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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
