Gavin Alston 1 year ago

Negative experience: Prices for the driving range have crept up over the last few years, now firmly in the ridiculous territory. The facilities don't match the cost, the mats are well worn, quite a few of the screens not working. Despite the number of golf courses in the area there aren't many driving ranges, so not a great deal of alternative options sadly.

Fantastic experience: We booked the indulgence package for 3 of us at The Gailes for a friend's special birthday. Having tried a few local spa days, this was by far the best in terms of the treatments received, the facilities and service. Staff were professional & the whole day went seamlessly. Lunch was provided as part of the package, it was served in the spa restaurant which meant that we weren't self conscious about being in our robes. This was our friend's first ever spa day & she loved it

Positive experience: The food was good but the service was OK, I asked a question on a meal in the menu and all I got was "I normally work on the bar, I don't know" I asked for a cocktail which wasn't on the menu and was told the bar was too busy even though the restaurant was half empty.

Fantastic experience: My recent visit to Gailes left me thoroughly impressed and completely satisfied with my day on the greens. This place is a golfer's paradise, offering a blend of recreation and relaxation that is hard to match. The first thing that caught my eye was the meticulously maintained golf course. The lush fairways and well manicured greens were a sight to behold, and the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape added to the overall experience. The layout of the course provided a challenging yet enjoyable round of golf for players of all skill levels. The facility's staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. They made sure that every aspect of my visit, from check-in to equipment rental, was seamless and hassle-free. Their professionalism and knowledge of the game enhanced my experience. One of the standout features of this facility was the driving range and practice areas. The state-of-the-art technology and practice bays allowed me to fine-tune my skills, making it an ideal place for both beginners and experienced golfers to work on their game. After a satisfying round of golf, I relaxed at the clubhouse, which offered a delectable menu of food and beverages. The restaurant's ambiance was welcoming, and the food was a delicious treat after a day on the course. Overall, Gailles offers a first-class golfing experience. It's a place where you can enjoy the sport, soak in the beautiful surroundings, and receive exceptional service. I can't wait to return for another round, and I highly recommend it to any golf enthusiast.

Chloe Parkes (Miss Maximas) 2 years ago

Positive experience: The gold course will do. As an amateur looking experience it's not bad for general practice but the winter greens are abysmal. I've nearly lost balls in rabbit holes, the green isn't even worth considering for putting practice. If you're happy with a game of closest to the pin then it's fine. The driving range is good quality. Top tracer works fine after dark as long as the lights are on When they're busy, service isn't great.

Sandra Murphy 2 years ago

Positive experience: Had 2 x coffees weren't very nice plus expensive

Laura White 2 years ago

Positive experience: Sadly our experience at the Gailes (restaurant) was extremely disappointing due to a number of reasons : UNCOMFORTABLE TABLE PLACEMENT & COLD DRAFTS Our table was situated right next to the entrance door, toilets and waiters station. Here, we experienced cold drafts whenever the door was opened. This was a birthday dinner for elderly citizens of which some ladies ate their meal while wearing their coats because they WERE that cold. In addition, there was a lack of privacy as the waiter's station was literally situated within a meter of our table (You could hear the majority of their conversations) ATTENTION TO DETAIL GOES A LONG WAY Wine was ordered for the table. Usually a bottle of wine is presented to the guest, opened and then poured. This shows courtesy and adds to the atmosphere of the dining experience. Sadly, this did not happen. Our ladies ended up pouring their own glass of wine. SERVICE To finish off our meal, coffees and cointreau were ordered. Cointreaus were served incorrectly and eventually replaced twenty minutes later after asking three people why it was taking so long? It is unfortunate but as a group we agree that the service and atmosphere was poor!!! However, our star rating is purely for our meal. It was delicious and thoroughly enjoyed by all - Thank you Apologies Gailes, we are not ones to complain or give negative feedback but hopefully this review will encourage you to evaluate your services and customer experiences.

Yes Recovery Ltd 2 years ago

Negative experience: Prices have went up 3 times this year and every time I go the computers don't work, once left some clubs there by mistake, asked them to check cameras and see if they had been handed in as they were very sentimental. Said they didn't have them and couldn't check cameras, I found them 6 months later in a pile of clubs they rent out, ruined. Not the greatest of experiences this place. More and more I'm getting to the point where the computers just can't justify the extra money as they never pick up your shots

Fantastic experience: Took the kids to the driving range and they had a great time. Very good set up and it killed an hour. Eldest child took it very seriously but the other 2 just had a mess about. They all loved it though.

K Rae 3 years ago

Positive experience: Can't see how this won best spa in Scotland, its certainly not the best spa I've ever been too, from toilet/showers not locking, ludicrous soft drink prices, couldn't get near the outdoor hottub as same people kept using it, limited menu available, sides came when we had almost finished our meals and weren't cooked properly, broken tiles around the indoor pool, basic sun longers dotted about, no heated loungers anywhere, no ice cubes, water fountain produced warm water and far too many people in at the one time to name a few issues!

George Carmichael 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I visited Gailes on Tuesday evening with family and friends where we had a fabulous evening of fine wine and food. From the beautiful starters, the excellent main course and not forgetting the amazing sweet to finish off a completely successful evening. Oh and before I forget, the wine how could I forget the wine . The evening was complimented by the very professional staff who were attentive without being intrusive and applied a personal touch to make our evening as good as it was. It goes without saying, I highly recommend Gailes, you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I went for the range and then for lunch, we both got the buffalo chicken salad which was really tasty, it was nice to have something really refreshing, crunchy and tasty. I recommend the mint slice if you're looking for something sweet as well.

Robert McMeeking 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: First time visiting the newly refurbished restaurant. Similar beach theme as another of their venues in Ardrossan. Ordered 2 large breakfasts. Service was quick, pleasant. Food was fresh, nicely cooked, not over cooked like a place I visited recently, and was certainly good value for money. Lovely pot of tea and a large black coffee finished with a pint of fresh orange and lemonade and came to £30. No complaints. Would recommend.

Negative experience: Went for lunch at the golf restaurant Repeatedly ignored while 6 of us waited to be seated. Other customers walked right up to the bar and were served and we were still waiting. So angry we walked out. Appalling service.

Aidan long 3 years ago

Negative experience: It always smells terrible around the grounds of the hotel and car park, need to fix their sewerage, also how can a driving range run out of balls, there sitting on the field? Go and collect them ?

Corrie D Marketing 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Had two hour lesson with Calum PGA on Sunday, at Gailes Golf Leisure, it was fab would highly recommend it. A mix of practical lessons at the driving range, practiced with driver a few irons & hybrid clubs, then went onto the 9 hole course for a bit of practice on the course using sand wedge & putter. Looking forward to my next lesson! Calum amazing, very professional, offered great tips and advice.

Caroline Robinson 3 years ago

Positive experience: Just had a lovely overnight stay here. Its the first time we've been back since it was refurbished and it looks amazing. Can't fault the staff particularly the lady on reception when we checked in. My husband has mobility issues and she asked if we would like a room on the ground floor not far from reception which was ideal for us. All our meals were lovely. Only thing I would say is I think you could do with a better quality duvet on the bed. Everything else was lovely. We will definitely go back.
