What clubs have great food

[chrisd]

Best lunch I've had was at Royal St George's - immense. But I know that there are a number guys on here who rave about The Berkshire too.

Best breakfast was The Belfry - full on hot and cold buffet.

And the half way house at Woburn (Marquess) had Guinness and Asahi on tap, as well as a brilliant sausage bap! Would've quite happily binned off the rest of the round and spent a few hours in there!

Royal St George's never fails on the lunch 👍

Tadmarten Heath is good for proper homely food. Last time we were there we had a full english before golf, took some homemade sausage rolls out with us then had a meal afterwards all at reasonable prices

 

[CliveW]

Lots of comments on here about some quite upmarket venues. TBH with the prices they charge the food should be excellent. I expect a decent plate of tasty food for about a tenner or less at a members club.

The OP asked which clubs had great food, not best value for money!

Just got back from a golf trip in the UK and the golf was good and the course in great shape. Couldn't say that about the food - terrible breakfast it was like a little chef disaster and the dinner was like a ready meal.
I'm not expecting Gordon Ramsay, but some good honest food. Has anyone got any courses they know with great food?

Wetherby, Selby and Moortown

RSG and Berkshire lunch are superb

The sausage roll at Blackmoor is immense

Halfway hut at Hadley Wood is excellent

Agree about Tadmarten Heath - great homely food

Ashridge is good

Had a great breakfast at Buckingham GC

RCP was really great breakfast as well

 

[Jacko_G]

Dundonald was usually pretty good for food.

Basic but tasty.

 

[howbow88]

Fair point about pricing, but the roast dinner I had at The Berkshire was probably the best roast dinner I have ever had. And the desert was also superb.

Always remember Fish's face when they rolled up a sausage in a round of bread at Sunningdale

The one at New Zealand had quality sausage rolls.

However, best ever for for breakfast is Silloth on Solway..... Best Sausage bars ever!!!!!

Going back a few years Portstewart had fantastic food.

Machrihanish Dunes do good food at their "resort", at the clubhouse it's really only soup and sandwiches.

But very good sandwiches and served in a great spirit

 

[chimpo1]

Sunningdale. Obviously.

I can’t wait to fill my bag up with their fruit cake! Top quality!

 

[PNWokingham]

Sunningdale. Obviously.

As much as i love Sunningdale, and i do a lot, the myth of the great sausage sandwich halfway is severely over-rated - without the hype it would be fine - but a pre-cooked sausage kept hot in a pan stuck between a slice of pre-buttered bread....!

 

[GolfingPastor]

Most places are Overpriced and bang average!

Cumberwell Park however does the best buffet I’ve ever had @ a golf club! Stunning.

The sausage bap at Hayling blows the Sunningdale one away

There’s a halfway hut at Hayling ?

Our halfway hut is now run by the club, and the food is great. Before that it was run by outsiders, and the food was awful and I had stopped using it.

They do very nice free nibbles at Littlestone.

 

[Depreston]

Chester le street just had a change in catering and the bait is absolutely top notch these days

 

[richart]

Royal St Georges, Tandridge and Walton Heath - all superb lunch / dinner.

Hopefully food will be good for H4H day at Tandridge. Tandridge pudding is great.

 

[duncan mackie]

Whilst I agree with jobr1850 I think there's more to it....

Tandridge is exceptional in its catering (whilst I'm not a fan of the course)
Rye is absolutely awesome on its catering and I would visit as a restaurant if the option existed(with someone else driving).
Westbyfleet has deliver the best value society catering package I've experienced.
Berkshire's lunch is again an example of if I could visit as a restaurant I would.
Loads of great lunch menus in my area - but they are still in the minority from a golf club perspective.

 

[GeneralStore]

RSG for breakfast and lunch, Berkshire and Swinley is quite good as well. Great wine lists as well

 

[Bxm Foxy]

Had great food last Friday at Exeter Golf and Country Club.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Best breakfast - toughie as most clubs offer the ubiquitous bacon/sausage bap or I eat at the B&B if I am staying away. Otherwise I usually get something like a Wetherspoons brekkie and refillable tea which is decent value for money. Of those clubs I have eaten at, Lydd did great brekkie. Shame it was all down hill from there

Best lunch (formal) - has to be the Sunningdale carvery for me. Honorary mentions to Swinley, The Berkshire
Best lunch (informal) - Bude & North Cornwall (great specials board and friendly service)

Best halfway hut - tough category. For me, Sunningdale probably just pips West Hill but again honorary mentions to Blackmoor and Woburn
