Fairways in Highland

Would never go back . Asked for roast of the day with gravy on the side and dish arrived covered in gravy. The waitress took it back and the chef transferred the gravy sodden food onto a clean plate with a jug of gravy on the side. Working in the catering industry I would never have treated a customer like that no matter how long they would have had to wait for another fresh meal to be made. I was offered something else but by this stage my appetite was spoiled. Other meals served to my family were dry (other roast dinners and lasagne).

Good choice of options on the menu, something for everyone's taste. Would recommend the mac cheese, big portion piping hot, served with a side salad. Fish & Chips served with Peas went down a treat with my husband, the fish was the full length of the plate. Reasonable priced. Will definitely be back and would recommend to family & friends

Was there for lunch today - I had the haggis and cheese toastie followed by the banoffee pie 😋 I should've taken photos but couldn't wait to tuck in - I hadn't been here for years but will definitely be going back sooner next time 👍

We've been here a few times because it's close to my brother-in-law's house. It's nice and bright, which is good for people with disabilities, there's a huge mix of people - from young families, lads having a night out (they aren't riotous) and those in their 60's and 70's like us! What prompted me to write this review is that we were here last week and a couple of us a couple of us had the 'mac & cheese' and it was excellent. My wife makes a really good mac & cheese but this one was better ..and even she said so, so I'm not risking a divorce by saying this! The staff are lovely and the service is good. The food is unpretentious and good value.

Lovely meal served by friendly staff.

Great feed on a Wednesday night, reasonable price, all together no Issues would there again if I was ever in Inverness again.

Visited Saturday 24th February, 24, Food was very well presented and tasted lovely. Interaction between staff and the customer were first class. There was a sporting event on in the next bar which is separate to the restaurant, this works well as this didn't interfere with my overall experience. Overall it was a satisfying visit and we plan to go again.

Very pleasant lunch and reasonably priced

A lovely place to visit, just been renovated with a lovely, fresh look to the place. You don't need to be a member of play golf to visit here.

Nice friendly staff nice golf range highly recommend. Didn't have any food so can't comment.

We went for the Sunday Carvery and I must say it was probably the best carvery I have had. For one, it had lamb as a meat option, which is very rare at carverys. It was nicely cooked and moist not dry. The vegetables were excellent, nice and firm, not over cooked and mushy as I have experienced at othe carverys. It is just a shame I now live in Germany and can't visit this place a bit more often.

Young waitress named Emily was very helpful and kind to us this fine evening she couldn’t of be anything less than brilliant

Went as walk in customers a few weeks ago during school holidays. We were quickly seated and a drinks order taken. The waiter was attentive and talked us through the menu. Service was great and food arrived quickly. Food was excellent, good sized portions without being too much.

Made a booking and thankful we did as Sundays by the looks of things will require a booking and their Famous Carvery is the reason! We both opted for it (1 lamb, 1 beef) served by the chef then you help yourself to the rest! Roast/boiled tatties, the most delicious cauliflower cheese, brocolli, swede & carrot mix, yorkies and gravy selection to partner your chosen meat. £14.95 pp and worth it! It was absolutely delicious. We shared the Malteser cheesecake which was delicious too. Definitely be back and highly recommend the carvery. Service was 1st class too.

Excellent food quality. Nice ambience.

Dinner was fine but nothing special. My partners rump steak was a bit gristly and the fish was a bit tasteless although the batter was nice. We also used the driving range. Lots of parking

Nice decor friendly staff however forgot most of the drinks oder l ordered the rump steak rare it was tiny paper thin and medium sent it back if anything it was even smaller and still over cooked won't be back

decided to go to fairways for dinner for a friends birthday, received a wonderful welcome. beautiful food and amazing service from imogen:

A group of friends came to use the driving range last week. It was fun and well worth the money. The restaurant was different. We came in and asked for a table to be told let me check..the place was dead..don't know why you need to check but they then seated us away in a cold corner next to a door. We waited for someone to come over and take a drinks order but no waitress came they the place was quiet but they all stood talking at the bar with what I think was a very unclean chef and a manager all joking around. 1 waitress then caught my friends eye and came over and took our order, we ordered drinks and food as waited so long. drinks arrived and food not long after as the chef left probably to cook our dinner. The food was very poor the hot dishes were cold my friends cesar salad she said had no parmesan and should really just be a chicken salad. We sat so long after we finished due to staff ignoring us we got up and went to the bar to pay and was given a card to review. It's too expansive for quality of food, drinks and service. We would go back to use the driving range but not the restaurant as such low standards especially for what we paid. The guy on the driving range was very good.

My usual stop for breakfast on a Monday morning. Always greeted with a smile and cheery hello from Adele. Service always excellent from Adele and Iona as is the cooked breakfast.

Way overpriced! Macaroni cheese and chips £18!! Lasagne and chips £18!! We found the menu a little deceptive.. lovely staff and food is nice enough but not sure we will return..

Had a brilliant Christmas lunch here with friends. Served incredibly patiently by Emma who Rognvald Mitchell said quote "was an angel". The food, service and atmosphere were great!

Food for party night upstairs was awful. Meagre, cheap and tasteless.

Food delicious and staff very helpful

Pretty dreadful actually. 3 diners...room cold, meat so tough it was almost inedible, rock hard sprouts and chunks of rock hard carrot. No atmosphere at all. I know it was a Monday but staff gave impression just couldn't be bothered and the dirty look from the cook as we entered set the tone for the whole evening. We won't be back

Food was lovely, really good. But for some reason the waitresses kept staring at my group and chatting to one another at the bar which made the meal quite uncomfortable.

Overall enjoyed it, but room for improvement! Very friendly welcome, but unfortunately we could barely hear a thing across our table once we were sat down as the noise from other tables carried really badly in a low-ceilinged room. Nobody's fault, just the building design but wasn't great to be beside big party groups. Food was mainly fine, but it seemed a bit much to have to pay an extra £3 for chips to go with a (not great) macaroni cheese which already cost £14.45. appreciate cost of.living gone up amd all that, but... Fish and chips were good, turkey dinner could have been better. Only one pig in blanket, literally over half the meat was just skin and no cranberry sauce. Tried to get hold of someone but no luck, and given the lack of meat it wasn't worth the effort pursuing it. Staff were friendly, but we played second fiddle to the big groups - such is the way of things in December, but not nice when you are out to supposedly celebrate a special occasion. We gave up after asking for the bill several times and then being encouraged to just get up and pay on way out, but got to say that if we had stayed for desserts, it would feel odd to have to go and look at them at a counter. Seemed to be mainly cakes and traybakes, and unfortunately the fact that they were in a cabinet didn't exactly give off the impression of freshness! I'd have gone back for the food as it was grand, but not willing to pay those prices and the fact that we were clearly second rate customers to the big groups (possibly not intentionally). Not how you win locals over and encourage them to return!

Went for lunch which I had booked a table for online. Lovely restaurant. Had Christmas menu on as well as normal menu. Fairways chicken was lovely served with coleslaw, choice of dip (sweet chill) and chips. Generous portion. Staff friendly and efficient.

Love going here with my girlfriend. Quite expensive but worth every penny. Staff are all polite and efficient, resteraunt looks really nice, comfy seating and fantastic tasting food. Again the cakes are quite expensive too but again totally worth it! 🤤

Staff were exceptional 👌. Thank you.

Food was good, but we got the wrong order

Interior great especially the Locker room. Restaurant toilets and function suite need an upgrade. We are in restaurant which was ok for dinner - a bit like a posh school dinner lacked finishing touches. Had chicken balmoral which is like what you would make at home for a mid week dinner, it needed more lift and plate appeal for the price you are paying which is considerable. Ok home cooking but you would expect more in a restaurant which has such lovely interior and amazing staff. The staff are fab, have a ‘can do’ attitude and very friendly. We are breakfast before we left and that was so much better than the dinner we had the night before. Staff member Iona and Mags need a mention as stand out. This place could be so much more if they upped their game in the restaurant at dinner! I hope when we come back which we will that this has changed! Wouldn’t take much!

Myself and a colleague visited here whilst on a trip from work. We were staying in the Travelodge and were late in arriving so needed dinner a flyer in the reception said the restaurant was open until 9pm we arrived just before 8:30 to be told they were closed when I questioned the opening hours also stated on there website we were told last orders were done, we asked to speak to a manager but no manager available. They then said they would seat us but we had to order straight away no problem as we were very hungry. Our food order was taken quickly but no drinks order we had to go up and ask for drinks. Our food came out quickly a burger that was clearly thrown in a microwave and fish and chips both chips with the meal were cold. It seemed after our food arrived all the staff disappeared to the back switching lights off and stacking chairs by this point we felt very unwelcome so we asked for our bill but by that point we were hunting staff down who were sitting in another bar area at the back. The food was too expensive for standard of quality and service, due to my job I am used to having to dine in similar restaurants always attached to premier inns or travelodges and no what to expect but you pay the price and staff at least happy for your custom this place definitely not wanting our custom. Next time we are staying we will choose differently.

A superb driving range. Reasonably priced. £7.50 for 48 balls or £10 for 96. Tip, if you only want to play 48, buy 96 as the machine dispenses 48 at a time and you can use the remaining on another day.

Fab Sunday carvery,great service

Super helpful, kind manager who squeezed us in when I made a mistake on our online booking. Family friendly, no problem to make a bit of noise, decent sized portions in clean surroundings.

Food really good Big portions Staff friendly Prices are good

Excellent pizza fireways swindon

Nice place. Food was very good an friendly staff.

My family ate here last week and had such an awful meal, we had to ask 3 times for a drink the staff all young and seemed not bothered and all just stood around chatting. When we eventually got there attention they never smiled or made eye contact. the food wasn't great either my lasagne was so burnt at the bottom chips were cold, my wifes burger inedible my mums steak pie was good though. we told the waitress who said she would tell her manager but the manager never came to speak to us and just played on a computer, we got our bill and left. Fairways used to be good and well priced but was expensive with terrible service we wont be back.

Very impressed , lovely place , great aesthetics, rooms, nice views, nice staff, some of the best (if not the best) battered haddock I’ve had and I’m from Peterhead (biggest white fishing port in Europe) Would definitely come back and recommend.

Had a great time out with work colleagues for dinner. I am gf so limited to what I can eat. I had the smothered chicken was very tasty. Good service tasty food.

This was my 1st visit to fairways but won't be last 🤗 everything was great from service to food myself & family enjoyed our experience here highly recommend.

As a family with kids, we find Fairways was always the top option for Sunday lunch/dinner. There was always something on the menu for everyone. We visit regularly - probably at least once a month. Up until recently we’ve had no problems. However, last month we visited and the staff were nowhere near as attentive. We had to ask for drinks 3 times, desserts took over 30 mins to arrive and the staff looked disinterested. We thought we’d try again in case it was an off day. So we went again to find there is no longer a small carvery on offer (something that 5 out of our group go for always without fail) - it’s now just standard £14.50 which isn’t worth it for small eaters or juniors. Also the heat was unbearable in the restaurant to the point that 3 of our group had to go to the loo to cool down. The music is so loud that we couldn’t hear each others conversation across the table. Waitresses were better on this visit. The tall lady with short dark hair (cannot remember her name) is a real asset to the restaurant. Hope to see small carvery back on the menu or it just isn’t worth a return visit for our group.

Loved this place!! Staff were really nice and attentive. Got in about 40 minutes before the kitchen opened for lunch and they were kind enough to allow us to sit at a table for that time and drink some coke while we waited for the kitchen to open. Definitely worth the wait!! Food was nice and fresh!

They were very busy but welcoming and the lovely young lady on the reception managed to fit us in. The burger was good but the buns were rock hard and dry. A big thanks to Lily who dealt with our feedback in a calm, professional manner. She is a credit to the company, many thanks, Alison Anderson

We had great food and plenty of it Very pleasant staff

Inside of restaurant was beyond warm. Asked to be seated outside which they agreed to. Neither our waitress or the server that brought us our water never said that we had to personally go inside to order a meal. Found out by going to a manager. Ordered meal, asked for a beer and desert delivered with dinner. Beer and desert didn’t arrive. Went in to request same. I was told that the beer was delivered to the wrong table outside. I asked why the runner didn’t come ask us, being the only other occupied table outside, if it was ours. Blank look. Also, I told the manager that I had specifically asked for the dessert to be delivered with dinner since we had waited so long. She looked at me and said “do you want to wait until after dinner to get the dessert?”. No initiative by employees, customer service lacking, food ok, dinner spoiled by abysmal interactions. Would not eat there again.

Ate here 4 times over the weekend. Two breakfasts, one pizza and a dinner. All excellent. Meals were well presented, well cooked and delicious. The staff were great and helpful.

We stayed at Travelodge near by had a great meal and few drinks staff were helpful a good night.

One of the best breakfasts in Inverness. This is a hidden gem.

We were in Fairways this weekend, a table of 6, we had booked in advance. The meal itself was pleasant enough however the service was terrible and the watering staff couldn’t seem to care less about customer satisfaction. All staff just seemed totally uninterested. No one checked back on us to ask how our meal was, or if we would like more drinks. At one point my family member went up to help themselves to sauces as we couldn’t get anyone’s attention. There should have been someone there taking control of the service as it was clear the waiting staff that were working were out of their depth. Training is needed for all staff. Very poor service and certainly would not recommend !

Sunday carvery.. DON'T GO!!!...meat ok but lamb well overcooked. Roast potatoes were cold, broccoli overcooked and cold.. cauliflower overcooked and cold and Yorkshire pudding Stone cold ask for it all to be reheated in microwave. Felt that customer service was extremely poor and weren't offered discount. The Manager stirred all the cold products around and put the lids back on over the food on the bain-marie...chef woman slicing meat took the lids back off...whole experience spoilt for a Sunday lunch out..NEVER AGAIN!

I have to agree with the others that the serving staff was a bit unattentive. The food we had was not bad but I asked for some Tabasco sauce and was shocked to see I was charged £3.00 for a tiny amount of the sauce. I don’t see anywhere on the menu page that says there is a charge for hot sauce. I personally believe this is ridiculous! Will never come back to this Restaurant!

Just popped in for tea and cake after a bucket of balls on the range. Welcoming staff, excellent service, clean and tidy restaurant. Good selection of cakes although they could do with refrigerating the chocolate slices. Cakes were fine although ginger cake a bit dry. Only complaint is the tea .....way too weak, pots too big for the size of the t-bags

Food and service is great, no complaints there.. but for whatever reason it's super loud in there which can make it difficult to hear others in big groups.

I am never one to leave reviews. However, my husband and I have been coming to fairways for over a year now regularly and can’t help noticed how downhill it seems to have gone in the recent month or so. So much so that I have been wondering if there has been a change or ownership or manager? Usually the young girls working there are so attentive yet now however all they do now is stand around and chat, totally ignoring customers waiting to be served. This being said there is one or two of the girls that have been there for a long time who are fantastic however we couldn’t help but notice a lot of new staff along with what appears to be a new manager, so maybe there is where this issue lies.l!! I think we will be looking for somewhere else to eat as it is just not what it used to be. Disappointed.

Disappointing. After reading the reviews my expectations were raised. The staff was scarce, busy and distracted. There only 3 tables occupied including us. We ordered the full Scottish breakfast. The hot meal turned up minus toast and preserve or juice it included. The meal itself was tasteless. I have never tasted anything so bland and boring. I had to ask the staff if the toast was self serve before she got some for us. The preserves didn’t turn up. Next had to call her again to ask for the juice. Maybe a bit more training to the staff on what is included in your menu and to serve it your customers would be helpful.

Best pizza in Inverness, wish it was my local. The chips and onion rings are fab.

I don't usually leave reviews but decided to for here. Arrived and were ignored straight away by the manager who was looking at a laptop and didn't put his eyes up to look at or acknowledge us. The girl behind the bar then noticed and...

Came here on recommendation and it was good enough. Two of our party wanted the beef olives but they had just run out!, but they managed to choose something else to their liking. All okay and no complaints.

First and only visit so far. Great help getting set up on the driving range. I will definitely be coming back!!

Food was excellent as usual felt it had gone up a notch Service was first class everyone was very attentive couldnt do enough for usl.Fantastic experience highly recommended.

Just returned from Fairways restaurant and I have to say disappointed. We started with soup (pea & ham also Lentil) One was full of flavour the other was not, the bread was dry. Main course 8oz Steak (£5 in Tesco) and smoked haddock chowder (small...

The Family Restaurant inside the club is amazing. The food was delicious and the desserts even more so. Wide selection at the bar, highly recommended.

Went for lunch with the wife and ordered the soup and sandwich!! Ordered the chicken Mayo melt on brown bread was disgusting Had zero taste and flavour! felt like cheap processed chicken could not taste any cheese !! After getting this sandwich har to go...

We visited this restaurant for dinner tonight and had a fantastic experience. The restaurant was busy, we hadn't reserved a table and entered through the back door. We were greeted by a waitress, Kate, who was very friendly and found us a table. All of...

I've just been in for what I thought was meant to be a 2 breakfasts and 2 breakfast rolls. I was told over the phone it was a buffet breakfast and to get what I wanted when I went over to collect, and they would make the breakfast roll fresh, which was fine. When I went over for it we were told we were to early for the rolls and to help our self to the breakfast, only food they had out was link sausage and old eggs, scraps of bacon and a heap of empty trays. I sat for 10 minutes and waited for more food to come out, but it never did. I paid full price for not even half a breakfast. I got 2 sausage and 2 tattie scone squash of beans, and even then, it was scrapping the barrel of breakfast food. Normally, the breakfast it quite good, but today. Food was shocking. Definitely won't be back.

Such a beast of a roast! Great that they do a carvery till late in the day unlike other restaurants! The decor is absolutely amazing as well and the staff were super nice!

Great food...friendly and polite staff. Reasonably price for the quality of food. Would recommendations the Sunday carvery.

Food is very good and staff are very nice

Very disappointed with our experience today. We have been in fairways many times but today we were seated next to a table of 4 who were clearly drunk.(2pm) the first time one of the men got up to go and smoke he was so drunk...

Excellent food with really good portions and the service was top notch too

Enjoyed Sunday lunch today I had the steak and ale pie which was delicious. The carvery looked good with a choice of 3 meats with very generous servings. Loads of deserts to choose. It was busy but staff very attentive and we didn't have to wait long.

Not as good as last time i was there. Chips looked bad and didn't taste good no dessert menu had to go up and look at the counter to see selection. Maybe just a bad day I'll give it another try soon.

High-quality modern driving range.

Forgot to take pics! But I had steak and ale pie.. delicious! My mum had roast of the day (beef), which she loved, then we shared banoffee pie. Lovely food and great service. Good for parking. Will definitely be back 😊

Pleasant enough, expensive food places nearby though although good food

Great facilities and excellent staff.

Wonderful lunch at Fairways today. Great food and great staff in a lovely venue.

Excellent venue! We booked the bunker room for a private function. The room was immaculate and a great set up. The staff on the night were very friendly and professional. We ordered a buffet…and it was fantastic! The vegan options were absolutely delicious!

Visited on 15th for Sunday Carvery. What a feed we had great choice of meat and veg and then a huge selection of puddings just to ensure I didn't need to eat again that day..

Visited this place for Breakfast with a friend on their recommendation. It was excellent. Choice of food for breakfast was extensive. We both had the traditional. Everything was cooked perfectly.

Enjoyed a family meal here. Great staff, great food, great location.

Nice venue with welcoming wait staff, well set and clean dining area. Food was delivered quickly and well cooked. Negatives: View looks out under rusty iron stairs. Only one alcohol free drink option (Magners). Overall pleasant experience, would reccomend.

Always a good meal and friendly atmosphere.

Great function room upstairs, had a great party

Great place to practice with the grandchildren
