Dewlands Manor Golf Course

What a little gem. Not long but a good test and in great condition for a bitter January day. Made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived. (Something that has gone missing from many clubs). Clubhouse was like sitting in the owners lounge. 15 minute tee times strictly controlled and a great idea. Friendliest, most relaxing club I have ever visited. We'll be back.

After playing the course at Dewlands Manor for over ten years I would like to say that every visit has been an absolute pleasure to me. Over the years the course has improved on an annual basis thanks to the efforts of Reg Godin, his son Nick, and their staff both on the course and in the clubhouse. Continual work goes on improving the drainage and it is amazing to think that, in my ten years, I have never driven off a mat or played to a temporary green. From the coffee on arrival to the beer in the 19th (or is it the tenth!) it is always an enjoyable experience and don't let anybody tell you that this 9 hole gem is a pushover - it certainly is not.

A very different and enjoyable set up. When you arrive tee/coffee will be served and there are free tees and markers. Tee off times are every 15 minutes so no long waits on the first tee. We played from the yellow tees (3000 yards) in a very wet November but in the summer you are free to play from the whites (3250) if you wish. My favourite holes were the 3rd, 4th 6th and 9th. The greens were not bad considering how wet they were. At £30 for 18 holes I would say it was slightly expensive but worth a visit.
