78 Strokes and You're Up There With the Best
Nestling in the hotel's 220 acres of private grounds, Hellidon Lakes' championship course offers challenges aplenty for beginners and scratch golfers alike. As you might expect, many of the 27 holes feature water hazards, albeit with a choice of challenging carries over, or safer routes around the numerous lakes; on the par 5 twelfth, for instance, two long shots over the water can end in triumph or disaster, whereas three shots along the zigzag route can yield a solid par.
On your way round, you can't help but notice the diverse flora and fauna that flourish around the greens and fairways. Badgers, deer, foxes and a multitude of birds blend happily into the surroundings, the result of a deliberate policy to preserve large tracts of the valley as their natural habitat.
The result is a truly exclusive blend of 'back to nature' scenery and the highest of year round playing standards on large, well kept greens and well-drained fairways. Length, accuracy, judgement of distance and concentration are all examined on a truly unique round.
And after your game, you can enjoy the magnificent facilities and ready hospitality on offer at Hellidon Lakes clubhouse, set in a commanding position overlooking the 18th and offering superb views from its terrace bar over the picturesque Hellidon Lakes.

You think??
It wasn't actually meant to be suggestive, just I typed it quickly from my iPhone and didn't read it 
I haven't played golf for about 5 years but have a full set of clubs sitting in the garage doing nothing. Thought it would be a good idea to get them out of the garage and try and remember which end to hold

I will be up for that Nigel.
Used to play off 13 years ago but have only just started thinking that maybe I should playing start again. I would be happy to break 100 as it's the putting that usually goes to pot first.
Would prefer a late morning tee time if poss so that I don't miss too much of the bar catch up.
I suspect that my mate Ron (Blueyonder) will also be a near definite. Similar standard to me so there'll be nothing too serious
