Thorpeness Hotel and Golf Club

Simple twin room with TV and balcony was very nice and the shower was exceptional. The staff were very helpful however due to the amount of people eating they seemed to struggle with orders and getting this right first time. When we arrived we ordered breakfast and teas and coffees some breakfasts had come out before others had drinks, we had to ask for them. We pre ordered dinner which was fine but when the starters came out they had got us and another table mixed up so again half of us got food before the others. The sides were ordered and some cane out wrong as in chips instead of sweet potato chips. However I must say that the quality of food was exceptional and would happily eat here and stay here again! I would just say that the ordering system or the communication with the kitchen needs to be looked at. However this wouldn’t stop me going again!

good size room very clean and comfortable

Was ok very basic bar area small and limited choice of drink.had 3 society's staying as well as other guests and had only 1 person behind bar long wait to be served.

Had a very enjoyable stay at Thorpeness

Very impressed with the rooms, shared with my son. Twin beds comfortable and room size larger than expected with writing desk and large sofa to relax and read or watch tv. The room seemed very modern and bathroom of a high quality. We ate in the bar rather than the restaurant (wanted to watch England v Spain), the staff were really friendly and helpful and our food was enjoyable and well presented. Service overall was good.

Very pleasant stay at Thorpeness, big & comfortable rooms with all the basic amenities you would typically require available. Dinner was excellent and breakfast set you off ready for the day ahead.Prices very reasonable in the bar.

My husband Alan and I thoroughly enjoyed our 3 day golfing break at Thorpeness Hotel & Golf Club...just what we needed!  

The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful to make sure we were well looked after. As for the golf, well – the course was in great condition, not a bit of mud on our shoes or trousers after we played 18 holes; it was a pleasure to play on!

We will certainly contact Your Golf Travel when we decide to go on our next golfing holiday.

The wind was fierce on both days and the course played very hard, but that’s what we love and it was an experience to some in the group who had never played that type of course before. We had rain on Sunday morning for about 4 hours before we teed off, one puddle appeared on the 4th green and by the time we came back past it on 17th it was gone. The course is in superb condition and would recommend this to anyone and everyone.

challenging, enjoyable, dont go in the rough.

Was raining all day on Saturday not heavy but some greens had big puddles on ,sunday round was dry but greens had big puddles on them, greenstaff not attempted to clear them very disappointing.

Unfortunately it rained the whole time we were playing so it obviously made it more difficult.

greens and tees are very good; fairways show signs of traffic; tricky bunkering positions; very friendly pro shop although no clubs to consider; buggy at £30 is on the high side.

Very narrow fairways. They are in transition with the cut of their rough. Challenging.

Some fairway conditions were poor probably due to weather conditions last year, need time and attention to improve. Course more difficult for ladies (carries and playing out of rough just off the fairways). However an excellent layout.

I put Hard on course difficulty but that was off the white tees. We played 3 rounds but enjoyed the challenge every time.

Course is a fair old challenge (if windy would become really hard I think)we were a group of to high handicappers average score 28 points as you need to be straight!!

I really enjoyed this course. A great test for a mid-high handicapper with lots of well-placed bunkers and with good, fast greens. Very pleasing to the eye from the tee box, with the fairways framed by the yellow gorse. After 4 months of walking my own (very wet) course in Kent it was a pleasure to walk along dry, springy fairways.

Yes very enjoyable but think they book too many on the course. Play was slow

We played as a two ball and took about 3 hours 15 minutes for each round. We were invited through by slower groups on several occasions and found other players to be courteous and friendly. The course was set up very well with an abundance of bunkers some of which I avoided. Sadly not all! The course requires a strategic approach, it's not overly long at 6,000 yards but course management is critical to score well. We were fortunate with the weather and saw the course and surrounding Vista at its best. The greens were slower than we were used to but they were very true and freewheeling staff are to be congratulated on presenting the course so well at this time of the year. We will definitively return in the future and found the two days to be really enjoyable. Thanks to Sam Greenslade for organising our break, he was very helpful and cannot speak highly enough of him and his customer service.

Great track, one that really gets you thinking! As with every course in the UK this summer, suffered a little on the fairways but you can see it growing back. Around the greens it's excellent and one of the few places you can putt confidently knowing you're getting true roll! A really well laid out test that provided a good challenge for our group. Sadly the weather got the better of us on the 2nd day and whilst the course stood up to it absolutely fine being sand based, less could be said for the wimps trying to play in it. Even with that in mind we'd 100% come back here again.
