Course recommendations please!!

Slime, Donnington Valley is absolute rubbish. The hotel is OK but pretty dated although a nice spa and pool. The Oxfordshire is a decent course and you can mix it up playing from different tees but it's a long track. The hotel is huge and souless IMO.

Old Thorns would get my vote or Bowood.

Bowood in Wiltshire or Bramshaw in the New Forest?

My lad plays at Bramshaw and reports the Manor course is in top nick right now

There is also the 18 holes Forest course which is a bit different!

Just returned from a two night three round break at Sandford Springs and will probably book again for next year - our group really liked it, course in great condition, rooms comfortable and in almost as new condition, staff very attentive with nothing too much trouble.

Second this , 2 nice courses. Decent hotel , nice swimming pool

Are you talking about the courses? Seriously though, in August or early September you shouldn't have to worry about a wet course, but the rains down have been utterly biblical recently and ESN doesn't drain well. My course is a mess right now and every time it looks like it is ready to turn a corner, the rains come again

Nothing low, course is not the easiest we've played but still some decent scores came in with a 38 being the best over the three rounds and several others between 27-32
