点评:Myself and nine friends took our golf society to Hellidon Lakes for a weekend of golf and socialising. Overall, we had an excellent stay.
The hotel was clean and well maintained, and the staff were welcoming and helpful throughout the weekend. We booked a package that included an evening meal and breakfast, and the food exceeded expectations. There was a very good selection, and everything we had was well cooked and tasty.
The golf course itself was challenging and extremely well laid out, with a good variety of holes and complexities to suit different abilities. That said, as good as the course was, clearer distance markers would have been useful, particularly for some of the less experienced players in our group.
If we were to be critical of anything, parking was an issue on arrival. The hotel was hosting a martial arts event alongside several large groups of golfers, and it took around 20 minutes to get parked. Cars lining the drive reduced access to a single lane, which led to several occasions where drivers had to reverse the full length of the drive.
The hotel has a sports bar, but by the time we finished our round it was closed, so we had to get drinks from the main hotel bar upstairs. We were also a little disappointed that the sports bar did not have Sky Sports.
Despite these minor issues, we had a thoroughly enjoyable weekend and would happily return.
翻译:我和九位朋友带着高尔夫球社团前往赫利顿湖高尔夫俱乐部,度过了一个周末的高尔夫和社交时光。总的来说,我们度过了一段美好的时光。
酒店干净整洁,维护良好,工作人员在整个周末都热情周到。我们预订了一个包含晚餐和早餐的套餐,食物远超预期。菜品种类丰富,而且每道菜都烹饪得恰到好处,味道鲜美。
高尔夫球场本身极具挑战性,布局精妙,球洞种类繁多,难度各异,适合不同水平的球手。话虽如此,尽管球场本身很棒,但如果能设置更清晰的距离标记就更好了,尤其对我们团队中一些经验不足的球手来说。
如果要挑剔的话,那就是停车是个问题。酒店当时正在举办一场武术比赛,同时还有几大群高尔夫球手也在那里,我们花了大约20分钟才找到停车位。车道两旁停满了车,导致只能单行通行,有好几次司机不得不倒车穿过整个车道。
酒店里有个运动酒吧,但我们打完球的时候它已经关门了,所以我们只好去楼上的主酒吧买饮料。另外,运动酒吧没有天空体育频道也让我们有点失望。
尽管有这些小问题,我们还是度过了一个非常愉快的周末,以后还会再来。
