The wettest round of golf I've ever played. Course should have been closed... surly staff... awful!

The Wiltshire hotel,golf and country club

The hotel facilities were ok but some rooms couldn't get hot water which after playing golf is vital with some of our party had to use the firmness centre for a shower. The golf course conditions were the worst our party have experienced with conditions caused by poor maintenance the excuse being the lack of green staff, tee boxes not mowed or tee positions not moved, fairways not mown so you got no run on the ball and greens suffering from disease with bare patches in places, overall a very very poor golfing experience and would recommend giving this venue a 0 out of 10.

Golf weekend

Reading some of the previous reviews, we were a bit concerned that the course would be terrible, and whilst it’s not The Belfry, you get what you pay for. A couple of greens had dodgy patches, but in the main the course was in great condition, even holding up against the storm we had. Very challenging, the 17th is a great hole, if you can’t hit your tee shot more than 250, you’ll have to lay up! Hotel was fine. Bar and restaurant were nice and the staff were great. Would certainly go back.

We played here today after a gap of some two years when the course was in much better condition. Today it should not have been open as there was surface water on all the fairways although the greens were ok. Also the grass has been left long on both the tees and the fairways making play extremely difficult. I believe that there are new owners and the hotel shows signs of wear and tear also facilities have been affected with kitchen closed this morning. We will not play here again.

Getting back to its best. A superb summer course, love it now it's firmed up. Green keepers are doing a fantastic job, best condition for a good while. Well done to the team.

Highly unsatisfactory

Lets start with arrival. No good sign posting to show you where you had to enter reception (they were using a different entrance on this day). Greeted by one bloke who is running the golf with no pro shop (who by the way had no idea about golf), and also running the bar area with 10-12 people already waiting for a coffee. 25 mins later we could finally move to the first tee. THE COURSE HAS TO BE CLOSED. We pre paid, and we were told after booking, that the course is extremely wet so if we change our mind we can re book for another day. Balls getting plugged on every shot, and i mean every shot. And this wasn't after any particularly heavy rain. 4 holes played we had had enough and asked for our money back because we didn't know it would be anywhere near this bad. Just to find out NO REFUNDS. No wonder they don't close the course because they already have your money. We had to drive over an hour to play and now have to come back and play that clown course again at a later date. Maybe put it on your website that the course is unplayable before you take peoples non-refundable money. Added note: The members hate it. They have gone from 350 members to 40 in 3 years. Says it all. Don't play here. £25 down the drain.

Some positives:
Greens were actually very good, but that is clutching at straws due to the fact everything else was bad on the day.
Definitely has the makings of a good course but that's just because of the greens. Stones in bunkers and again, no sign posts to show where the next tee is.

The course is in as good a condition now than it has been for a few years. The greenskeepers have done a fantastic job and it's a pleasure to play.

Its a shame more people aren't playing the course, wish the management would get up to speed with how to run the club

Good but could be great.

I liked this course. It has interesting and varied holes, with some tricky greens set in the very pleasant Wiltshire countryside, and it's a good challenge for a recreational mid handicapper like me. The only negative is that it could do with some care and attention, especially the greens, which were not in great condition. The clubhouse has a large bar/dining area and there are good changing facilities, so no complaints there. I understand it has recently come under new ownership, so I would urge the new management to get the course into top condition because if you do, you'll have a suberb golfing venue.
