Hi All,

Ive booked a weekend away at the Vale resort in wales for the end of October, £99 for one night in the hotel, dinner, breakfast, a round on the lakes and a round on the Welsh National. ive heard good things.

Anybody played it and got any tips?

Thanks

Played both. There are some very very long holes on The National. Plenty of water on both courses.

Long and lots of water! excellent

Two good courses, as mentioned plenty of water so stock up on balls!
If you are lucky you may see the Wales rugby or football teams as they both use it as their training base

Blimey that’s a good deal! Where did you find that?!

Decent deal at that price... had some very long rounds on the National, so hope it’s not too busy when you go

Played each course once. My overriding memory of the Lakes course is that a few holes go perpendicular across a big slope. So aim left (or right if you're coming the other way!)

I was at the Vale last weekend, we paid £175 for dinner, bed and breakfast and a round on both courses.

Welsh National was OK, very long, nicest holes towards the end.

The Lakes was OK, much more appropriate length for me and my high handicap friends, slopes were a bit of a pain on some holes, really nice par 3 6th.

I'd go back although not sure £175 was the best price (expecially compared to yours!).

Thanks for the replies, our deal is based on a Sunday arrival.
