When I played here it was on a deal through Scoopon and my friend and I had a blast. I've given 4 stars for value for the coupon deal, however not quite sure on the individual pricing for games and hire etc.
We played midweek and it was pretty quiet at the course, so we weren't rushed which was good.
The course is laid out well and we had a good day out there. The Cart worked well and we had no complaints with that. Hire clubs were a little bit of a mismatched set but you can't really expect too much for hire clubs I suppose (all the good clubs get stolen from the hire sets) - my friend was a left hander and they had hire clubs for him as well which was good.

Had a beer in the clubhouse (which is more like a temp building), it ticked all the boxes but wasn't the nicest place I've ever been - however I think I heard that the old clubhouse burned down so I won't hold that against them as they had a full functioning TAB etc set up in the facility.

Had a good day, enjoyed the course and the staff were all nice and helpful enough. Would recommend the course to friends.

Meals here are good quality, and can be quite well priced with deals. I think Saturday night it was any main meal for $15 bucks - not a bad deal.

Drinks are pretty expensive.

All in all its the pricing and dress codes of the city but location is a pain to get to. Not to mention if you don't meet the dress code you can't exactly go to the place next door.
Not bad for a night out with your mates or with the family for dinner.

Starting to look a bit messy on Friday nights though..

I read someone else's comments about the placing trying to cater to too many markets, seems pretty spot on. At night it's for 18 year olds, during the day for families etc...

Food and drink are all good quality, but pricing isn't that amazing on a normal day.

Worth a look.

Have been here with a friend and they had great deals on Chicken Snitzels at the time.. Not sure if it's every night or just certain nights per week.
We were both very satisfied with the food (and all the other meals looked great too)
With the deals the pricing was quite good.
Recommend giving it a try.

I LOVE these donuts, but when you look at the price and what you end up with you're usually best off heading to your local bakery and picking up an assortment of sweets.

KK's at Penrith is good for a treat and in regards to service they get the job done.

Nothing to write home about..

I stayed at this resort for a work conference with about 60 colleagues.
Not only did we have accommodation at the Resort we were also having our Conference in their facilities which included lunches and breaks on multiple days and dinner one night.

Being lactose intolerant I notice the difference between staff who are willing to help and those who are not, and to top it off this time I had a broken leg so I was a lot less mobile.
Not only did they offer a lactose free alternative during all the meals but they actually came around to serve it to me. One day I had to go back to my room for morning tea and when I returned I noticed they had pulled a chair aside for me to sit on and had my plate of food there as well.

I really could not fault any part of this trip from the the reception, bar and food staff through to the facilities onsite.

I cannot comment on the cost as it was all covered by my work, but I can assure you the service was top notch from all staff I dealt with.

I did not hear one negative comment from any of my colleagues as well.

Once a month I am send to this shopping centre for work and I always take the opportunity to pick up some battered fish and chips from this store. I have never tried the fresh seafood, but I have to say I think the take away is great.

I wouldn't go to Westpoint just to get their fish and chips, but if I am there then this is where I'll get them from and am always happy.

I have bought a few items in the past from this store and I always end up getting a great deal. I got my TV, camera and home theatre from this store and even when they did not have stock they organised another way for me to get the item from another store.
Dan is especially helpful on the sales floor, though all the staff have been helpful with any side questions I have.
Definitely will be shopping again at this store!

I have been using this store for a few years now and have NEVER had any issues with pricing or with service here. The staff are really helpful and don't just point you in a direction they actually will walk you there as well and help you choose.

As I work in the opposite direction I tend to use other chemists as well, but if possible I head to PNW for scripts and also for vitamins etc.

I called this store looking for soccer boots as they were where I bought my last pair. The young girl on the phone looked at the computer and then spent 5 minutes or so checking the actual shelves looking for the size and style of boot I was after.. When she could not find what I wanted she then detailed all the stores near me which had options for me and I then went to one of those stores to buy the boots.
I honestly was a bit disappointed that all the effort she went to for a phone call and the sale went to another store. Great service even when they knew they didn't have what I needed.

While buying soccer boots I found that this was the only store in the area which had my size in the style of boot I wanted, I called and they put them away for me.
Then once I turned up to the store they still took the time to size them and show me other alternatives which I ended up going for the model above the one I called for.
It was great to be sold soccer boots by someone who also plays!! Sure beats the "hearsay" advice that most stores give
