Further to a two-week warm weather fitness and cricket training camp at Desert Springs by squad members of the Lancashire County Cricket Club he had this to say;

"After spending a week at Desert Springs with several of the Lancashire CCC professional squad I can thoroughly recommend it as a venue.

The excellent outdoor grass facilities provided us with the perfect conditions for fielding and agility work.

This alongside the gymnasium, sandpits and trim trail gave ample scope for varied and constructive training.

This all takes place in the idyllic setting of a golf course which provides a perfect environment for hard work, in depth discussions and pure enjoyment.

By the end of the week not only had we gained knowledge and experience, but as a team we had become fitter and stronger, not just physically but mentally.

The staff were outstanding in all aspects and the food was exceptional and completely tailored to our requirements.

All in all a fantastic week for all involved."

Hope all well
Thanks

My brother and I played here in early Feb.

Spectacular setting high up in the mountains and a true desert track. Miss the fairway and you're in the sand!

Quite challenging and perhaps not for beginners, it's a fairly tight and long course. Some long holes!

We had lunch in the club house afterwards and took an English breakfast each which was almost as spectacular as the course.

The course is in a wonderful quiet and serene area that adds to the enjoyment of playing.

The club house is a great place to while away an hour or two after your round.

Will definitely return!

Subject: Friday Golf Society Away Day at Desert Springs

Hello Nacho,

Please accept the sincere thanks of myself and my members for the very pleasant day we spent a Desert Springs yesterday.

Your help and attention made the day a most enjoyable event, for the 42 members who participated, and all have asked me to pass on their thanks.

Your staff there should be commended for the way in which they treat your clients, with a level of service and courtesy that are far too often lacking in these modern times. Nothing was too much trouble and all requests made by our members were greeted with a warm and friendly response.

I realise that one should not sort out individuals for praise, when the whole staff perform at a high standard, however, certain persons deserve a mention ie The young man in golf reception, Aiesha in the caddy masters office, Ellie and Michael in the restaurant and of course yourself.

Our society WILL return for more away days at Desert Springs be assured.

Thanks for making our visit so memorable.

Kind Regards,
Alan Sly

We would like to show our appreciation to your staff who always looked after everything so well but did not know how to make sure tipping got to everyone.

Thanks again Tania – we really did have a fantastic time and we are already planning next year.

Looking forward to seeing you soon.
