Championship Course at Macdonald Portal Hotel

Our group of 4 golfers have just returned from a most enjoyable 3 day trip to the Isle of Wight. The short ferry crossing works very efficiently, we even managed to get on the return ferry despite arriving about 10 minutes before departure. Day 1 we played 9-hole Osbourne, a lovely parkland course close to the House and with occasional sea views. Day 2 we were at Freshwater Bay, fortunately in the most benign conditions as it is quite exposed but with fantastic sea views and many great holes. Our final day was at Sandown and Shanklin which is clearly the best club on the island and where (despite the delayed start which) we played some cracking holes. Our Travel Lodge in Newport worked very well for us and the whole trip was excellent value.

Long weekend away April 2019. Great golf, accommodation, food etc at Avisford Park. We have used Golf Escapes many times and they never fail to deliver. The four of us are looking forward to our next weekend away, this time to Cottesmore in September. A special 'Thank You' to Claire for all of your help in accommodating our requirements.

This is the fourth time we have used Golf Escapes. In the past it has been to France although this year we went to the Isle of Wight. We were concerned about Brexit. Every part of each visit has been a success with the golf, travel and the hotels. An important element is that we deal with a person who can always be contacted. We find the staff both friendly and knowledgeable. We are already planning next year with Golf Escapes.

Had a great weekend in Sussex playing East Brighton and Seaford Head - two great recommendations from Golf Escapes. Will definitely use again.

Golf Escapes arranged for 9 of us to stay at The East Sussex National. After booking we had to make some minor adjustments and had a few questions which was handled as if nothing’s too much trouble. Would also thoroughly recommend East Sussex national for a golf stay. Excellent facilities and 2 GREAT golf courses.

We had a really enjoyable time and all aspects of the venue - food, accommodation and golf course were well up tour expectations. Certainly on our radar for a future visit.
