"Please convey my gratitude to Luis, Heather, the chefs and the front of house team for a lovely evening my family experienced in the Private Dining Room. Everyone enjoyed a superb meal, beautifully cooked and delivered with excellent service.
Nothing was too much trouble and the staff are a credit to Hurlston Hall. My family were very impressed with the quality of the food and how well they were looked after. They’re already looking forward to returning to The Scullery."

• All players must have a booked tee time before playing. • Please check in with the Golf Shop team before heading to the first tee. • Play must begin from the 1st tee.
If you are unable to attend your booking, please cancel your tee time as early as possible so another member has the opportunity to play. If you are the lead booker (you made the booking) you can transfer the tee-time to another member in the party.
Please note: Players found playing from the back 9 during the morning will be asked to return to the 1st tee.
