The facilities there are already impressive, with a huge spa, health club, and restaurants onsite. There was also a very pleasant welcome in the proshop, something that a few courses could learn from.
As for the golf course itself, with the greens having recently been treated I certainly didn't see it at its best. However, forgetting the greens on this occasion, the course is certainly lovely. There are climbs to be made and wonderful views to be seen, and a large number of really great holes. There aren't really any bad holes, and none of the eighteen will feel the same as any of the others.
The course is very fair and reasonably generous from the tee, although it's certainly not easy and there are a few holes which will require fairly tight drives or irons. Highly recommended! Ian Mullins. Top Notch! So, when there's a course on your bucket list and you arrange to play there, there is often a worry that you will be disappointed, not here, this course is superb! The layout meanders through rich, dense woodland and is a real test of golf for anyone.
The first hole is a good indicator for the rest of the course, with a tight fairways and a quick green and it had been raining hard for few days. Once past the second hole and over the first ridge, you are met with a beautiful and expanse of fairways, whereby you could easily be forgiven for thinking you are in Switzerland seriously!
The next 'vista' is one I will remember for the rest of my golfing life A view only matched in the UK by the 18th at Seaford Head. My oh my, I will be talking about that view for months, if not years! Designed by Peter Alliss and managed by his son Henry, you can a lot of love has been put into the course.
I suspect the latter makes more money. However, for a four star hotel, I would expect some air conditioning in the rooms or the restaurant - I was sweating while eating my breakfast and not from too much alcohol the night before?!
That said, none of the above should detract from what is a fantastic place to play golf and I look forward to playing there again sometime soon! Brigitte Lockwo Why do we all think we should play like Scratch Players? It is good to have expectations but even better to be realistic maybe that a Forum subject to come? We had the golf course to ourselves apart from the Greenkeepers, yes it was winter so there were some not many boggy areas, but if one wants to play golf in UK, one should not grumble.
There were some sloping ones, ondulating ones. Only 1 bunker had standing water. Three holes do not have any bunkers as water or other natural traps are present for your enjoyment. I think I have described the 5th Usual 3 bunkers guarding this difficult green. A must for golf and even better a weekend to truly appreciate all facilities.
Alei Duan. Course with terrific views It is my first time playing at Old Thorns and will really want to come back to play again!
