Dainton Park Golf Club

We recently had our work's Christmas Dinner at Dainton. We were a party of 9 and all had three courses. The food tasted lovely and was all brought out efficiently. The staff were all very helpful with any queries we had. All members of the team enjoyed their meals and the atmosphere. We would all recommend Dainton and would definitely go back again. Thank you.

I've been to Dainton for the Sunday carvery on several occasions and the food and service is generally very good, however things went downhill a bit on Sunday 16th April. Around 3pm our table was invited to joint the que for the carvery, while the duty chef was plating up my meat selection he managed to drop a slice of lamb which skidded off the counter and landed on a stack of round trays to his left, opps, no problem, I thought chef would bin that dropped slice and simply carve me another., but oh no in moment of madness the chef retrieved the dropped meat and tossed it back on my plate then presented the plate to me. Perhaps a bit of refresher training required for certain members of the kitchen staff with the emphasis on the importance of hygiene and customer safety.

This is a course review only. I played this course as a junior so it will always be fond memories for me but returning to play it is always a pleasure. Over the years the trees have grown a lot since I was a member and this not only makes the course more pleasing to the eye but a bit more challenging. Off the tips its quite long and an interesting mix of holes with some water hazards that make for a couple of should I go for it tee shots if you have the distance. The elevated tee shots on some holes can provide the ideal conditions to hit some bombs downhill and downwind if you are lucky. The par 3 8th would be a dream hole to get an ace from an elevated tee, there are a couple of dog legs and I particularly like the par 5s on the back 9 both with inviting tee shots. Dont crumble coming up the 18th with the added pressure of diners in an around the clubhouse treated to a view of golfers coming all the way up the last! The course always seems well kept on all my recent visits but does not handle the rain as well as others but thats to be expected given it was built on farmland. Unfortunately that does mean there tends to be a fair amount of temporary tees an greens in winter. However in summer it does not seem to become scorched and completely dried out like many courses suffer from so swings and roundabouts I guess. My only criticism would be of the driving range. Lots of courses dont have one so its definitely better than nothing if your the sort of player who likes to hit a few before going out but a lot of the balls are pretty beat up and the mats seem a bit worn an snag up on irons easily. Considering the price for a bucket its not great but still as I said its better than nothing. I think if they invested in the top tracer technology that is becoming more common that would be massive for this club especially considering there are not really any decent driving ranges around this area. Overall definitely would recommend a round here!
