De Vere Wokefield Estate

When we arrived, I thought we were staying in the old Manor house, but we actually stayed in a new facility which was full of children and pets. I thought the facility would be more up market. There was a swimming pool that I thought partner could use which was full of children jumping and leaping about. The gymnasium was inadequate and not fit for purpose. We never got to use sauna. I could put this down as my fault as I did not investigate the place adequately enough. The biggest problem was the room. It was like sleeping in a sauna. I never slept. It was so hot my partner and I decided to leave the next morning. I played a few holes on the Sunday but decided I'd had enough. Got my partner a traveled home Sunday morning. One more thing when getting prepared for our evening meal we were told we could not eat till 7:30 pm is this normal procedure?

The hotel was ok. Facilities were good. The food in the evening wasn’t amazing but what can you expect for a limited size buffet. Drinks were expensive and service at the bar was slow at the best of times. Rooms were spacious, clean and beds were comfortable.

Overall the accommodation and food at the hotel was good, staff was helpful and overall nice experience at the hotel. Golf was another matter - see below!! Absolutely disgusting!

Food and drinks were way too expensive- £20 for a Lasagne that was small and microwaved. £6 for a can - a can - of Guinness - hotel was great and food quality was great - just way over priced and so we went out of hotel on last day for food.

Pleasant hotel, modern interior, bar typically a bit Overpriced but nice clean and airy. Food was once again superb.

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.

Hotel as a whole very good experience. Buffet menu was really good. Staff were excellent.

The course was in terrible condition. The usual fairway mower had broken a week before according to the pro shop. This meant whatever they had then cut the fairway with left the grass as long as the rough and all the grass cuttings had also all been left behind. This made it impossible to find your ball after you put one on the fairway. Because of this it made the pace of play incredibly slow because everyone was looking for their balls on the fairway! 5hours 45minutes is far too long for a round of golf. Despite the good weather bunkers were also GUR and no buggies either. The whole experience was disappointing.

Overall it was disgusting - tees were positioned where the ladies are so took out a lot of challenge on the holes - tees were disgusting, muddy, sandy, very poor condition. fairways not been cut for several weeks so couldn’t tell if you are in the rough, balls being lost in middle of hat you can make out as fairways as plugged, bunkers had no sand and ones that did never been raked, greens had a lot of moss on which ball jumped a lot, wasn't worth playing on - then top it off rounds were taking so long!! First round on Saturday took us 5 &1/2 hours then we played yesterday- we decided to play 9 holes only as it took 3 hours so we lost out on a round. Overall very poor experience and wouldn't recommend customers going for the golf - if I could won’t give it a rating as it was in that poor condition. Spoilt the weekend!

Two days of November sunshine - excellent course - good service in club shop - buggy was good although expensive at £40 - not cleaned and no gps

Very good design, some very good holes, whole course a good test and very enjoyable for all handicaps. Greens were Rolling at a good pace, just a shame some areas are showing wear and the need for attention but this by no means spoiled our 3 days of golf. Bunker inconsistency a bit of a shame some firm not much sand mainly due to rain water pooling but others way too much sand often not compacted or raked, mostly not the course fault just lazy players. overall though the course is in good shape especially after another very dry summer.

Whilst it has undoubtedly been a very tough year for courses due to the very dry summer there were numerous tee boxes which were shabby as were a couple of greens . However it was good for mid to high handicappers . The range was good easily accessible and in good condition . All the golf Staff were very helpful and all made us feel welcome.

This was by far the worst course we have played. It is clear the course is not a primary concern for the owners of the estate and this shows from the very first tee box. Appreciating the very hot weather the UK has experienced this summer, we didn’t expect top notch conditions. However, it was apparent the course condition is more than just weather worn, it has been neglected. A number of holes had more bare patches than grass and another had a large mound of mud just beyond the tee box which impaired the view and for those who aren’t big hitters, would be a massive obstacle. The greens were exceptionally slow, not true and covered in bare patches and ridges. Such was our utter disappointment that we paid out of pocket to play at another course on the day we should have played our included second round. It is a shame as the holes are interesting but the course needs serious investment to justify the course fee, let alone be included in a not inexpensive golf break.

Layout was more difficult than slope rating with many bunkers and water hazards. Fairways suffered from dry summer. Green aprons also poor in many places. Six greens approximately diseased . Disappointed as course would have played a lot better without these issues.

So, so slow. Six and a half hours on Saturday and then six on Sunday. The slowest rounds we’ve ever played. Pro shop staff on Saturday were brilliant. Sunday morning was a different matter. Someone should be a traffic warden instead of a pro shop cashier. Sorry, but true. Is this a £60 per round championship course. Well that’s what they charge and it is. But not in our book. It felt like conveyor belt golf whilst your pocket was being dipped. £40 for a buggy. Come on. The most we’d payed is £30 before this weekend, oh, and according to mr Sunday cashier, you can’t have your buggy until 40 minutes before your round. Try lugging your cart bag up to the range and back. Apart from Captain Sunday, the shop and bar staff were brilliant.
