Enjoyed a nice round of golf here today 5/9. Very good facilities and course in good condition. Definitely have a sausage roll and a coffee at the "halfway hut" compliments to the lady who makes them All staff I encountered were very friendly and efficient. Would recommend it
Really splendid place for a wake. Very smartly presented in a private dining area. Other than use of toilet facilities there was no contact with the masses of golfers around. Plenty of parking too.
Course is stunning and apart from a very busy course schedule/competitions it is one to play . Was a member up until recently so have had lots of interaction with staff and to be fair they all do a great job. My only watch out for this course is the pretty full members list which in turn makes it difficult to play between 7-12.
Arrived today expecting to have a good workout and relax in the pool only to be told they're closing early.Apparently "head office got the fastive season times wrong on Google" which I think is unacceptable and not enough of an excuse. Is this how all their gym treat their members.? I'm very disappointed. It's not a cheap gym either. The receptionists didn't seem to worry that they were turning me away, probably because they already have my money. Most of the evening classes were cancelled over the festive season which I feel is unfair as I, and many others work through this ridiculous season. I was under the impression that hospitality do not only run "normal hours". I'm very disappointed.
Fantastic Golf Country Club and Gym. We visited a number of gym's in the area and Benton Hall really stood out as offering something on another level. We meet Karen for our free tour of all the facilities on offer. Everything was explained to us clearly and we strolled around, we never felt rushed. The membership options were again explained and then we had time to choose what membership best suited our needs. A few days later we had our induction to the gym and Greg asked what my aims were and he set out an initial exercise routine for me. Wonderful young man, professional while relaxed and very engaging. Very relaxed gym, smells fresh and nicely spaced out equipment. The club offers 2 group exercise studios with various classes throughout the day along with a group cycling studio. Swimming pool, Jacuzzi, steam room, sauna. A 9 hole pitch and putt golf course which is included in the membership. Additionally Benton Hall 18 hole golf course which is a separate membership although you get a 20% discount on the green fees with your gym membership. There is also a very large dinning and bar area including an outside area overlooking a large lake, wonderful place on a summers evening.They even have a dinning area for parents with children. Large car park, level access. Non members are welcome to visit the bar and dinning area. A truly wonderful country club where we feel very relaxed and welcome much more than a gym, a lifestyle experience.
Friendly clubhouse. Excellent welcome and staff. Great to sit outside with a beer in Summer. Food is good. Golf course is a great test with super good greens. Water/ river comes into play on 9 or 10 holes.
Every member of staff we have met have been lovely. They are polite and professional. The facilities are excellent and supremely clean. Looking forward to my gym induction, we were so impressed we joined, so did my son and his girlfriend. Thanks especially to Celine for the tour and special offer
5 stars to the green keepers. 1 star for the management, only listen to members they want to listen to and fob the rest off. Also very expensive to be a golf member as they insist you have to have a gym membership. Looking to find another club where they listen to all members.
One of the best all round health clubs I have ever used. Despite years of gym memberships and regular visits to facilities around the globe, Benton always feels like home, whether in the gym, the yoga group, or just drinking coffee by the lake, this is the place we keep coming back to. Looking forward to seeing the lodges.
Ok so the great weather did help. But, what a great setting and good views making for first tee. Very helpful staff found us a spare tee slot 1 hour earlier and good starter had us off in no time at all. Greens were in great condition - much better than the Essex. Some challenging holes very rewarding. Beware that at least 6 or so holes have a bell, but no current notification signs for you! Also, some hazards difficult to spot because the stakes are set inside and too low to be seen from a distance. A great days golf but spoilt by 3 men bullying their way round the course - no etiquette no manners - hope they have insurance as someone will get hurt one day. Too close for comfort to my partner!
