The Wiltshire Hotel, Golf & Country Club - Lakes Course

Perfectly adequate, if only things were kept a bit better it would be great.

Will visit again.

An OK days golf. The golf pro shop is closed..so i went into hotel to register for my 2 ball tee time.

This was alrasy prepaid. It was a Sunday so i thought a Sunday roast dinner may be available.

Sadly no Sunday lunchtime roast dinners are available. But a selection of snacks only.

The course looked tired and not in very good condition. I won't be in a hurry to return to play.

It a shame really . I did play this course a prior to covid . Years ago and enjoyed playing very much.

Left after 13 holes and went to a pub garden to top up on drinks. No atmosphere in the hotel bar area and wanted to enjoy more sunshine and sit outside with a drink.

I've played this course a few years ago and it was always really good. It appears to be a little rundown generally around the resort, needs some tlc, paint, furniture etc

But... The course is in great shape, greens were well maintain and the course is still working as it should. It was empty so hardly saw anyone else and for £16 it's unreal value for money. We will be back

Was half expecting a horror show after reading some reviews but I was quite surprised how well the course looks. Yeah it needs some TLC but that only comes with time and it won't take much to get this place back near what I heard it was 10/20 years ago. Could do with a course map on the score card to know exactly how to get around and along with some proper signage

Played holes1 to 13 due to time constraints. Overall course was in good condition after a very wet winter. Most holes played had cut grass laying in the 2nd cut rough.

The course was nearly deserted, and it seems to be in decline which is a shame. Dead grass clippings meant we lost balls in the first cut, and some bunkers were lacking sand. However the fairways and greens were well kept. We had a delightful day for the very low price we paid through Golf Now and will certainly return.

Staff didn’t seem to have a clue and were very slow with everything… the course wasn’t in great condition at all and the pace of play was very slow, we actually walked in after about 13 holes

First time there , was looking forward to it but it disappointed me .

Signs around the course were either none existent or in poor condition. Please mark up holes and add clear directions to next hole. The fairways didn’t appear to be well maintained. Very lush with a covering of large clumps of mossy type grass. Lost 3 balls despite clearly hitting the fairways, would take forever looking under the above clumps of grass.

Needs some TLC and it could be a nice course. Greens were the best part of the course. Well cut and in lovely condition.

May return if some work is done

AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Without a doubt the worst golf course I have played. Believe it or not, this picture is a fairway right in front of a green (can you see the ball?). The entire course is thick rough, the greens are bare and sandy, the tee mats are covered in a dangerously slippy sludge, and bunkers full of grit. No pro shop or refreshments. Quit after 8 holes and the hotel staff refused to refund us.

Full disclosure, I can only describe the first hole as we walked off the course and refused to play when we saw it.

The fairways had not been cut and the grass was 4 inches long. I’m assuming they were the fairways as you couldn’t tell the difference between them or the longest rough. When I stood on the fairway, water came up and cover my shoes, it was like a bog.

The course has been left to rot and I’d avoid at all costs.

Course was very waterlogged and should not have been open. The venue is tatty and unkempt, everything looks run down and in need of work. Such a shame. Perhaps the course is better during summer months.

Excellent course layout, ground quite boggy after a night of rain, only downside is no facilities for food or drink afterwards, great value for £20.

Very disappointed, played the Wiltshire in a Wiltshire League scratch match a few years back so thought I’d go back for a round, but unfortunately they have really let this course go, which is a shame as it has the potential to be decent. Greens are not receptive and not well maintained, Tee boxes are 2-3 inches long. Pro shop….what Pro shop? Just a Desk in a corridor. How they have members baffles me. Save your time and play elsewhere!

Course much improved from the last time I played here a couple of years ago,

Fairways a little long and slow, but there were several mowers on the course cutting while we were playing, greens also on the long and slow side, otherwise a decent round, but not in my option worth £30, get a hot deal around £20 then it’s worth it.

Fairways definitely needed a good cut, there was little or no run which was unexpected for this time of year. Course played much longer than it should.

First cut was quite deep making recovery very difficult with even a small miss off the fairway, and a little time lost looking for balls.

Greens were very slow and a bit bumpy - a cut and roll would have made a big difference.

Layout is good, but pulling trolleys all the way around was very hard work with the long grass.

Have played here before and conditions were much better then, despite it raining most of the time. Could be much better, but value was very good.
