Originally a 9 hole course built to entertain the ladies of Hawkstone Hall whilst Sir William Gray was away on business. Converted into a full 18 hole course in 1920 and masterfully redesigned by James Braid in 1930. Having a military use during the second world war required the course to be restored by Alex Lyle to all its former glory, after he joined the club as the resident Professional and Head Green-keeper in 1955. An 18 hole, par 72 parkland course measuring 6,497 yards from the back tees which is sure to provide an exciting round of golf.

Championship golf course is the more recent addition to the resort having been originally designed by Alex Lyle in 1975 as a concise and compact par 66 course named the Weston. This course was redesigned by previous Ryder Cup captain Brian Huggett in 1955 as the Windmill course after the iconic remnant which is still visible from the 16th hole. Now a much more open golf course with many water hazards and undulating fairways which has subsequently been renamed the Championship course. An 18 hole, par 72 parkland course measuring 6,763 yards which is able to provide a good test of golf to players of all abilities.
