Skylark Golf & Country Club

We would strongly advise anyone considering this venue to think twice, especially if you plan to pay corkage.

We paid £1080 in corkage fees to supply our own alcohol for our wedding in August 2025. There were no clear terms and conditions provided, and nothing in our contract explained how corkage would be handled. Despite this, we trusted the venue to serve the drinks we had paid to provide.

After the wedding, we discovered from the bar receipts that our alcohol was largely not used. Instead, the venue served their own stock and charged us full bar prices. Meanwhile, many of our bottles remained unopened and were simply returned to us afterwards, having been kept behind the bar.

In effect, we paid over £1000 for a service that was not delivered.

When we raised this and requested a refund for the unused corkage, the venue refused to take responsibility. The situation has been made even worse by a change in ownership, with liability being passed around rather than addressed. We have had no meaningful engagement or attempt to resolve the issue.

We have now been forced to pursue legal action through the small claims court, which has added unnecessary stress and time after what should have been a happy occasion.

This experience has been extremely disappointing and, frankly, unacceptable. If you are considering this venue, make sure every detail—especially corkage—is explicitly written into your contract and monitored on the day, as our experience suggests you cannot rely on what is agreed verbally.

An excellent well managed golf course and clubhouse. A delight to play and eat at the club. Food very good and staff always friendly and welcoming and very efficient.

Excellent experience from booking to 19th hole

Course in great shape considering the amount of water and weather conditions in October / November

Looking forward to next visit

Great welcome, course in great shape , slow play seems a trait with this course golf etiquette missing at times overall a great course with friendly staff would definitely rec

Great golf course and amenities a real shame about course management very slow individuals with little golf etiquette

Course was in good condition. Pace of play was really slow (twilight). Bar/clubhouse closed too early. 18th fairway was sloped so much it doesn’t matter where your tee shot goes.

Very nice course but it must have been maintenance week. The greens were literally all sand which was almost unplayable. Would’ve been nice to have been made aware of even discounted the green fee.

Course fantastic. Some very interesting holes, Course in great condition.

Food and drink afterwards was very good. All staff were very friendly

This is a great course, but and it’s a big but it’s super short I’m not a long hitter and had less than 100 yards in so many holes.

Had great fun playing only took 3hrs to get round.

On arrival met by polite and professional approach by conscientious staff to the skylark golf experience-

Excellent condition of course woul recommend this course without hesitation

Lovely course, fairways neat, rough is rough, greens are well kept and tricky depending on where you land. Been here 4 weeks in a row, that should be testament to this review and why we as a group keep coming back.

Great course , short but testing and

In very good condition, clubhouse/ food and staff brilliant - only critique is that tee box’s are uneven in some areas and hence ball is above/below stance - that said a great day out

We played a twilight round on Father’s Day and couldn’t believe just how quiet the course was and what great condition the course was in also. But the reason for this review is to compliment the staff working on this day. They were very friendly and very helpful and also welcoming.

Played course yrs ago when it was quindel ,everything has come on leaks & bounds ,greens were emaculate, fairways and rough cut back a lot ,and to finish it off my mate got hole in 1 on the 17th ,great course and condition ,defnately recommend oh and good breakfast

Always enjoy playing this course when it is in good condition, as it was during my round when it was excellent apart from one or two greens which had been returfed and were just bedding in again
