The Telford Hotel
The Telford Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort, Shropshire
If you’re an Ian ‘Woosie’ Woosnam fan you might want to start looking at tee times at The Telford. The Welsh pro picked up his first tournament win here back in 1979. Some of the golf club’s loyal members have been around even longer, all the way back to 1976 and it’s easy to see why.
The 18-hole Championship-standard course overlooks the iconic Ironbridge Gorge, the UNESCO World Heritage Site dubbed ‘the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution’. Forget chimneys and warehouses though, the backdrop to your game is much easier on the eye with the course overlooking scenic Severn Valley.
If you’re newer to the game and don’t know your Woosie from your 9 wood, The Telford can cater to you too. With three course lengths to choose from, a fun round is in easy reach for novices and stretches the skills of more seasoned golfers.
Belton Woods Hotel
Belton Woods Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort, Lincolnshire
How does 36-holes, 13,000 yards of fairways and two completely different playing experiences sound? If it’s your idea of the perfect golf getaway, it could be time you booked a break in Lincolnshire.
Choose from The Lakes, a course sprinkled with the most scenic of water hazards or The Woods, loved for its narrow tree-lined holes. Either way, you’re guaranteed a game with a view.
Not only is Belton Woods one of the best golf resorts in the East Midlands, it’s also home to Ian Poulton. The PGA Teaching Professional is on hand to help you hone your skills and chip away at your handicap.
Slaley Hall Hotel
Slaley Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort, Northumberland
How would you like to tee off at a resort nominated England’s best golf hotel? Slaley Hall offers not one but two award-winning courses that have hosted a wide range of Championship tournaments including the Euro Pro Tour.
If you’re looking to put your skills to the ultimate test, try the Hunting Course. The ‘Augusta of the North’ has its own Amen Corner that can make or break your game for a rollercoaster ride of a day. Alternatively, if sweeping views sounds more like your thing, you might want to try the Priestman Course first. The tee box overlooks the Tyne Valley all the way to Scotland on a clear day.
With a putting green, driving range, chipping green and bunker practice area, there’s no shortage of space to work on the parts of your game that need some extra attention.
Forest Pines Hotel
Forest Pines Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort, Lincolnshire
Lincolnshire features a second time on our list and with good reason. Set in 190 acres of beautiful woodland, Forest Pines is a 27-hole complex split across three loops of nine holes for your mix and match playing pleasure.
Voted the Best Golf Course in the East of England by Today’s Golfer Magazine, the standards here are kept incredibly high. It’s not just the well-manicured greens that leave an impression, but the muntjac deer who stray onto the fairways to add a touch of magic.
Competitions that have been held here include the R&A Boys Home Internationals, British Blind Open and the PGA Fourball Championship. Don’t worry if you’re not up to the tournament test, with a driving range and putting green at the club you can practice the skills you need until you are.
Oulton Hall Hotel
Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort, Yorkshire
When 18 holes aren’t enough, try 27 instead, at the beautifully presented Oulton Hall Hotel.
Split into two courses, this golfing great is a short drive from Leeds and will leave you convinced you really are playing in God’s own country. The Calverley Course’s strategically placed bunkers will push your game to its most careful and considered limits, while The Hall Course’s 9 holes are the perfect antidote if you’re craving more action.
With a pro shop, putting green and professionals on hand to offer expert tuition, you’ve got everything you need for the complete golf getaway, not forgetting a well-stocked bar mounted above the signature 18th hole.
DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Westerwood
Glasgow Westerwood Spa & Golf Resort, North Lanarkshire
Designed by the highly respected Seve Ballesteros and Dave Thomas, Westerwood truly is a treat for course connoisseurs.
The Welsh and Spanish duo took pride in crafting courses that respect their surroundings and that’s clear to see at the famous 15th. Known as the Waterfall Hole, players face a dramatic 60-foot rock face as they take on a memorable par 3 overlooking the Kilsyth and Campsie Hills.
When you’ve finished taking on devilish bunkers and tricky water hazards, the Grill Restaurant is the perfect spot to dissect the day while overlooking the course.
Dunston Hall Hotel
Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort, Norfolk
A rewarding challenge no matter what your skill level. The 18 holes at Dunston Hall cover more than 6,000 yards of well-groomed fairways with long and short areas to cater for all ages and abilities.
Tee off in the picturesque surroundings of a Victorian estate with all the modern trimmings. From a golf shop selling the latest essentials, to a state-of-the-art driving range with TrackMan technology, this quiet corner of Norfolk strikes the perfect balance between old and new for the complete golfing experience.
Keep an eye out for the 16th, the course’s signature hole which is guaranteed to put your strategy and skills to the test.

Not just any TrackMan driving range, the bays at Oulton Hall include a VIP suite that can be booked for a one-of-a-kind experience for up to 12 adults or children. Enjoy 120 minutes of unlimited balls, a foosball table and arcade machine for your private playing pleasure.

Bays at the Grantham hotel take the driving range experience to the next level. Book when you’ve had your fill of The Lakes and The Woods, or when the weather isn’t up to par.
Our golf courses aren’t just for hotel guests on a trip. We’ve got plenty of locations where members have been coming back to us for decades.
Brilliant golfing break at Belton Woods. Hotel, rooms, food, spa and golf course all excellent standard.
Really excellent resort. The golf course was in excellent condition and most enjoyable... Happily recommend this resort for a golf break.
Just had a brill 2 days at Oulton Hall on golf package, the course was very good, greens were excellent... 2nd time I've done a golf package at this hotel so roll on next year to return.
Overnight stay with 2 rounds of golf... The tricky (tight) but fair golf course was in exceptional condition. Great value as well!
