A group of 8 of us had a great time at Brocket Hall - playing the Palmerstone Course on a sunny April afternoon. The fairways, Tee boxes and greens were in excellent condition and maintained to a high standard. Will definately visit again and play The Melbourne course. The hotel (Melbourne Lodge) has good rooms. Food service was quite slow... More

We stayed here overnight following an amazing experience dining at Auberge Du LAc. at Auberge du Lac . The Lodge itself was fabulous - our room was very tastefully decorated... More

We spent a lovely weekend at Brocket Hall, playing on both superb golf courses, dining at Auberge du Lac and staying overnight at Melbourne Lodge. We really enjoyed the whole experience - the setting is amazing and although the bedrooms could do with a bit of "modernisation" everything about our stay was excellent.

It’s a great place to stay and fully enjoy at Auberge du Lac’s dining experience. Our package included the room, breakfast, a bottle of wine on arrival and the tasting menu – and was a great way to kick off Christmas. Melbourne Lodge stands alone on the other side of the Lake to the Restaurant, so be prepared for a... More

I have just spent a great weekend with friends at Brocket Hall Golf Club. The golf courses are outstanding, apart from the badger damage which is extensive, completely detroying one fairway on the Melbourne Course. The Palmerston Course is probably the most beautifully landscaped golf course I have ever played. The driving range and practice facility is excellent too and... More

Stayed here on a recent corporate golf event. One of the best golf courses Ive played in a long time. Loved the 18th over the lake. Evening meal (given it was mass catering for 150 people) was very good I thought and welcome after a long & challenging round of golf My only negative was I thought the visitors changing... More

Had a great time at Brocket Hall. Two brilliant golf courses which were maintained to a high standard. Course marshals were visible - a rarity at most golf clubs. They were extremely helpful. Stayed in the Melborne Lodge. Lovely large room which was a bit tired, but clean. Beautiful views form the Lodge. Had lunch prior to playing golf on... More
