Course recommendations please!!

[Slime]

Hi all
Hoping for a two night, three round break in a few weeks time.
Our organiser has come up with the following suggestions;

Donnington Valley Hotel and Spa £240
The Oxfordshire Golf, Hotel & Spa £299
Tudor Park Golf & Country Club £266

I've never played these courses, any thoughts/advice/recommendations would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks,

The times I've played the Oxfordshire I've found it too long off the back tees and not interesting enough from the "daily" tees..
It gets windy and can be a slog...deserts of sand on the course....

Personally not a huge fan of the Oxfordshire but think its comfortably the best of those 3 options course wise and also accommodation (albeit pricey for drinks etc), if it was me Id ask if there were any other alternatives though

I'd agree.... I quite like the Ox though.

Tudor park is not great ?

Oxfordshire is ok but not for 3 rounds in 3 days - that sounds lie a punishment

East Sussex National?

Tudor Park is decidedly average to say the least. East Sussex National is a great shout.
If that's too punchy, then Dale Hill, Stoke by Nayland, Old Thorns or Sandford Springs might be worth a look, but I've not played some if them for a few years.

East Sussex National?

That's on the list, as is Old Thorns, but I've played them before and was after a bit of info about ones I'd not played.
Thanks anyway, good shout.

The other guys are favouring Donnington Valley.
Anyone played there recently?

East Sussex National?

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

Donnington is awful imo.
Plus you'll need to drive from the hotel to the course all 3 days unless you wanna walk a mile or so.

Of the 3 mentioned Oxfordshire is the better.

Of the others mentions Old thorns was a bad way when I was there around a month ago.
Stoke by nayland is good.

Bowood in Wiltshire or Bramshaw in the New Forest?

Carden Park in Cheshire.....decent hotel a two courses, both very different.

A prestigious little trio you could take on would be Moortown, Alwoodley and either Headingley GC or Moor Allerton. Bit more of a trek for you up to North Leeds but a well known hot bed of quality courses all close to each other.

Looking at google maps, the hotel seems to be right by the course.

Probably just the three hours too far away, but thanks.

The course goes right up to the hotel, but the clubhouse isn't.

Old Thorns is a goat track
