Llanishen Golf Club

Earlswood Golf Club

Golfshake Rating: 4.26

Value For Money Rating: 4.58

Golfshake Rating: 4.31

Value For Money Rating: 4.57

Prestatyn Golf Club

Golfshake Rating: 4.51

Value For Money Rating: 4.47

The Vale Resort

Golfshake Rating: 4.32

Value For Money Rating: 4.37

Review Comment: "Just got back from a fantastic two day break at The Vale. The Lakes is a great course, with the first four holes being pretty demanding. The Forest Course is a monster even off the yellows but what a great knock. A course guide for both courses is a good idea. The hotel is just brilliant, great food and really friendly staff, we will be back."
