Chelsfield Lakes Golf Club

Advantages: Challenging but accessible course for mid handicappers
Disadvantages: Not hard enough for better players and not the best course in the area

...Chelsfield Lakes Golf Club 'A good walk spoiled' is how one man once described golf but he was obviously a fool as there are few better ways to pass the time than by playing this most majestic of sports. In my part of the world we are spoilt for choice when it comes to courses and there are ones to suit all standards and pockets. Chelsfield Lakes is a pleasant pay and play course that will satisfy most golfers from beginners to good players. Very low handicappers may not find it enough of a challenge but for us mere mortals it has more than enough to keep us interested without ruining our confidence. The lakes of the title is bit misleading as there are only two on the course. One is far to the left of the 16th and doesn't come into play but the other is large and runs between the 9th and 18th fairways and most definitely comes...

Hartland Forest Golf & Leisure Parc

Advantages: Fabulous accommodation. Very clean, very well equipped. Great peace and wonderful views. Good range of facilities for the whole family.
Disadvantages: Be organised to arrive with bread and milk and anything you might need till the next day if you arrive late.

...charged at a normal unit rate and every lodge has got a proper meter in a box outside as you have at home. For a week we pay anything from £6 to £26 depending what time of year. You don't need to leave the heaters on whenyou go out because the lodge warms up really quickly! Our cost would work out to about 14p to 60p per person per day - we think this is fine! Each lodge has a decked area which is great in summer and we BBQ on the grass adjacent to it! The wildlife is amazing. Sometimes deer wander through the parc and you will see lots of birds of prey aswell as a wide selection of garden birds and ducks. The bar is cosy with a wood burner and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. There is a great information booklet which has been written and put in every lodge telling you everything you want to know about the area. The bar...

Great golf clubs at a great price!

Advantages: decent clubs, very cheap
Disadvantages: the lowest iron is a 5 iron

...I have recently taken up the sport of golf, but whenever I have played be it at the driving range of the local 9 hole course I have always borrowed a friends clubs. The more I have played the more I have enjoyed the game so recently decided to purchase my first set of golf clubs. I was always given the impression that clubs were expensive, but when trawling through numerous internet sports equipment sites soon realised this was a bit of a myth. I had pinpointed 3 sets of clubs that I was considering purchasing all of which were between £55 and £100 - very cheap I thought. I finally decided on the Chicago SGS golf clubs which cost me £57.99 from www.thesportshq.com. At this price I didn't expect too much, but was thoroughly impressed when they arrived within three working days of purchase. Upon arrival I inspected the clubs and was very...

Hartland Forest Golf and NO Leisure Parc

Advantages: In the middle of nowhere
Disadvantages: In the middle of nowhere with no facilities!

...Unfortunately this was not an experience of a lifetime. It may be we chose the wrong year. 2008! The park is described as Hartland Forest Golf and Leisure Parc, however there were no signs of leisure to be seen anywhere. There was a A4 sign pinned to a derelict room stating the bar is closed for 2008 and another sign on the golf club house asking people not to enquire with regards to the leisure facilities at the parc. All in all not a welcoming prospect. The site is extremely remote and you are 2 miles to the nearest public house (along a remote single lane track) and 8 miles from any other leisure facilities. For a supermarket you haver to travel to Bude or Bideford. The accommodation although nice and roomy with all necessary equipment smelt damp throughout our stay, probably not helped by the damp summer. The site has closed during...

Centre Parcs: SHERWOOD FOREST: An Honest Review

Advantages: Location; Wildlife; Accomodation; Range of activities; Shops
Disadvantages: Quite expensive; accomodation could be a fair distance from main areas!

...the 'Village Square' (main point). Young children will find it testing to have to cycle uphill all the time. We both really love Centre Parcs and I have now enjoyed it as part of a couple as well as with my family a few years ago, and all experiences of staying at Centre Parcs have been wonderful. I would recommend it to absolutely everyone other than young people looking for anything along the lines of a clubbing holiday, as you won't find anything like that here! Thanks for reading.

Niddry Castle Golf Club - a 9 hole challenge

Advantages: Interesting, challenging, cheap.
Disadvantages: None

...Niddry Castle Golf Club is a 9 hole course at Castle Road, Winchburgh, West Lothian, which is approximately 10 miles from the centre of Edinburgh and 45 miles from Glasgow. It is a parkland course playing around Niddry Castle with an 18 Hole length of 5518yds (Par 70)(4612yds Par 68 Ladies). It is fairly tight in places with water coming into play on 5 of the 9 holes. Another 9 holes are currently being built with a completion date of Spring 2003. Niddry Castle itself dates from 1490 and it is known that Mary Queen of Scots sought refuge there in 1568. It is not an attractive building but it has recently been restored as a private residence and is not open to the public. The golf course dates from around the time of the Second World War but lay dormant until the present club were formed in 1983. 1st. Par 3 (204yds: 172...

Boat of Garten Golf Club

Advantages: Stunning scenery, Not too long
Disadvantages: Narrow tree-lined fairways, Irons must be accurate

...Boat of Garten truely is one of Scotlands hidden gems, and without doubt deserves to be recognised as the finest Highlands course. Starting out, the golfer is not too enthralled by the first hole, which is an unremarkable par-3. But from the second hole onwards, one becomes aware of the majesty of 'The Boat'. The second has a lovely meandering fairway leading to a wide green, and a drive to the left handside of the fairway offers the best chance of getting the ball close. The third hole is a tricky par-3 with danger both short and long. Under club and you will be hacking out of heavy gorse, over club and you will be down near the tracks of the delightful steam train that runs alongside the first 4 holes. The fourth is a genuine par-5, with large humps that will hide the path to the green. Stay left to get the best approach...

Rise of the phoenix-Center parcs Elvedon

Advantages: Location, Facilities, Ideal family holiday
Disadvantages: Can get very expensive

...they are very much more expensive and numbers are limited. There are also a number of specially adapted villas for disabled guests. So you are unpacked and the car is back in the car park, it can be a long walk or cycle back depending where your villa is. Oh yes bikes are available to rent if you don't take your own. Now to the centre, this is where everything happens including the restaurants, sports arena, Sub tropical swimming paradise and shops. You will probably spend most of your stay in this area although the golf course, Aqua Sana health spa and archery are at the country club. The centre is now along the lines of a street with a stream running through the middle with amenities on both sides (whereas it used to be all under the one roof of the dome, not necessarily an improvement especially if its raining) The range...

Review of Center Parcs

Our Center Parcs Experience

Advantages: fun, lots to do
Disadvantages: expensive!

...I have been to Center Parcs several times but hadn't been for a while and since my last visit it has altered a little but still just as much fun as I remembered it to be. I thought I should review it as people who have never been are always asking me what it's like and whether it's worth it. The basic idea of Center Parcs is to have an active holiday where you try things you may never usually get round to doing without having to go far. All of the attractions are very close together so you don't have to spend all day travelling from one to the next and so you can really soak up the family fun atmosphere. I thought instead of reviewing everything individually I would review our entire holiday. **Arrival** We went to the Nottingham Center Parcs and we found that the directions on the website were fairly easy to follow and so we...
