My stay at De Vere Wokefield was a mix of highs and lows. The arrival and dining experiences did not match the hotel's luxurious branding as the restaurant struggled with service quality and food presentation. However, the staff members at the bar and pro shop were exceptional, providing friendly and engaging service. The well-kept grounds offered a beautiful environment for relaxation, especially after a round of golf. Overall, while I found the golf experience enjoyable, the dining could use some serious improvements.
