Worst course I’ve ever played.
The conditions of the whole course was shambolic, greens unplayable and the bunkers were just stones. 4 of us paid £32.50 each and I would not even pay £5 to play here. I’ve never left a review on anything, let alone a bad one, but avoid at all costs it’s not worth the time or money.
Disgraceful
To call that a golf course is wrong it’s a field in bad condition not helped by the idiot receptionist who said we couldn’t play 18 even though we paid and showed the receipt. We played 3 holes and walked off : that should not be listed on your website and I should have a refund
Wiltshire Garden Course 9 hole
This was my first time playing the 9 hole course at The Wiltshire. Course condition was really poor. Not worth the money atall. I paid to go round the 9 hole twice but left after only 9 holes played. I have never played a Course where most of the flags were lying on the greens, so you had no idea where the hole was. Not going back in a hurry.
The Wiltshire
We stayed there last year and thought it would be nice to play it again. The staff are lovely but clubhouse bit shabby in places and the course has deteriorated we lost a couple balls in the fairway as mowing was just left. Sadly they have lost the greens burnt and bumpy which is a shame because it could be superb with a bit of Tlc and hopefully we will go back and enjoy it to it’s full potential
Just needs investment
The paths to the holes are just dust tracks and badly signposted causing confusion, especially given the courses cross over. The roughs are very rough, fairways very thin and greens are badly maintaining making them very slow even downhill with no onears roll. Not good value at all. Just a shame the hotel won't spend some time on maintaining it and improving user experience.
Worst course ever
The pictures on the website made this course look worthwhile driving 45 miles for, on closer reflection had I read the reviews on this course I would have changed my mind.
All I can say is this course was in a diabolical condition, both the fairways and greens had not seen a keeper this season and were in a terrible condition.
The course (if maintained) could be a really nice place to spend 4 hours, need investment and TLC.
Not the best course to play
Should not be open in winter absolutely water logged everywhere you go your feet sink and you can hear the water rushing below your feet on every hole. If the course isn’t good in winter it shouldn’t be opened waste of money in the end
Disappointed
On arrival the pro shop closed, one member of staff available to check in golfers and hotel. Bear in mind course was quite wet thought all fairways were difficult and quite rough. Greens pretty good to be fair. But, two massive issues. Could not find 7th or 8th holes due to no signs and confusion of the 18 hole course which runs very close to certain holes of the 9.
The most obvious route we took ended towards the 9th so we missed 2 holes. So thought we would mention this to the club pro but as mentioned the shop was closed. The one member of staff was checking in 6 golfers. So thought we would go into the bar area for coffee and guess? NO staff!!
Overall not a good experience.
Fabulous Layout, Shocking Condition
I feel rather sad writing this, as this course must once have been fantastic. The layout is great, with lots of interesting holes, lots of water, well placed bunkers and mature trees and hedgerows. However, the whole place feels neglected. The greens on the day we played were the worst condition I have ever seen - they would have been disappointing at a seaside pitch and putt. Some hadn't been cut for many days and those that had were shockingly uneven, with clear steps between the mown lines. The tee boxes were ropey, fairways were poorly mown and many areas of the course felt as though they had been abandoned. The signage was minimal and inadequate in places, there were no proper scorecards available, the pro shop seemed to have closed down, there were no staff at the bar and the "Country Club" had the air of a derelict council office. I really hope we simply caught them on a bad day, but I fear that we may see the course close down in the not too distant future unless something changes drastically.
Shocking
Fairways uncut soaked with water absolutely shocking place tried to complain but nothing will never go again
