Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort

Large, smart hotel, friendly staff & good food

We were a party of 31 ladies playing golf for 2 days. Everything went greatness. David and histhe staff in golf restaurant/coffee shop was great. Really helpful and friendly

lovely hotel staff very friendly food was good bar on the deer side

Lovely, stylish, comfortable hotel. We felt we had a very good deal by taking a “Sunday driver” and thoroughly enjoyed our mini-break. The breakfast was wonderful and all the staff very pleasant and helpful.

Rooms excellent large and airy very clean, staff very good, food first class, drinks a little pricey.Golf course mmmmm,a few of the tee boxes were a disgrace, greens could hav been better, bunkers, they were something else.... It could be an exception course, where we're the green keepers????. Other than that we all agreed it was a very good weekend.

The course was fine holes 1 to 18 ,19 to 27 not so good .The staff at the clubhouse were very rude and miserable for the 2 days we were there ,the pro was a nice chap very helpful. The staff at the hotel were nice and the rooms were clean and comfortable,the food was very good in the hotel and the clubhouse it was just the staff in the clubhouse which got everyone's back up from the first moment we set foot in the place.

When we booked in we were told there was a £10 surcharge for eating in the hotel restaurant rather than in the club house for our evening meal. The staff told us this was a condition in the small print. However when I retrieved the email no mention of this could I find. Whereas eating in the clubhouse is fine for a group of men etc , we were a group of 4 mixed couples . We managed to get it rescindedbut thought you should know for future reference . We discussed this as a group and decided this condition might prevent us booking oulton hall again as a future venue. However we enjoyed it this time.

Hotel in parts is fantastic with good leisure facilities, but let down by tiredness of carpets, bathrooms new staff with limited training and poor restaurant service. No gin glasses available on 2 consecutive nights in bar - drinks were served in 2 half pint mugs !! With drinks costing over £10 each this is not acceptable for a hotel of this standing.

Tees & greens were rough, scruffy & bumpy. Course was wet overall with extremely wet patches.

Preferred 1-18. 19-27 more difficult I was in a 3 ball both days and was round in just under 4 hours

played all the holes over three days was good bit wet one day greens were slow but the weather wont of helped but over all great condition

Sunday was slow because there were a lot of 4 balls playing but Monday was quieter and we went round fairly quickly. The course reflected the amount of use on it and there were 27 holes to play round. Some of the holes were fairly ordinary and a few were challenging and interesting. We would go again!

Read above quotes about the courses.

Tees and greens were poor the rough was quite severe

Tees in poor condition and non existant 1st cut rough - if your ball was a couple of feet off the fairway you were struggling to find it. Greens in good condition, but no semi rough meant that play was very slow with lots of waiting for players to find balls. Better course management required. Allow at least 4.5 hours for a round !

Sunday was a disgrace. Nearly 5 hours to play 12 holes .we had enough and walked off .we were told yourgolftravel messed tee off time up .my email clearly stated 2pm tee off .they said we were booked in for 12pm .and this caused problem. Really annoying I had my relatives from Australia with me .although when we started our round they said we were 2pm tee off. Only when I complained later in day did they say yourgolftravel was at fault. Very disappointing and no apology.
