Played on 26 July in a bit of a gale. Very good course, with tricky contoured greens. Dome fantastic views of the Downs.
I am not a fan of buggies for golf (it's the only exercise I get), but this is very hilly and perhaps sensible to use them.
I enjoyed the day and will play the course again.

Just returned from a golf weekend staying and playing
Dale Hill.
The courses are in very good condition, considering the time of
year and recent rains. Testing holes but plenty of reward if played right. Old
Course is very hilly, thankfully buggies are mandatory on the Woosnam Course.
Could do with some more trees as very exposed to winds in a lot of places, but
excellent overall. The only negative was the lack of atmosphere in the hotel and
bar, and the sauna is falling apart!

We played both courses in a weekend - both interesting in their own way but
the Woosnam main course is a beauty. The holes just keep getting better and better
and the ones from about 6 onwards are all among the most interesting you're ever
play. We played it in April when it was a bit wet but we're definitely going back
in the summer for another crack.
Hotel very comfortable as well and the restaurant
is excellent. Overall a very good venue for a weekend's golf.

If views are what you're after you can't go wrong with playing Dale Hill. Two completely different 18 hole courses each requiring differing play to get a good score. The Woosnam course comes complete with buggy and is a great parkland layout with a couple of monsters holes, undulating fairways and a couple of par 3's to take your breath away. The old course requires more course management but with trickier greens and tighter fairways comes a chance of a higher score. Top marks for the club are the staff, welcome in the pro-shop is fantastic and the food in the bar is superb.
Add to all of this the Hotel and fantastic parking facilities I think once you've played it you would agree it is a gem of a club.
