The Wiltshire Hotel, Golf and Leisure Resort

Modern day slavery is what I call this hotel staff are forced to work 90 hours plus paid half the Uk salary also forget about the golf it’s a jungle at best not to mention the food is all frozen and sold at miller and carter prices the sauna is out of order and the swimming pool is cold

The tee boxes were like playing out of thick rough. The greens were awful and so slow; I was actively hoping for a steep downhill putt. The bunkers had grit, not sand. Some of the flags weren’t even in. Absolutely shocking, worst golf course I have ever played.

Great place highly recommend 😊 Gym facility was great and the pool 👍 Very friendly helpful staff . Food and bar facilities was great . The room was very comfortable and catered well for me my partner and our 2 year old girl . Set in a lovely setting👍

Having recently got back. Into golf I was keen to play some local courses,I played this course 10 years ago and from memory it was a good course with some tough holes, The `Tee off areas were absolutely fine ,the fairways had been cut , the rough was as expected and the layout of the course is as I remembered ,except for one very important detail,THE GREENS !1 I must say they are the worst greens I have ever seen ,to be honest until the Wiltshire `Hotel Golf club address this issue I don’t believe they should be able tomadvertise or charge people to use the golf course ,it completely ruined the whole day of golf. We paid £20, I wouldn’t ever play there again unless they address the issue of the greens,and I would strongly advise all of you to not waste your money playing golf at this venue unless the Golf course can guarantee your money back if you are not happy with the standard of the greens, It’s a real shame as the layout and the potential of a real good course is there ,IF THEY SORT OUT THE GREENS!11 🙏

Unfortunately the service at this hotel and quality of the golf was not as expected, and not worth the price we paid - now we didn't pay a lot; we weren't expected St. Andrews but we were expecting a maintained golf course. The hotel itself was generally clean and tidy and the food in the evening was ok. There was definitely a lack of trained staff and staff in general and not one member of staff knew anything about the golfing side of the resort. On arrival we were shocked to find the (very small) pro-shop closed so we were unable to buy any golf balls and had to buy expensive water & soft drinks from the bar. This remained closed for the entire weekend. The golf course itself was ok but the greens were quite simply the worst greens we have all ever played on. We were told that the mower was broken which is why the grass was so long but we also were told that there in no greenkeeper at the hotel at all, but the general staff try their hardest to keep the course as best as possible. Also none of the bunkers were raked or looked maintained. This made for a terrible golfing experience which was the main reason for our stay. Some members of our group almost went home the next morning without playing the second round of golf. In the evening as mentioned, the food was ok. The bar & restaurant looked inviting but to find out there was a choice of either 1x lager or 1x cider that was a complete disappointment. Also, imagine the shock when we were told we weren't allowed a glass of red wine without buying the bottle! We did manage to get a glass of red wine eventually but that is simply unacceptable. After a disappointing start to the evening we chose to get a taxi into the local town. The breakfast in the morning was below average also, but we did all manage to eat something before the second round of golf. In summary, if the hotel wants to be a golf resort then a lot of changes need to be made. At the very least have a member of staff on hand to run the golf side of things, make sure the course is up to standard and manage the proshop & golf bookings. More staff training is required for the hotel side of things to keep customers happy. It felt like there were alot of corners being cut in order to save money everywhere you looked. We were offered two complimentary four balls but I've had to request these from the manager who, suprise surprise, wasn't there this weekend. I have my fingers crossed for a response but I doubt I'll get one.

The golf course is well designed and has the bones of something special. Be aware that the condition has been mothballed and the day we played the greens hadn't been mown for quite some time. I enjoyed the course scenery and layout. For a low green fee it was a fun day. If the course could be maintained better it would be a great track.

Anyone that gives this hotel more than 2 out of 5, is clearly writing a fake review. The hotel is extremely dated and basic. Beds uncomfortable, curtains flimsy, no iron in the room, no air conditioning, microwave food (at a-la-carte prices) served in the restaurant, bar closed very early, the list goes on. I think this could be a good hotel with a bit of effort. There is an absence of guests for a reason. Real shame :-(

The golf course has the worst greens I have ever seen. There are no staff or facilities on it. The hotel is travelodge style from 20 years ago - run down, faded and with microwave style ready meals served as food. It’s not even all that cheap. I can’t think of any reason to stay in this hotel - avoid at all costs.

Firstly the positives: - The staff, although limited in number, were friendly and helpful as they could be running around covering too many jobs - The food was good - My room was adequate - The course COULD be lovely IF anyone bothered to maintain it - My two stars are for the staff & food Now for the negatives: - The course is NOT maintained - The greens are the worst I have ever seen. It was like they were attempting to putt on a cabbage patch. Apparently the mower had been broken for two weeks. Please note hire companies are available - Over the course of two rounds we never once saw any staff on course - Halfway house shut and dilapidated - Scorecards were photocopied. Ditto for the course map - Bunkers were a joke. I have seen more sand in Antarctica - Signage was unreadable - This course, with the basic maintenance, COULD be really nice In summary, staff doing a great job in the face of challenges. If you just want a cheapish hotel in the area then good. If you want to play golf AVOID the course.
