Culinary Delight

The dining experience at Gooderson Monks Cowl Golf Resort was truly a treat! I enjoyed a diverse breakfast buffet with a variety of options catering to all tastes. The dinners were equally impressive, featuring both a buffet and a la carte menu. I highly recommend the filet steak, which was delicious!

Fun for Kids

The resort offers plenty of activities for children. My kids had a blast with the kids' play areas, accessing a wonderfully maintained putt-putt course, and a swimming pool designed just for them. It kept them entertained throughout our stay, making it enjoyable for the entire family.

Golfing Heaven

As a golf enthusiast, I was thrilled to experience the golf course at the resort. The course was in excellent shape and presented a fantastic challenge. The scenic views while playing added to the whole experience, and I felt rejuvenated after a day on the greens.

I had a nice and comfortable stay overall. The rooms were spacious and well-maintained, but I found the towels to be quite small and the lack of a king-size bed made sharing a bit cramped. Breakfast was delicious and it was great that they provided generators during load shedding, allowing us to enjoy TV and lights. However, some areas of the outside surroundings could use a little more attention. It was a good value for the price.

The accommodations were good value, and the breakfast offered was of decent quality. However, dinner varied in quality, with the buffet being less impressive compared to the á la carte options. Overall, it was a lovely experience in a picturesque area, but we wished we had more time to explore the amenities.
