comfortable.
6 / 10
The hotel internally has had a lot of work done on it but the exterior seems to not have been given the same attention. The area around the Manor House is good but the hotel element is as nice. The staff in the bar are very slow and there was only one member of staff serving on a Saturday night. It took us 20 minutes to get a drink, there was only one table of 5 and a group of lads but this meant that ordering drinks took far longer than it should.
10 / 10
The whole place was amazing lovely rooms overlooking the golf course food was great I can recommend the buffalo wings and the huge burger and large choice of dessert crème brûlée was lovely the golf course was challenging but in good condition would revisit
10 / 10
A perfect venue for a three day golf break. Staff, Rooms, golf shop all rated 5 star.
8 / 10
Lovely location. Rooms comfortable. Fantastic breakfast. We had dinner in the Mansion House which was nice and the staff were all very helpful and friendly. As a resort hotel, the bar prices were on the high side, but that was to be expected.
10 / 10
Nice all round hotel. Rooms, lobby, bars and restaurants all good.
Would return for a future visit
6 / 10
Have stayed a few times as like the course. Only downside is that the breakfast is never very warm
6 / 10
I have issued a formal complaint to your golf travel regarding the whole of the 2 day and 1 night stay. Mix up with rooms caused a significant embarrassment check in staff extremely slow and incompetent example telling us we didn’t book enough rooms when we did. Example giving 2 different couples the same keys to one room
8 / 10
Very efficient and enjoyable stay. Good sized rooms with comfortable beds and a surprisingly good 'Golf Menu' for dinner for our group of 10. Service was a little patchy but 'keen' but the food served was excellent. Well presented and delicious.
10 / 10
Very polite and helpful staff. Restaurant and bar excellent but a little slow service at the bar but the outside area on a sunny evening made up for it
10 / 10
The hotel was beautiful and clean modern and very well maintained, The staff was lovely and made us all feel welcomed and couldn't do enough for you.

Hotel seemed understaffed.
Took 30/40 minutes to get something to eat at lunch
At buffet there was no drinks service so you had to go to golf bar to order.

Modern, comfortable and spotlessly clean hotel with good sized rooms and comfortable beds. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Food was excellent and breakfast was great. There were 24 of us and not one complaint.
8 / 10
Decent rooms, bar and breakfast. Not a fan of the self service evening meal with just pork chop or chicken thigh as meat, but there we are....Did have to remind staff to add the YGT group discount at virtually every trip to bar - but worth checking!!
8 / 10
Hotel was comfortable and well serviced, food was good especially the breakfast.

Very nice accommodation with great spaces to relax either for a coffee or a beer. The spa also looked very good but didn’t get time to use it. Rooms were a decent size, modern and comfortable.
8 / 10
The rooms were brilliant! Only thing is they don’t have much options apart from a small fan when it’s 32 degrees! none of the party slept well as too hot but otherwise rooms were clean beds comfortable

We were a group of eight ladies having fun and playing golf for a few days. We were happy with our rooms and overall our stay. The staff was really great. Thank you.

Fantastic hotel, beautifully decorated.
Sports bar was well located by the 18th green and far enough away from the restaurant.
Friendly staff.

Together with 35 of our party of golfers we had an overnight stay at the De Vere on the Sunday/ Monday 13/14/ August and I know the vast majority enjoyed our stay at the hotel. A little hiccup was on Sundays there is only a help yourself buffet and it was fine overall. The accommodation was very good and the price we paid for the accommodation and 2 games of golf was exceptionally competitive. The staff and organisation and professionalism was first class Our bacon butties on our arrival came bang on time which was pretty good as there were 36 of us. Booking on was easy. The location was great and took about 2hrs to get there from Cardiff/Penarth.
10 / 10
Fantastic value for money. Great food, great hotel and great golf.

Everything perfect from booking with chas to checking out, nothing else to say, brilliant time had by all 20 of us👍
8 / 10
We found the hotel to be more than required for a golf break. The rooms are clean with a good shower. The restaurant food was very good, even though the bar menu was on the pricey side. It's biggest plus was the staff, form the bars to the restaurant the staff are young well trained, polite and very attentive. Special mentions go to Mainak Das in the restaurant and Phoebe and Olivia in the bar.
6 / 10
The hotel has a major problem with communication between departments. Very little agreed with the 'golf reservations' folk was actually in place in the hotel. From the set up of the tables for dinner to the provision of the preordered wine at almost every step I had to micro manage the situation. We will not be returning.
10 / 10
Very nice accommodation, food also very nice!
8 / 10
Food and Beverage department were excellent, no one really knew what the YGT dinner meant (it doesn't it means an allowance, and that's where its fun! - reception said £26, restaurant said £27 and the bill said £25 - with mains at £19+ average it means a main and ice cream)
10 / 10
Excellent hotel and facilities, staff very attentive and helpful.
Buffet service was very good.
Outside areas were excellent especially the patio area outside the golf shop.
Only downside was the rooms were very warm but considering the weather unless there was air conditioning this could not be helped.
8 / 10
Bedrooms fine. Swimming pool excellent. Staff helpful. Breakfast would have been very good but the food was not got, shame. evening dinner was generally considered by all to be poor.
6 / 10
The hotel is OK, no better and no worse than you would expect for the money, but the food for dinner was the worst we have had on any golf trip. We would not come back.
8 / 10
Pleasant stay one night is enough
6 / 10
We expected to stay in the Manor House as all of the photos imply. This wasn't the case. We were in a completely different building. We didn't get to dine in the restaurant as we were put in "the pantry" which is a self service buffet. There was only 1 bar open which meant very long queues. All pleasant enough if a bit disappointing
8 / 10
Really interesting course, shame it was so wet, would like to go back oil summer. Dinner was good, given £26.00 allowance, but it cost a lot more than that to eat, would have been better as like most trips that meal is fully inclusive with package. Breakfast was buffet and a best, Warm, which was a bit disappointing. The staff though were more than helpful. The bar run out of certain draught beers and cider, which then limited choices
8 / 10
Staff were excellent, especially as my wife is handicapped. Family enjoyed all the facilities available. Bar staff did not always take off the 20% as we were on a golf package.
10 / 10
Hotel very go
8 / 10
Overall no issues with the hotel, had some minor issues but were able to sort these out at the time without any particular inconvenience
8 / 10
Good value for money overall. Drinks and food a bit expensive but made up by the lower upfront room and food rate
6 / 10
Our room could have been cleaner and it was generally a bit tired. Bed comfortable though.
10 / 10
Nothing to criticise, everything you need from the staff and hotel. Plus a discount at the bar for golfers, £5 a pint very good near London and good selection of drinks.
8 / 10
The staff is friendly. Two guys in our group had to pull out last minute, the hotel said they would give us vouchers so we don’t loose the money on the rooms. However the booking was through a third party, so I had to ask Yourgolftravel to contact the hotel to make arrangements. Yourgolftravel was not interested helping, so although the break was good I would not use this agency again.
6 / 10
Looked quite tired and ridiculous that breakfast finished at 9.30 and the bar closed at 10.30 considering the hundreds of men there waiting to spend money , also mad you could not buy a single bar snack or the half way house was closed
8 / 10
Breakfast was good. Dinner buffet very poor quality and food not very warm. Reception staff were excellent
4 / 10
When we booked in they could not find our booking . Took 15 minutes . Not under Andrew Brunswick was under something like Andrew 1.
We were not booked in for dinner . They got us a bar table and we had to sit in the corridor outside the entrance to the restaurant. Restaurant fully booked . Took them ages to find us again on the computer. Food was poor 4/10 I would give it . We asked for salt and pepper it never came . We eventually got our wine while we were eating our pudding . Had to chase it up before the wine arrived .
4 / 10
Bar had no draft beer on because apparently the manager had not ordered enough. To top it off the my ran out of bottled beers and ciders that our group was drinking too! We were basically left with whatever bottles they had in the cellar. Poor poor bar management. Front of house staff were so embarrassed. 7 twin rooms we booked and out of that one was set up as a double, one shower didn’t work at all and was never fixed through out the 3 night stay and 2 rooms toilets didn’t flush!! One room was swapped on the last night and the other was never fixed and no communication from hotel about after complaint raised on the first evening of the stay! Shocking bar management, shocking admin staff for the hotel. Restaurant supervisor Jamie was an absolute star all weekend and Sam behind the bar was a legend too as we’re most front of house staff. Management need to be taken to one side and given a good talking to!
10 / 10
Fabulous place to stay excellent staff and food was good only downfall was the bar running out of beer on tap from Saturday
8 / 10
Everything was OK except only 2 beers on tap as ,changing suppliers!!!!!, not good for the middle of August with weddings and conferences going on
Food was good except the steak ,dry and chewy

The accommodation was clean and well appointed. There were several places on site to eat. The best being the View Restaurant. As part of the package it would have been good to have the option to choose which to eat in.
The pool, gym and sauna was of a high standard, but requires lockers to make it easy to store items.
The outdoor areas were nice places to relax and were spaced around the hotel.
It would benefit the customer if wrist bands were supplied to identify that you were a golf package guest and subject to 20% off drinks. This would mean that we wouldn't have to explain this to the staff each time a drink was purchased.
6 / 10
Nice hotel but rooms very hot & food terrible
4 / 10
On a two night stay for most of us, especially given the single supplement most of us paid, we expected that our rooms would be serviced after the first night, but no. We returned to our rooms with unmade beds, wet towels, no replenishment of coffee, tea, etc., It was well into the evening of day two that anything was done, and that after numerous complaints.
Breakfast was, for the early bird, excellent BUT after some two plus hours under a hot lamp those down later for breakfast were rewarded with cremated bacon, hard baked fried eggs, etc.etc.,
The main lobby had water filling stations BUT again these seem to be refilled once a day, but when?
The evening meal was a buffet delight, NOT. If you arrive late, we had no option due to tee off times, you might be lucky and get some food selection was either sea bass or beef brisket, but no beef! If you don’t like mashed potato then hard luck!
Then there was the 20% discount on any purchases. Why was this not advised to us before arriving or signing in? Why did we have to keep repeating the fact we were there as a society playing golf?
This was our 16th weekend away and having really looked forward to this event we were all bitterly disappointed; never had to complain before.
Finally, £4 for chunky chips? In my tiny basket there were 16 chips! That’s 30p a chip, or six bob in real money, REALLY?
I suggest the hotel owners make a visit, unannounced, go to breakfast say at 9:30 and experience it. The in the evening experience the ‘buffet’ meal.

Hotel was great, dinner & breakfast were great , sports bar was perfect for watching sport pool and beer . Only downside was we arrived at 11 and struggled to get something to eat , but farm shop (10mins) did a fabulous brekkie

Another fantastic trip organised again by Barry Ross , our 11 trip through him and another successful one 👍the hotel was really nice , the staff from the pro shop to the bar were very friendly and helpful too , would definitely recommend a stay here

Hotel really good and great value for money

While we enjoyed our stay, the room was not serviced we had to ask for dry towels which took a trip to the reception to finally get, a broken toilet seat was never fixed after complaining many times and flying across the bathroom if not careful, the Irish guy at reception is condescending and unhelpful and really doesn’t care, except if your a stunning blonde female as we watched him go to pieces and upgrade her to the best rooms in the hotel.
6 / 10
Facilities, food and room were all good. However, check-in took about 45 mins and restaurant was short staffed at dinner and breakfast time resulting in poor experience.
8 / 10
A group of 14 golfers, arrived early, pre check in sorted, played golf then checked into our rooms, no problems, rooms were fine no issues for a two night break, buffet breakfast plenty of choice, and evening meals there were enough to choose from although limited to £25 pp, considering there was a huge Indian wedding function taking place during our stay, the staff were extremely busy but we got our meals without to much delay.
You can always find faults, but nothing that would stop me from returning again.

This venue has real issues. The staff are overworked and there is no management to be found. There seems to be no coordination at all and confusion about our booking. We stayed in the Manor House and the rooms are lovely so no issue there but no one knew what our arrangements were …time consuming. The staff really worked to make up for it and they deserve a medal for their good spirit.

Stayed in Wellington Lodge, a separate building a few mins walk from the main hotel and golf course. Rooms were spotlessly clean, well stocked with tea and coffee and comfortable beds. Hotel looked to have been recently refurbished and looked modern, clean and spacious. Restaurant had a good selection of tasty food and drinks, fairly reasonably priced.

Unfortunately we were staying in Wokefield Place, the 'conference centre' and golf society accommodation rather than the Mansion House. WP was suffering from a severe shortage of staff due to a lot of them contracting Covid at Reading festival. This meant we had long queues at the bar, had to get out own drinks from the bar when in the restaurant and they struggled to open both restaurant areas for breakfast even though there were too many people for the View restaurant upstairs. The staff who were there did their best, especially Chloe the waitress in the Pantry restaurant on Saturday evening.
The rooms were clean and the housekeeping staff were helpful. Bathrooms were a bit small.
If you are looking for something cosy, WP is not the place to go. It has plenty of 'breakout areas' and it's very light and airy with a vaulted 'Avenue' down the middle but I thought it was reminiscent of an airport lounge.

Absolutely perfect for a golf break

This was our second golf break and stay at the De Vere. As before, the staff were friendly and efficient. Our room was clean and comfortable.

We complained about the extreme prices of drinks, £15 for a glass of wine is extreme. We were also not made aware of how to claim our discount on drinks. We sorted it out in the end.
We also complained about no hot water in the afternoons, after golf.
The quality of the food was also not very good at all with limited choice.

The hotel rooms were adequate, however the rooms were not serviced during our 2 night stay. When I asked why I was told this was due to COVID. This wasn’t explained when we checked in and a number of our party had to go to reception to request clean towels and additional tea and coffee making items.

Food service was slow and bar staff not very helpful. Also took last orders early. Didn’t tell us we had to book restaurant although package said buffet restaurant it wasn’t and we had a credit which meant a booking was required
10 / 10
Spacious rooms very clean. Not cleaned while we were there but did not bother us at all. Felt safer. Reception replenished anything we needed on asking. Food in restraunt very good but would have liked more choice as quite a few items not on menu. No chicken 2 nights running. Then ran out of orange juice. Waiting staff were great working really hard. They were pushed at the weekend as had 3 weddings. But coped best they could.

Very welcoming staff and in bars/restaurants - Excellent Sports Bar! Food was good and enough variety for a short stay. Very clean and Covid safe in all areas & prompt response regarding any housekeeping matters. We would not have found it though if it wasn't for our reliable satnav. Overall excellent value for money and would definitely recommend.

Accommodation OK, although room not large and storage space limited and minimal. Double bed is also not as large as used to. Comfortable and well positioned. Staff very friendly and helpful in restaurant, reception and golf shop. Value for money in restaurant excellent during the pandemic because dinner could not be buffet (on dinner B&B golf break). Allowed 3 course dinner from a la carte menu, which was very good.

Always a great venue and a challenging golf course

I had a good welcoming on my arrival that set a good start to the day
we all in joyed the course, and would recommend it
the meals where fine and enjoyably
the bar was a bit of a let down as on the Sunday as they run out of some of the drinks
there was a bit of a set back
on the first day on arriving i parked my Van in the car park in front of reception about 50 yards away
we had our round of Golf
and when i got back someone had broken in to my van, Damaging the drivers handle and lock, opened the back of the van looking for any tools they could find , but they only managed to take a few items, i tell the staff at reception they took a few note but the feeling was they could not care less
i thought they would offer to pay for the damage if nothing else but No nothing So don`t take a Van
What a shame

The room and Facilities were excellent
The food in the restaurant was not enough every time more came out everyone was waiting and it was gone again immediately,

Excellent value for money. Staff were very helpful and food was good. Rooms at the BMW academy were basic but more than adequate for a golf weekend.

Twin rooms were a tsmall for two grown men, but neat and tidy and well looked after. The food was exceptional value unless you wanted bar snacks and these were very expensive, which took the gloss off our experience. There was a big Sales Convention on at the same time as our visit and apart from a crowded breakfast and lunch, they didn't impinge on our enjoyment to any great extent

The stay at the hotel was fine however the experience in the restaurant spoiled an otherwise enjoyable weekend. Both evenings the restaurant ran out of food by 9pm, in particular the main choices in the buffet. When the hotel is aware of groups of people booked in for a certain time it should be able to provide food for them. In addition, breakfast was a similar experience. again food had ran out by 9.30am, no bread for toast, tables not cleared or set. Pretty much a complete shambles! The staff however were very accommodating and where asked for assistance provided a high level of service.
