Nizels: Opinions
Fantastic experience: we had a work christmas do here it was amazing! so much fun big shout out to lucan and becah our host and hostess they where wonderful wee we’re so awkward with our food and both where so delightful and funny i would love to come back here
Fantastic experience: Aura spa is beautiful. It's clean with great atmosphere and fantastic service.
Thank you for the lovely feedback and very pleased you enjoyed your experience in our Aura Spa. We look forward to welcoming you back very soon! Nizels Management
Positive experience: Golf course is somewhat wet, and consequently, fairways are uncut. No electric trolleys allowed, so our society were kindly offered push trolleys FOC.
Thank you for the feedback Gary. We have had a challenging start to the winter this year with lots of rain. With a dry spell we will be able to cut the fairways again and get some definition back on the course. I hope you enjoyed your golf day with us. Many thanks. David
Positive experience: While I enjoyed my workout, I was disappointed to find that the pool was still out of action. It seems that there are often issues with the facilities being out of order, which makes me wonder if the membership fees are justified given the lack of reliable access to all the amenities.
Sorry Renne - the pool was only shut for a day so our apologies. Frome time to time we will pick a quiet time to do annual but otherwise we have been opne all year . Thanks again for your feedback
Negative experience: The food at dinner was awful.
John - Thanks for your review. I am so very sorry to read this . I do hope you brought this to the attention of the team on duty at the time so they could help but please do PM us with your details so we can get in touch . Many Thanks
Positive experience: Nice course, well maintained and greens were in good condition. Some interesting holes over water, not just a knock it down and put course, some thought needs to be taken. Stuck behind a 3 ball from the 2nd though and wasn't let through (we were a 2 ball in a buggy aswel) which is the only reason it 3 out of 5. Would try again though.
Thanks for the feedback Matt - regarding playing through, if this is a concern next time you play, please do let one of the marshals know, who will do their best to assist. We look forward to welcoming you back to Nizels in the near future.
Fantastic experience: Lovely golf course. Clubhouse and other facilities are great.
Thanks for your kind words Joe - much appreciated
Fantastic experience: Great track but you need to keep an eye on the pace of play!
Thanks for the feedback Macca and great to hear you enjoyed your visit! By the nature of Nizels being a busy course, we continue to keep an eye on the pace of play, and our marshalls work consistently hard to ensure that both members along with guests, all individually have a positive experience. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Mike
Fantastic experience: A great day of golf and a charming club with immaculate standards.
Great to have welcomed you Adrian and delighted you had such a positive experience at Nizels. We look forward to welcoming you back in the very near future! Many Thanks, Mike
Positive experience: The good bit: the golf course was in excellent condition, and challenging. The bad bit: the service at breakfast was non existent, the coffee was disgusting (they must use the same brand as Surrey National). The tea was as weak as dishwater. An elderly society just before us was slow and the round was over 5 hours, with no active Marshall.
Thanks for your feedback and so sorry you didnt enjoy your breakfast and you are welcome to return and have one on us : ) I am assuming you were part as one of our golf days yesterday . we did have two large golf days yesterday so it wasnt possible to give our usual service - so sorry . The marshall was out on the course and doing her very best to keep things moving so apologies again. The course is in fine condition and thanks for recognising this in your review - very much appreciated. PM us so we have your details . Many thanks again for your feedback - Nicky
Positive experience: An enjoyable golf course with surprising elevation changes. We played in May and it was nice and firm after a wet winter but there are signs that it struggled in winter. The greens were OK but quite slow, most are flat so pretty easy to read. A couple of the holes are tight and you have to think about your tee shot, others are wide open. There is a bit of water and the setting is nice. The course also has probably the best bunkers I have played in the UK. Looks like they have done a lot of work on them and the sand is perfect and easy to rake with one hand. Nizels is worth a visit in summer if you are in the area.
Thanks for the review Jamie and we look forward to welcoming you back soon .
Fantastic experience: Lovely golf course and facilities.
Thank you for you kind words : )
Negative experience: What reviews? I havn't done any!@
ok - apologies
Negative experience: Course was in a state sadly. Layout is top but it’s in such a bad way.
Fyn - so sorry you didnt enjoy your round today - the course is clay based and very wet due to the local flooding at the moment and the unpercidented amount of rainfall we have had recently . We have only been open Tuesday and Wednesday this week for light member play . Do contact the club directly so we can organise another round for you in the Spring when Nizels comes into its own .
Positive experience: The gym is tiny, meaning it gets packed quickly. I try to avoid busy hours, but there have been several times where I’ve had to leave and go home because there is just no space to workout! I have also emailed nizels several times about something else and didn’t hear back from them. It’s such a shame because this gym does so well in other areas… including cleanliness, friendliness and facilities
Please do e-mail [email protected] and I can respond to your query immedaitely . Apoligies we havent responded so far . Alternatively PM us your contact details so we can call you today .We are having a busy January but there are still plenty of times each day we have quieter session so can let you know when these are if you prefer these. Thanks again for your review.
Fantastic experience: Really friendly and well run. Immaculate facilities.
Thank you David for your kind review - much appreciated
Fantastic experience: Lovely place, lovely people
Positive experience: Cold showers, keep telling reception but no change after 2 months. Decor downstairs in restaurant a bit dated and frequently staff seem over run and doing extra shifts at short notice. Lessons often fully booked within 1hr of going live on their app so can't do basics like yoga or pilates. Very expensive for what ends up being a gym with a pool.
Frances - so sorry to learn you are unhappy with the Club . Happy to chat further and we will give you a call to chat further .
Negative experience: Worst food, had to wait over an hour and quality was not fit for a dog. Gym staff friendly but overcrowded most times. sauna and steam room constantly well below temperature providing great breeding ground for covid 19 and same for the jacuzzi. Do not waste the money on a company that puts your health at risk.
Matt - we are so sorry you feel this way about the Club and we are more than happy to discuss your feedback with you in person if you would leave us your contact details .
Positive experience: Considering the recent wet weather I thought the course was in general excellent. Will certainly be returning
Glynn - thanks for feedback and see you again soon
Negative experience: I was really looking forward to playing Nizels, apparently they were having some work done on the course so we got a tenner back from our green fee!! The course should have been closed, it was more like a building site. Stop taking people’s money tell them the truth that it’s unplayable. So disappointed.
Hello Peter, Thank you for the feedback message. I'm sorry you were disappointed with your visit to Nizels over the weekend. You are correct we have had some bunker and drainage works through the summer months which meant a few temporary tees/greens during that time. All 18 holes are open now but as you say, 12 bunkers remain fenced off as GUR whilst the turf and seeding takes hold. There are We have reduced the green fees accordingly and there is a very clear message on our online booking platform that informs our visitors that 12 bunkers are GUR and fenced off. As time passes, the fences will come down and the bunkers will become open for play, we just need to manage this appropriately to avoid unnecessary damage ahead of full recovery. We care really excited about the course improvements, I hope you can come and visit us again when we are back to regular play. David
Positive experience: Have been a member here for a couple of years. A lovely golf course that’s had a lot of investment in it recently. Indoors, there’s a good gym and swimming pool, and a couple of bars for food and drink. Worth a visit!
Thanks so much for your kind words and lovely recommendation - much appreciated
Fantastic experience: There was some serious work going on and two holes were shortened but only 1 temporary green. The remainder of the course was in very good condition.
Thanks for the review Mark and we look forward to welcoming you back once the works are completed .
Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities with a golf course entering the last phase of bunker improvement. Approachable and knowedgeable PGA golf professional, David Hobbs, adds to the enjoyment of club membership. Altogether first class.
Thank you for the great feedback - much appreciated Alasdair and I will pass on your kind words to David .
Fantastic experience: What a beautiful venue. Really nice feel to Nizels when you drive in and a warm welcome in the attractive clubhouse. The golf course is a joy to play and was beautifully presented yesterday. A really enjoyable mix of golf holes with stunning views of the Kent countryside and some great shots over water too. We all really enjoyed our round of golf and the post round drinks on the terrace outside the clubhouse watching others play into the18th green rounded things off very nicely. What a treat ! Thank you so much Nizels. We look forward to returning soon for another game.
Thank you so much for your kind words - very much appreciated
Fantastic experience: Lovely golf course and sports complex. Well kept and managed.
Hello Mark, Thank you very much for your positive feedback, see you on the course again soon!
Fantastic experience: Good club with nice bar and atmosphere. No cash used at bar, just cards. Full range of drinks available as far as I could tell. Wonderful location, and convenient for Sevenoaks and Tonbridge/Hildenborough.
Thank you Henry for your feedback, we do have coke from the glass bottles at the bar, also cans of drinks such as San Pellegrino, do check with the bar staff next time, we always aim to be well stocked behind the bar. Thank you again.
Fantastic experience: Nice !!!
Fantastic experience: Had my daughter's 30th birthday party would definitely recommend it, the staff were excellent as well...
Fantastic experience: Came yesterday for mothers day meal with family & had a wonderful time thanks to a great experience from the restaurant. My daughter is autistic and I did not think it would be possible wen she had a meltdown not long after we got there. Thanks to the manager for allowing faye to let us rearrange to eat in another part of restaurant so it was just our family as it was to overwhelming for her.. x
Lisa - thank you so much for letting us know and I am delighted you were able to enjoy your lunch yesterday . I hope you had a lovely mothers day and please always let us know if we can do anything to help . We have lots of spaces you daughter may feel more comfortable in and I am happy to meet anytime ( I have an autistic son myself so do understand how important this is as a family ) and would be delighted to help in any way I can . Best wishes Nicky ( General Manager)
Positive experience: It’s generally great. Staff especially. I take off one star as considering the prices of the memberships you’d expect excellence but cleanliness is not top notch in my opinion.
Serena - thanks for your feedback -very much appreciated
Positive experience: Great chicken and bacon baguette but expensive. Very nice club bar/dining room. And again!
Thanks for your feedback Graham - hope to welcome you back soon
Fantastic experience: Wonderful fireworks display
Thanks Matt - so glad you enjoyed the evening
Positive experience: Very nice place
Fantastic experience: Freindly and with plenty of facilities and classes to suit everybody.
Thanks for your feedback Ivan - much appreciated
Positive experience: Quaint, pretty, serene and picturesque environment. Easy access, plenty of parking, beautiful vista/ location. Welcoming and warm ambience.
Negative experience: For a relaxing country club its anything but. A great venue if you have a family and want to use it as a children's play area. I joined the club last year thinking it was a relaxing country club, spa, golf and good food. I couldn't be more wrong. The place has small children running around all the time and the food is really poor. I would however say the golf is on point and the staff really look after the course. If you have a family and dont mind the un relaxing environment with sub standard over priced food then this is the place for you.
I am so sorry you are not enjoying the health side of your membership and we are more than happy to meet at the Club to discuss your feedback further .
Fantastic experience: Great venue for a night out
Lynn - thank you so much for your recommendation - much appreciated
Fantastic experience: Lovely gym, great friendly staff
Positive experience: Nice course, greens were great, just doesn't "suit my eye". Probably would be ok if I'd played it recently. Too many cut shots required.
Thanks for your feedback Martin and we look forward to welcoming you back again .
Positive experience: Played a Seniors golf match there. Nizels is a golf and leisure facility with excellent gym facilities. Large car parking gives ample room for visitors. The bar area and dining is exceptional with outdoor seating overlooking the course, Well worth a visit.
Positive experience: Attended a golf event here a couple of months ago. Lovely course, only downside was I lost a lot of balls
Thank you for your review
Positive experience: Nizels caters for my needs in every way. Kerry, the new customer manager is the frontline and in my view is an asset to the club. Christopher.
Negative experience: poor value for money. The overall organisation ability of the management is poor focus is on money and not the members. class bookings is a nightmare. Despite having staff at the cafe service is poor, no acknowledge staff see through you. food orders is slow. the cleanliness and comfort studios is poor.
I have written to you this morning Debbie and as explained I am sorry you are unhappy with the club. I have revoked your class booking ban and I am more than happy to chat in person when it is convenient to do so . Best wishes Nicky
Negative experience: Very very wet and muddy. No trollies allowed except pull trollies or electric with winter wheels...not hedgehogs.
Fantastic experience: Great for place for all
Thanks for your lovely review Sophie - much appreciated from the team at Nizels.
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, pool and spa, then a bar / cafeteria good quality food and drinks. Superb and friendly service.
Thank you for your lovely feedback - much appreciated .
Fantastic experience: Great staff, wonderful building. All round a lovely place to be and relax, workout or play golf.
Thank you for the review - much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: I use Nizels health club for the excellent sauna, steam room and swimming facilities etc,. It's great for family swimming during the day, if you can afford the membership. I would describe the gym and Aura spa as top notch. The catering facilities include large café/diner, restaurant and bar. There's also ample room for evening functions which many local businesses take advantage of. Plenty of free parking and a beautiful rural golf course setting too. Highly recommended ...
Thank you so much for your kind words and lovely review - much appreciated Ashley
Fantastic experience: Funny name, but I didn't have time to stop. Ryan needs me.
Bob Thanks for your feedback . I look forward to meeting you at the Club soon to discuss this further. Best wishes Nicky
Negative experience: The events manager is a disgrace didn’t even bother to come and meet the person organising the charity event which would of also benefited there takings in the bar for that day day Waited over an hour for our table to be cleared after lunch If you want to feel special forget this place
I am so sorry that our service did not meet your expectations. Tito and Anthony were assigned to looking after your golf day as we no longer have an Event Manager at the Club . We were certainly unaware of this feedback on the day to which we are truly sorry. Apologies again and we will call you later today to apologise in person and get further detail of your feedback from the day.
Fantastic experience: Love this beautiful Country Club, can’t wait until it reopens fully!
Negative experience: Nice club great course but the staff are completely useless. they provide no information in how to collect refunds and have very little clue on what they are actually doing
Fantastic experience: Best place within 5 miles of Sevenoaks for a gym & golf membership. A good refurbishment last year has improved the pool/spa area a lot and the sizeable gym has the latest equipment. The golf course isn’t top tier but if that’s vital then it’s highly unlikely you’d ever go near a gym
Fantastic experience: Recently joined the Health Club, lovely and helpful staff! Always a smile and happy to help. Facilities are nice and clean, recently refurbished. Had lunch there today and really liked the Prawn and Quinoa salad! Beautiful place.
Positive experience: Some great features of this club including lovely pool and spa area, good classes, great kids club/Creche, friendly staff......let down by disappointing mid week kids swim times for pre-school age children and terrible food. Wait time’s are really long and selection is generally pretty low quality and unhealthy. A healthy selection of pre prepared breakfast and lunch options like pret or similar would be so much more helpful as most of the time I don’t have an hour spare to wait for food and eat!....Menu not changed in 10yrs and coffee is not good at all either. This really needs addressing as it’s the main thing letting the club down!
Negative experience: golf course is fine, but as a venue for party 2/5.. slow, poor quality of food. ordered in advance, but they still managed to get the meals wrong and very late, which was our fault apparently...! customer service at its best!!
Positive experience: Great facilities: gym, changing rooms, pool, spa area all clean and very well maintained after a recent refurbishment. Good stuff........BUT....... Terrible food - don't bother with even the simplest of items on the menu....tried several times to give the benefit of the doubt...but no...just awful. Corners clearly cut everywhere on the food front - and too numerous to mention. Bit of a shame. They need a new chef/ kitchen team.
Fantastic experience: If you need somewhere of a party for about 80 people look no further. A great venue with a perfect layout and really helpful staff. We had a great party.
Peter Shaw, thank you for your feedback. We hope to welcome you back to Nizels soon.
Fantastic experience: Service excellent , food superb.
Fantastic experience: One of the best course's i've played in kent. Very good test of golf
Positive experience: A good gym and spa,recently refurbished to a high standard, for the more discerning clientele.
Positive experience: Very pleasant
Fantastic experience: Great course good facilities good food
Fantastic experience: Great fireworks display
Fantastic experience: Well kept golf course and excellent facilities
Positive experience: Nice restaurant with children’s play area open to non members
Positive experience: Not actually used the facilities as was just dropping someone off for a class but it's lovely and clean and tidy and staff seemed friendly. Too expensive for me membership wise though.
Fantastic experience: Course can be tough, but we'll maintained and good value
Positive experience: Very good. Drainage routes on fairways are many and can be a problem. Serious work being carried out on a couple of holes.
Fantastic experience: Good greens.
Fantastic experience: Great golf course, some challenging holes with plenty of water, will definitely be coming back to play here again
Fantastic experience: We love it as a family. We do play golf and use the gym facilities. Worth it!
Fantastic experience: lovely
Positive experience: Expensive and not as many facilities as comparable clubs like David Lloyd. Good food though at a reasonable cost, and knowledgeable gym staff. And they have golf course and a pool.
Fantastic experience: Great golf
Positive experience: Food below average.
Fantastic experience: Very nice course and staff
Positive experience: For a days golf play in the summer as it is very soggy enny over time if you want a course to join well if you like to play from 7 to 10 tee times don't go here as you will never get a tee time
Fantastic experience: Great course & Clubhouse.
Negative experience: Been a member for 14 years. Now it's over crowded and a problem to get into classes, such a shame!
Fantastic experience: It is a nice club. I go to the gym and the pool so can't comment on golf.
Positive experience: Went for a good dinner function in a characterful beamed function room
Fantastic experience: Really nice club, very friendly, excellent amenities in nice surroundings
Thank you for the kind review Allan - very much appreciated for the Nizels Team.
Positive experience: Good facilities but costly
Fantastic experience: Always a good place to swim and to eat.
Fantastic experience: Lovely
Positive experience: Really nice course and clubhouse. Expensive green fees for visitors without a member.
Negative experience: Terrible food
Fantastic experience: Lovely club. Great course
Fantastic experience: Really good 18 holes. The course is great and technical. Fairway are large and are easy to play. Green are much more technical and harder to play. I only play 3 times but in 3 different conditions. Winter, summer and autumn and always been a pleasure as the courses are very well maintained. I would recommend
Negative experience: Lovely golf course but if you bring a golf society here spending over £1000 be prepared to enjoy your post competition meal and presentation at one end of the swimming pool canteen. Apparently they can't understand the problem!!!
Fantastic experience: I was at a friends 60th birthday party. Had a great time. Best night of the year so far.
Negative experience: Poor show of food at Christmas. Total waste of money.
Positive experience: Good Christmas works dinner and drinks
Negative experience: Lovely club and I'm sure it's a great course but due to a misleading and complicated online booking system and an unbelievably unaccommodating, arrogant and stubborn general manager we didn't get to play. Shocking customer service.
Positive experience: Well maintained and interesting golf course
Positive experience: Play a round of golf here with my brother we enjoyed the course and would recommend it.
Fantastic experience: Very good gym and friendly staff
Fantastic experience: Very friendly place to meet up
