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

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.

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'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

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.

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

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.

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.

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!!
