Twenty Ten Clubhouse - Newport

Lots of 2010 memorabilia and a nice touch is all the balls have the course logo on, but you will lose some balls on the course. Some great holes to be played but their is a lot of sand so beware, one of our team wished he ha brought a bucket spade with him as his balls seemed to be attracted too the sand !!

Well the sky opened the night before, but we manage to get out there. Terrific challanging golfcourse with a really nice clubhouse. Lots of painting and photos to watch and for god sake, use the dressing room :

Beautiful building, courteous staff, stunning food especially the steak Diane which was cooked at the table by the waitress.

Staff were excellent be it the pro shop, restaurant or bar and best of all they clean your clubs and a momento of a bag tag with your initials.

My son wanted to play the Twenty Ten course as a birthday present so i booked for my wife, my two sons and myself to play. On arrival at the clubhouse the service was exceptional from the golf staff who made sure our experience was very memorable by showing us around and making my son's day by letting him use the locker that Tiger Woods had used in the Ryder Cup. The weather was bright but cold and the course lived up to expectations being in fantastic condition. We all walked the course which is fine for most people as buggies are only allowed on the paths. When we finished our round we changed and went up to the Rafters restaurant for lunch. The waiter asked if we had a reservation and when we told him we hadn't he looked around as if wondering where to fit us in even though there were only 5 tables occupied. We were seated at a table and after 10 mins another member of staff asked if we wanted a drink to which we said we would and we were also ready to order our food. We ordered 1 Chicken, 2 Fish Chips and a Burger. After 40 mins i asked how long our meals were going to be and after going to the kitchen the waitress came back and told us they would be another 10 mins but could not explain why they were taking so long. At no time during this waiting period did anyone ask if we wanted another drink so we had to ask for a jug of water. 20 mins later i went up to the till area where 2 members of staff were and again asked where our meals were. The waitress disappeared and eventually came back with our meals and we asked if we could order our desserts then, which we did. Whist waiting i noticed 2 or 3 trays of dirty plates and cutlery sat on serving stands in the centre of the restaurant which were totally ignored by the 3 staff on duty and also when 2 more staff arrived as we finished our main courses. I have to say the quality of food was very good but this visit was totally ruined by the time we were waiting for our meals and also the lack of communication by the obviously very badly trained staff there.
