Hallmark Hotel The Welcombe, Spa & Golf Club

Course was great. Testing holes and fairway, greens that made you think but ran true. Beautiful setting and views.

Staff on the day unhelpful and not welcoming. Range ball machine broken ‘I’m not an engineer’ he said, but only when asked. No apology no suggestions, ended up picking up balls with a few others before hitting a few. Having a couple of nets would be a great contingency option to consider.

Course packed with a morning comp and afternoon societies. Pace of play slow and after 4 hours and 20 walked off to the clubhouse before playing the 16th!

Nice course but the bunkers and walkways need some attention - they are a bit tired

I opted for this course passing through the area for work with a colleague, cheap rates and promising photos swayed us. Course hole layout is good and there has been clear though in the aesthetic aspects of the grounds, routes between holes are a little too long and disrupt flow of play in my own opinion.

excellent practice facility setup, putting greens, chipping greens and a driving range.

We were also rejected hiring a buggy despite 6-7 being sat unused, assuming it was on a book only syatem but would have been nice and maybe improved our round experience. course is hilly but it is not the worst I have played on in the regard. greens firm and fast bunker quality varied, some nice and soft others hard and could do with a little turning/changing of sand.

overall happy to have played it, will I be back, I do not think so

Beautiful location, and very cinematic. The course looks pretty straightforward but if you stray off the fairway you'll be playing out of short but thick rough. If you can find you're ball that is, as you can easily loose it, so keep your eyes on them. There are a few blind shots, good shots are rewarded, poor shots well you may never see that ball again. The staff were great, friendly and willing to give course advise. I'd happily play here again.

Tee boxes very patchy and uneven, greens were ok, but slow. Pace of play ok considering it was a bank holiday. Would definitely play again

The course was well maintained and you enjoy some beautiful views of the surrounding areas.

Greens and fairways were well looked after.

Would definitely return

Great experience at Welcombe Golf Club. The course is in fantastic condition—well-kept fairways, smooth greens, and a layout that’s both enjoyable and challenging.

What really makes it stand out is the atmosphere. Friendly members, a relaxed, laid-back vibe, and none of the stuffiness you sometimes get elsewhere.

Quality golf with a genuinely welcoming feel. Highly recommend.

Only slight negative.. We had a 5 ball in front of us at one point which was strange and held up play. I think things were moving slowly anyway but that didn't help. Nobody came out to sort it.

Really enjoyed the course. Arrived early and checked in - very relaxed atmosphere.

Hit some balls on the driving range - very petty but the only negative was the state of the range balls!

Course was lovely - a little hilly but worth the effort for some of the amazing views. Some work being done on the course but didn't spoil the round at all. Greens were true but shape and size was challenging on some holes.

I will definitely be back.

Absolutely brilliant for saying how bad the weather had been this week!

The fairways were wet as expected, but the greens were absolutely brilliant and rolled superbly.

My only fault is, quite a few of the tee-boxes were on a slant. It’s not major however it does affect tee shots from time to time.

Overall, I highly recommend this course as an affordable getaway!

Fantastic course some very interesting holes conditions for the time of year where very good will be revisited in the future recommend to anyone interested

Played here for the 1st time and it definitely won't be my last. Had some terrible weather recently so I didnt expect the best conditions but WOW it was near enough perfect. As someone who has only been playing golf for less than a year, I was chuffed to par the 1st 2 holes. Par 5 and a par 3. I chipped in for birdie on the 7th from 60ish yards. My 1st ever chip in. Will always remember the course for that. Great day out there just missed the rain and finished with 94. Off to a good start this year

Fantastic course for the money. No two holes alike, lots of variation, elevation, hazards to play around and make you think. In brilliant shape for time of the year. Slight pace of play issue with slow four-balls not letting twosome play through even though we caught up to them on tee boxes several times but that’s people, not the course.

Have already booked again!

Excelent value for money. No winter tees, no temporary greens, water in the ball washers which is unheard of these days. Really enjoyed it and recommend it.

we really loved the course

it was in fab conditions

it did tak eus 5 hours and we found the course difficult but superb to play
