Hallmark Hotel The Welcombe, Spa & Golf Club

The Welcombe always provides a great test of golf with its varied hole layout. Considering the drought period we have had the course was in overall good condition. The greens had too much grass than I'm used to, but expected due to the hot weather. My only gripe was slow play! We had two lady members in a buggy in front . The lady's never once invited us to play through, which was annoying. The round took us 4 1/2 hours which is not acceptable for a two ball. I don't think this can be blamed on the course, more a worrying trend these days where some people do not show the courtesy of letting faster players through.

Really good condition even in the rain, greens had not long been prepped for winter but were still a good speed

Tee’d off nice and early, the green keepers were working away which didn’t interfere with the round the course was dry and plenty of run on the fairways, the greens were very fast and in great condition, the pace of play was good even though the course was busy

Pace of play is horrific ! Almost every tee had 3 groups waiting. Greens were terrible. Not a flat tee on the course. Every frickin time I say never again ! Always hope that things will change as the course design is superb.

The course was in good condition but very tricky holes.

Too many dog leg holes and blind drives. Bunkers everywhere!

Quite a few domed greens. Would recommend playing due to value for money and experience but do not expect to score well!

Course was in good condition and was very well set out but the pace of play was funerial

Over 2 and a half house to play 9 holes when we walked off

Played here a lot over the years it never disappoints.. brilliant amenities course always in great condition.. probably good idea to book a golf cart as quite hilly or it’s just that I’m getting older..!!

If you’re flexible you can pick up a round for a very reasonable price… but either way it’s well worth a visit..

Love this course- tough & hilly but very rewarding…

Played a twighlight round on a Monday evening. It was slow, but I was a 1 ball, with 4 balls ahead, so to be expected.

The greens looked poor but played really quite well.

It's short by yardage but plays a reasonable length. Long par 3s (in the wind), and position required off the tee on the short par 4s.

Having not played there before, I was caught out by blind tee shots on a couple of holes having hit "perfectly".

Approach to the 16 towards the hotel is lovely. Tee shot on 17 just stunning.

At £20 for 18 starting just after 5pm it is great value for money.

Would happily play again.

Had twilight tee time. Could not fault anything about course. After we finished went to club house and it was shut, was looking forward to a pint.

Will definitely play it again so we can complete all 18 holes.

This course is the most interesting course I have ever played, having to play around trees avoid water and bunkers hidden behind other bunkers in the fairways. beautifully set out with great scenery ,great putting practice area ,driving range etc.

Looking forward to playing again soon.

would highly recommend
