From a Party Organiser:

Hi Jane,

Everyone had a lovely evening and I received some very complimentary comments from our guests on how nice both the food and atmosphere were. All the staff were polite and helpful, especially the lady with the pink hair to whom my daughter is extremely grateful for the help with setting up!

I would have no reservations about using you again myself or recommending you to others.

Thanks for everything.

From the Secretary of a Golf Society:

Hi Gary,

Just wanted to leave you a quick note on behalf of the society thanking everyone in the team at West Hove for their assistance in making it such an enjoyable day. Pauline and Jane were so helpful when sorting all aspects of the booking, food tasty and well presented, Harvey�s in the bar superb! Course in great condition considering the downpour the previous evening.  I know am a member, but if all society bookings receive the same excellent service (and I�m sure they do) then it�s of great credit to our club.

Kind regards and best wishes for Christmas and the New Year to all the staff at West Hove.

It was lovely to meet you.

As this was on my birthday it was just perfect. My party of 10 lovely ladies all had a fabulous time . The food was superb and the DJ brilliant. The staff were very helpful and chatty. I must say that the room was beautifully decorated and had a lovely atmosphere.

I will certainly keep a look out for next year events.

All the Best

From a visiting Golf Club Past Captain:

Hi Gary,

I must confirm our conversation of earlier today and express my gratitude for arranging golf for our group of Vets at short notice and at such a good price.

Without exception, everyone, not only enjoyed the day but could not stop talking about the condition of your course. It has stood up to the recent bad weather so well, both the greens and fairways are in fantastic condition and your green staff should rightly be proud of their work.

Testament to this is that a member of our party, a previous Course Director at our club went round in four over gross and led his team to victory by amazing 18 points. 

It was really nice that three West Hove Past Captains saw fit to welcome us and your staff in the bar were helpful as always.

Thank you again for delivering the "West Hove experience".

Kind Regards

From an Event Organiser:

Dear Jane

Many thanks for hosting our meeting last night, the feedback from members was very positive. We had an excellent turnout and all enjoyed the meeting. The buffet was superb, especially the sausage rolls, and timings were spot on. Your staff were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble, we were suitably impressed!!

Thank you again, I do very much hope that we can use your facilities again in the near future

With kind regards

Weddings From a Bride and Groom after their wedding reception at the Clubhouse :

Dear Jane,

West Hove Golf Club made my day. Jane promised she would do her best in making my wedding day special and I have to say she achieved much more than I was expecting!! I am a very organised person and I was scared to give out the setting up of the venue to someone as they can't see what my mind had planned and what it should look like. As I got to know Jane my fears soon vanished as much as they could for a bride anyway!! I could tell Jane was going to be organised, symmetrical and know what she was doing. These are things that you could maybe expect from someone in Jane's position but I didn't expect to feel like she had so much time for me when I needed her advice/help. My biggest shock was when Jane took some of the pressure off me by helping organise when contractors could come to set up and to go through with each person from the drape hire to the photo booth.

I dropped all of the items off to Jane the day before my amazing wedding day and I did not see or speak to her until the time I walked in to the reception room and I was blown away by how well it was all done. It was so well set up you would have thought a bride had done it because it looked so perfect, as if a lot of heart and thought had gone into everything. You need someone you can trust to help you with your wedding day, to give that job of setting up your room as you are too busy to do it yourself and I can tell you Jane is the one.

The venue itself is beautiful. First of all you drive to the venue and you actually can't believe how close it is to the dual carriage way as it's so green and you don't hear the traffic. Then as you walk in to the Clubhouse you see a beautiful staircase which was a strong point for me I really thought it was like a fairytale wedding. Up the staircase through the doors you then get blown away by the views, they really are incredible.

The food, well what can I say! Try a taster and it speaks for itself! The flavours in your mouth, it tastes so good you don't know when to stop!! You can go and have food up there as we did and you can tell you are going to get a delicious meal as we did. Clay the catering manager is very happy to meet with you and go through ideas. We had new ideas on our menu and they went down a treat, we had lots of compliments. Brides, make sure you have a taster as you won't get much down you on the day and you'll regret not having any after everyone tells you how lovely it is!!

I don't have time to go in to all of the finer details but I would like to say a massive thank you to Jane, Clay and all of the team there that helped with my wedding day. I wouldn't have changed a single thing and that's saying something. If you want someone to support you and make you feel like you can achieve a fantastic day for you and your guests Jane's the lady. If you want to make sure your guests are not complaining about being hungry, Clay and his team are your guys. And if you want a venue with a view and plenty of space then West Hove Golf Club is your place. Good luck to any future Mr and Mrs and all the best to everyone at West Hove Golf club that made my day.

From a Volunteer Event Organiser:

'On behalf of our ten elderly guests and drivers I would like to say a big thank you to Clay and all the restaurant staff who served us so well and those who work in the kitchen. We all enjoyed a lovely lunch, the food was excellent and the service was second to none with nothing being too much trouble, the staff were friendly and accommodating. We came once before last year and found the same, hence our return for a special treat. Due to the frailty of many of our guests, lunch at West Hove Golf Club is perfect, with help as needed at the Carvery. Thanks especially to Julie who looked after us so well.'

Weddings

From a Bride and Groom after their wedding reception at the Clubhouse :

Thank you so much Jane for all your hard work .......getting the room ready for Tara and Jon's wedding!!!
You must have been exhausted carrying all the table decorations and placing them in exactly the right places!!
There did seem to be a lot of them ....and we did feel a bit guilty about that!
It really did look fantastic though ......compared to when we left it on Friday night.....when we were  all so tired!

We spoke to Tara and Jon this evening and they said they were speechless when they opened the door!!
You really did them proud.... and as you said it was lovely for them to see it first!!
Your advice about the table crystals and post box was much appreciated too....as these small extra things made a difference and we probably wouldn't have thought of them!!

We also have had very complimentary feedback from the guests about the meal which was delicious and beautifully served!!

Certainly we were very pleased with our choice of venue and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others!!

We meant to mention that we found someone's red tie the following morning....so if someone was looking for it and left their details ...we could return it. Hope we are not too late on that one!!

Once again Jane thank you for all your help......Brilliant!!

From the organiser of a large Private Party

"We just wanted to say an absolute massive thank you for all you did to make our work party exceptional. We did make lots of changes at the last hour but nothing was too much trouble and everything run 100% smoothly on the night. Everyone was extremely accommodating and could not do enough for us. The table layouts looked amazing and the room was perfect for our arrival. The ambience was amazing.

We have visited many venue's over the years and 103 people are all saying that this the was the best yet. Clay and his team provided the best food we have ever had. Every course was totally delicious. Everyone is still talking about the chocolate brownie and it has "gone famous " by being the most photographed item on our own Facebook page!

The waiting staff and the bar staff worked so hard all night and were the politest we have every met. Please thank them all personally from all of us. We appreciate all that everyone did for us. We could not have asked for anymore.

The disco at the end really topped off a brilliant night.

I would highly recommend anyone to hold a party/work function here. We will 100% be coming again."

From another Bride and Groom after their wedding reception at the Clubhouse :

"Dear Jane and all at WHGC,
I just wanted to write to you and say a massive thank-you for all of your help in making our Wedding Day so wonderful.
Jane - for dealing with all my concerns, queries and making the room look beautiful, it was perfect. Exactly how I wanted it.
Clay + Catering Team - for their outstanding food, I must say I had many compliments about the main meals and buffet. You did a great job, I couldn't fault it; I just wish my appetite was better on the day, I think the nerves got the better of me, I would have stuffed my face it was that scrummy.
And thanks to everyone else, who helped in making my day one to remember. I would definitely recommend to people having a wedding (reception) at West Hove Golf Club.
Thanks Again
Kind Regards"

"Hi Gary
Just a quick line to tell you that I arranged for a party of 10 to meet and eat in the restaurant at West Hove Golf Club yesterday. From the time of our arrival, the catering staff were fabulously smiley, helpful and courteous. The lovely white table-cloths, cutlery and presentation was fantastic and the food simply superb; plentiful, beautifully cooked, wholesome and so very tasty that it was difficult to stop eating. The whole setup was as good as any restaurant in town. Please convey our comments to the caterers.
Yours sincerely"

Weddings From a Bride and Groom after their wedding reception at the Clubhouse :

"Dear Jane and the team at West Hove Golf Club.
We are writing this with massive thanks for all Jane, Clay and the team did for us on our wonderful wedding day June 8th 2013.
We had the perfect day, venue was amazing, the welcome from Jane and all the team and staff so welcoming. The day was gorgeous not a cloud in the sky.
The food was so excellent, we had the best food Clay and the team gave us, a wonderful three course meal, the attention to detail fantastic. From the chilled salmon starter to the slow roast lamb and chocolate torte, all mouth watering. The service from Clay's team was friendly and they were all very happy to help us with everything.
From the first day I emailed Jane she has been a constant source of knowledge and guided me through our day step by step, even being there on the day to welcome us all in and hand us our Champagne, I do not know what I would have done without her always ready to speak to us on the phone and give us guidance the week before.
I would recommend the golf club to any couple to have their perfect day, your professionalism was apparent throughout our whole experience.
Please accept our heartfelt thanks and we can honestly say that all our guests have phoned and written to say it was simply exceptional."

Thank you Gary Salt for all your help in organising and preparing the course and tee times.
We had a putting competition which raised �69 and a massive raffle with generous donations by all my friends which in total we raised �800. My Dad's charity was the Salvation Army and The Martlets Hospice (�400 each).
I would like to say thank you again to everyone who was involved. This will be an annual event and hope to see everyone again next year."

"Dear Gary
Charity Golf Day
I wish to thank your staff and members for their vigilance and honesty.
As you know I managed to lose three personal items over the day all of which were handed back to me before the football had started that evening.
Although I believe myself lucky I think the club should also take the credit for restoring my faith in the human race. Thank you also for putting on a memorable day for all of those attending.
Kind regards,
Yours sincerely...."

Jane, the Wedding Co-ordinator, was so helpful and all the staff were so professional, whilst also being friendly and helpful. So many people commented on how high the standard was regarding the food and we definitely appreciated it after quite a long day!
It was also so helpful being able to drop most of the bits off to you the day before, and I had complete confidence that when I arrived everything would be in place - and it was. Thank you Jane, for all your time, patience and effort, before and on the day."

AND SOME COMMENTS FROM VISITING GOLFERS!
 




 

From the SCLGA Division 1 Secretary

"On behalf of the County I would like to thank you and everyone at West Hove Golf Club for making Thursday such a happy and successful day. Everything turned out superbly and even the heavy rain in the afternoon could not spoil the occasion. We were all made to feel very welcome.
Our special thanks to you, Gary, for your superb preparation and organisation which ensured the day ran smoothly; to the Lady Captain Rita for giving up her time to spend the whole day with us even in such a busy year and proving a wonderful ambassador for your Club. It was a delight to work with her.
Please convey our thanks to your 'flower lady' for her beautiful floral arrangement in County colours. All the 'ball spotters' did sterling work looking after our players over many hours, could you pass on our grateful thanks and appreciation. I believe Andy Page used his influence to encourage some of the Seniors to help which was great!
Would you pass on our thanks to Clay and his Catering Staff for being so helpful in providing an appetizing menu and your Greens Staff for the presentation of the Course in a challenging but fair way.
I have already presented you with a cheque from SCLGA as a thank you for hosting our event and hope that we will be able to hold future events at your Club in coming years."

Yours sincerely
Joan Jarman
SCLGA Division 1 Secretary

From the Lady Captain of a visiting Golf Club

"Our exchange of emails were a good investment of time for the preparations paid off with a first class outing for the ladies of our G.C. Many of them made complimentary remarks on the condition of West Hove course as well as on the food and its presentation. But more; providing the two gentlemen as starters and the Lady Captain taking the trouble to welcome us are the personalised touches that make for distinction.
Please be sure to convey our thanks to the staff; with the fine weather it was a perfect day and some respectable scores were returned. Once again, many thanks for a perfect day."
