Hallmark Hotel The Welcombe, Spa & Golf Club

Course in absolutely superb condition, and greens, very poor pace of play, to many people on the course, golf now shouldn't keep on booking when it's full, 4 groups waiting on the 10th hole is taking the mick, only played 10 holes.

Buggys are a bit overpriced at £35, but I will say they are the best buggy I've been in with GPS and map of where your going and how far to the pin.

Really nice course and somewhat of surprise that we’d not played on this course . .Amazing stately home/ hotel just off the 16th and it would of been much better if the clubhouse was linked to that .

Really good quality course, greens were immaculate and fairways really well kept! Having a seniors match two groups in front of us meant play was very slow (waiting up to 20 mins at the 12th to tee off with two groups waiting behind (should seniors matches really be teeing off at 1:20 on a Saturday afternoon?). My group are by no means experienced golfers but a train of groups like this is ridiculous and means you’re being watched with every shot you take, making it less enjoyable than going at your own pace - we estimate it took an hour longer because of the slower groups and would be at least that if further behind.

Course is tricky, probably best for a mid to low handicapper as a lot of tricky holes and being able to shape shots would be a massive advantage.

Staff in the pro shop not particularly helpful, asked if there were any trolleys for hire and just had an instant no. Asked if any carts could be hired (the Welcombe is hilly) and again, straight no even with 10 or so parked out the front of the clubhouse… felt like they were put out we asked questions.

Overall, nice but tough course, needs better managing.

This course is both challenging and fun. Beware it has one or two hills so unless you are an Iron Man the. Grab one of the reasonable buggies.

I great day on a beautiful course.

Nice pretty course, good greens and friendly staff. However the par 4s are quite long and the lengthy walks from green to the next tee - down through a road and back up again was exhausting. Get a buggy. Great views of the countryside.

Booked a T off at 7 am I was told no one will turn up till 8 am

Plenty of character, great fairways and greens. Fresh silver sand in the bunkers.

Good course and good layout with some stunning views. Clubhouse opens late in the morning so could get scorecard/trolleys for 8am round on a Monday, which is a shame. Finally the half way house is never open

It was my 2nd time playing here and this time I bought 3 mates who hadn’t played the course before. Everyone enjoyed it and the general opinion was that each hole is different, from blind tee shots, water hazards and long par 3’s. It had everything. It is a tough carry though!, I was knackered.

Challenging, interesting holes. Long course for walking but our choice. Winter tees. Could have made use of ball cleaners as the course was very muddy. Would like to play it again in the summer

Despite the occasional sticky patch, the course was in good condition, the greens played well.

Good selection of testing holes for all level of golfers.

Stayed in the hotel, well worth a deal.

No temporary greens or tees played really well for the time of year

We booked this course on reviews and we were not disappointed, from the friendly staff to the condition of the course it was a great day out.

Really well layed out course with a great mixture of holes, some challenging and some just beautiful golf holes, but all well kept and great condition even taking into account the time of year. Would recommend visiting this course if you can, well worth the visit.
