Had a one night stay, 2 rounds of golf. Without being spectacular, the overall experience at the hotel was superb. This was in large part down to the wonderful staff...whoever recruits and trains these professional and friendly people needs an award. Worried about the dreaded " buffet breakfast" but it was extensive and fresh. Good swimming pool and large pleasant room .

Nice and comfy and great to actually have two double beds rather than single twin beds (this has happened before and definitely not comfy) Breakfast and dinner in the cast iron grill was great and the staff were very attentive. Food quality was very good. Seeing as we was there on a Friday and Saturday was quite surprised to see the sports bar pretty much empty on the evening but plenty of seating and screens Drinks prices are a little steep but guess this is what you get when visiting bigger golfing resorts.

Bar closed at 11pm (on a Thursday night?) and there was an acute shortage of decent good quality wine. Asked for 4 bottles of Sancerre for the table being a group of 12 to be advised they only had 3 in stock whilst the Argentinian Malbec we ordered was not available at all.

Food on the floor and seats after table tops were cleared, tatty veneered and wonky tables, upholstery rubbed away on the seat backs. Staff in the main restaurant unhelpful, drinks very slow to arrive, food warm but not hot. Nice puddings at dinner and a good Maitre D at breakfast, pleasant receptionist on checkout.

Lovely Manor House and grounds. Our two double bedrooms were in the Orchard Wing on top floor of three. Lift broken so had to go back to Reception to arrange porterage to help with luggage. These room quite dark with very small windows and warm at night, fan in room helped. One large double bed with feather mattress topper and duvet so very warm. Bathroom worn fittings but everything worked. Evening Menu very limited and odd that set price menu on package almost mirrored the Al A Carte available for a £10 supplement. Steak was good. Premium draft beer and larger not available across both Main and Spike Bar outlets, beer in one and larger in another, why? Restaraunt staff did obtain from Spike, thank you. Breakfast was good, order fresh eggs at your table as only scrambled on the served buffet. Used the pool, excellent. Prebooking required for one hour timed slot. Overall the room and dining experience was below par for a Premium Hotel and did not represent value for money. Whilst we accept that some limitations are required by Covid safeguarding we are not paying a reduced rate. Staff were helpful and friendly across all services. The hotel will need to modernise and lift its dining experience if it is to compete with Brockett Hall and other premium Hotels in the area.

Bar closed at 11pm and last orders at 10.30, we thought a little early to be fair. Also the bar had a TV, yet only had BBC and ITV euro games, and no golf via sky? Seems odd for a golf resort.

The food in the main restaurant in the evening and breakfast were very good. One big downside was the service charge on every bill.

Dinner was acceptable but with a limited menu and no upgrade available, again the setting was dismal for such a lovely building The staff were excellent The golf course could’ve been excellent but suffers with poor drainage and we happened to hit it after a wet spell. Greens had been cores and dressed, unavoidable but a shame. Unless there’s summer run on the fairways I would recommend the yellow tees for mid handicappers as the whites are 500 yards longer and it’s noticed. Would come back post Covid and hope the dining and bar experience is improved.

Our golf round started at 12 so we arrived round 11:30 and the non-golfers were not permitted access to the spa, even though we had been told they could. We had to plead with the reception staff for an exception to this rule before they were finally let in. This was very poor service and made the non-golfers feel like 2nd rate citizens.

The course is a lot more testing than you would think given the green speed, undulations and summer bounce of the fairways. We all felt it was get able for a good score, but only two players from sixteen got a round to handicap. It is well worth playing. The club shop could be more welcoming, the practice facilities were continually running out of balls and baskets and the half way hut was shut (in peak summer, when we were told it would be open). My complaint to this was that the halfway hut is not part of the hotel or golf set up and there is little they can do - astonishing.

The round was unfortunately ruined by the pace of play - 4 hours 50 minutes on the Saturday (walking) then 2 hours 45 minutes for 9 holes on the Sunday (with carts). On the Sunday we walked off after 9 holes because it was just way too slow. The course itself is really good - a lot of interesting holes with interesting dog legs. Th water features on the holes make it very scenic (#2 and #17 standout!). Bunkers and greens were in great condition. I'd play it again if they didn't overbook the golf course.

Hanbury is a course i have played a few times, the front 9 is a winding and undulating ride with a lot of open fairways. The greens were in great condition considering the recent weather. Off the greens the fairways were in good condition but they hadn't drained very well in places which meant there were some opportunities for winter style pick-and-place. We were in buggies and the speed of play on the saturday was a little slow, i imagine walking groups held up earlier on and there are some 'bottlenecks' in the course where groups gather up due to longer walks. The back 9 contrasts the front 9 being a lot more flat but seemingly introducing a lot more direct water exposure. Both compliment eachother nicely and it was a lovely round. I have a feeling that if the course was in this condition in April (post a week of heavy rain) by the summer this is going to be absolutely stunning this year.

Checked into golf by a man wearing a mask over his mouth but not nose. Not a good start. Had a snack - a plate of squid, hummus and flatbread plus 2 beers £30. Dirty floor, food not cleaned up, tatty, chipped veneer tables, dusty table legs. Generally poor. Course was got off to a good start by the helpful starter. The course was interesting hole by hole, some long walks between greens and tees, generally in good condition. Slower than we expected on the greens. No Marshall keeping play moving despite being assured there was one. Some corporate numpties on the course who looked like they’d never golfed before. Really not ideal for a decent club golfer to follow. As with the hotel … it’s about keeping the money coming in

24 of us played 2 rounds as per of a DB&B option. Everyone loved the course and I had no complaints at all. Some of the holes have a bit of a walk between green and next tee, especially 9th to 10th (5 min walk). My only issue is the cost of buggies. At £40 a pop they are the most expensive buggy’s I’ve ever come across. Ok if you’re sharing, but if not 2 rounds will set you back a whopping £80 !!!!

Two mixed pairs played two rounds. All good players with low to mid handicaps. Course design is fantastic with pin positions on elevated greens key to degree of difficulty. You have to think your way round this course and be prepared to use every club in the bag. Despite very heavy overnight rain on the first night the course still played well on day two. Greens had been vertidrained and still played true with decent speed. Marshall available on day two provided pace metres to everyone. We are fast so not an issue for us. Bunkers well placed and free draining. Very high rough in many places bordering fairways but most balls lost in quite low cut areas as ball nestled down out of sight. Dispiriting when a good shot played but lost a yard off fairway. Switched to yellow balls which helped locate. Good irrigation coverage evident but tee turf showed disease, odd? Buggies were new electric, expensive at £40 when no course navigation available. Would I play it again, definitely yes. A few holes still to conquer and four ProV1s still out there somewhere!

The course was in fantastic condition, particularly the fairways. The 3 levels of cuts round the greens were also a joy to experience, especially so early in the season. There is a great variation of hole layouts and green complexes - a very enjoyable course. If I had to put my finger on one thing it would be the appalling state of the driving range. The mates are seemingly 5 years old, weathered and rock hard. This would be ok if we were then allowed to hit from the turf, but this was not allowed when we were there. This really lets an otherwise great golf resort down as there is no way to warm up properly before the round. It just feels so at odds with the vibe of the rest of the place, which is top notch. The range is barely worthy of a local public course with no funding. Very strange...
