Hunstanton

[Crazyface]

Look at how you respond. Rant rant rant. If you deliver criticism in that manner, no matter how well intended it won’t be paid any attention. Your mind was made up on the place based on some phone calls to even going there.

Hell no. I'm willing to judge the day on my experience of the day itself. And just tell me how the hell you can read minds???????? Especially mine. I have been profiled and I'm a helicopter,apparently, one who hovvers over situations and makes a judgement after watching and evaluating every possible angl. So ner ! And that's what I do to a tea or is it tee. I dunno.

On this webpage there is a review from 3 weeks ago

https://www.top100golfcourses.com/golf-course/hunstanton

Now if someone reads your review and that review which one do you think most golfers would think is a true reflection of the golf club ?

MINE. Emperors New Clothes syndrome. Open your eyes and see what is in front of you, NOT what you have been told is there.

Tashyboy got it right, well nearly, when he said it was worth about £45. I'd pay £30, but NO more!

 

[Crazyface]

Oh and also, the committee member said that that the prices were going up next year, LOL, you can imagine what I said to that !!!!. Hell yeah, I didn't hold back Homer!!!!!! I don't hide anymore. If it's not worthy I say so.

Now just to back what I've said up, last post. I wen't to Carnoustie 2 years ago and paid a bluddy fortune for that. Hotel with room over looking the course. Meal in the hotel. The full works. From the moment we walked in we were treated like a King and Queen. The course was amazing and fantastically presented. The food and staff in the hotel were superb. The wine was well I think you get the idea. Now don't get me wrong. Noustie was £150PP at the time and immaculate. But for £90PP, two year later, you'd expect a damn sight more than what we got.

And for all those who poo poo Fleetwood and St Annes V Hunstanton I suggest you go and play these places. THey know how to present a course. Fleetwood, this year, appolgised for their greens in April, as they weren't upo to scratch yet. But I can assure you all they were miles better than HSTN. I will never EVER trust GM and their top 100 again. I will look elsewhere for my reveiws.

And this has nothing to do with the ranking of the course, as has been explained. For a self confessed all seeing helicoptering genius, you aren't half coming across as bloody stupid.

I have played the course multiple times ( it’s my nearest links ) and the other review is far closer to the truth - it’s also posted respectfully and calmly.

Oh and also, the committee member said that that the prices were going up next year, LOL, you can imagine what I said to that !!!!. Hell yeah, I didn't hold back Homer!!!!!! I don't hide anymore. If it's not worthy I say so.

You seemed to have had a decent “chat” with the committee member so maybe you are “overplaying” going “both barrels” at him

Carnoustie is a different level to Hunstanton- it’s a world class links that hosts the Open , it will be a different experience- it’s also a touch cheaper than the same level of course in England which would about £200 just to play

And for all those who poo poo Fleetwood and St Annes V Hunstanton I suggest you go and play these places. THey know how to present a course.

Never played St Anne’s but heard it’s a good course - Fleetwood on the other hand 😂😂😂😂.

And in what way were the greens “miles” better - the colour ? You have already said the run true and well

 

[robinthehood]

Sorry my apologies , I thought it was just crazyface and his wife who went, I never realised so many other forumers were there and are able to recount how things really went down 😂😂

 

[PhilTheFragger]

I think blaming GM for your “bad” experience is a little childish. Hunstanton is up there in any top uk course list not just GM

Not saying that you didn’t enjoy the day, but there have been plenty of other people on here who have played the course and who disagree with your assessment.

It’s a tough barren hellish windy links course, it’s not pretty, but it is what it is.

We get that you won’t be going back, but you are now in danger of repeating yourself and making yourself look a bit silly.

I doubt if anyone would not go there on the strength of your review, in fact quite the opposite, some might go to see if it is as bad as you say.

So you could actually be promoting the course in a perverse way

At what point can we expect to see the immortal words “Rant Over”?

Like the top 100 courses website quoted above which has 2 very recent reviews both saying pretty much the opposite to what you have said?

Jeez, the blokes just letting off a bit of steam after shelling out a goodly wedge of cash and not getting the experience he hoped for. The expectations he had might even be unrealistic
(I’ll bet we’ve all done the same about one thing or another, I once sent a Nandos back three times and had a good ol’ moan at the kitchen staff in front of other diners)

Sure CF's a bit ‘ranty’ but none of us are going to change his mind, why would you even try. Does the course have one or two of you on a retainer or something (maybe you've a sister or aunt working behind the counter in the pro shop. If so spit it out because it seems just as weird as the rant itself)

 

[Jacko_G]

When people stop ranting back at him I would suggest?

 

[inc0gnito]

Sorry OP but a lot of any genuine review of the course is lost because of the manner of your post. It just looks and sounds that you had a bad morning and took it to the golf course.

Not saying the course itself wasn’t up to standard or that you haven’t any legitimate points but I can’t take your review as authentic and they are lost given the way it was written.

I wouldn’t pay £90 for a course so I doubt I’ll ever have the Hunstanton experience but your review certainly wouldn’t put me off going at the right price.

Possibly the odd vested interest here and there.....😉

Could be, couple of reactions do seem a bit like CF has actually been round to their house and slagged off their back garden... and the cup of tea they made for him (& his wife)

You are possibly correct. At least 3 GM course reviewers have responded. People who give up their time and money to review courses so that others can benefit.

As did crazyface, but his review is somehow worth less?

 

[Tashyboy]

Does that mean Very Firm Macadam?

😂😂😂😂😂😂

 

[Deleted Member 1156]

Maybe something to do with the style in which he posted? Didn't exactly come across as constructive to me but if you are happy to consider it a fair review then crack on.

Al give up my time to review a course D4S and al even mention if theres tarmac ( which we dont have on our course).
