Golf Courses at Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort

Calverly Course

As you would expect, Thomas's layout takes in the natural undulations of the land, but he has used the inherent features of the landscape to create hazards. The greens are very subtle, a feature of the designer's ability to create a good challenge, whilst retaining the course's playability for golfers of all standards.

Dave Thomas has created many great parkland courses in the UK with The Belfry's Brabazon Course being the most notable one. Expect plenty of undulations and an emphasis on course management to play to your handicap on The Calverly Course at Oulton Hall.

Hall Course

Adding to Oulton's golfing repertoire is the 9-hole Hall course, which may not be long, but it will be an enjoyable experience for all those who visit on a golf break.

The investment programme has encompassed the clubhouse, which is now a superb two-storey facility with a restaurant and excellent corporate banqueting capabilities.

Popular with beginners and experienced golfers alike, this is well-recommended as a warm up or extension of your round at Oulton Hall.

Accommodation at Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort

Oulton Hall is the only 5* golf resort in the north of England, and is currently benefitting from a £7.5 million investment programme. This will only serve to confirm the quality on offer at Oulton Hall, whose Grade II listed mansion is a truly stunning construction.

It has been sympathetically converted to boast 152 guest rooms, including 12 deluxe, and 7 suites. The building itself may be traditional, but the fittings and furnishings of the bedrooms are contemporary, ensuring that visitors receive the best of both worlds.

The surrounding gardens are expertly trimmed and manicured, testament to the attention to detail that allows Oulton Hall to stand apart as a destination for a golf break in the north.

Food & Drink

The excellent Brontë Restaurant has been recognised with an AA Rosette, and serves superb French and English cuisine.

The Blayds Restaurant offers diners something a little more informal throughout the day.

Leisure Facilities

The newly refurbished leisure complex features a sublime swimming pool, a steam room, sauna, gymnasium and aerobics studio. For something a little more sedate, there are a number of health and beauty treatments on offer.

Angus The hotel and service throughout were fabulous. Staff could not be more helpful however the food could be improved with a little more attention especially the breakfast service area. The golf course was poor in relation to other golf clubs we saw or played in the area. We would stay at the hotel again but we would not recommend the golf course which was unkept. The tees were in a poor condition and there was a clear lack of definition between the fairways and the rough. As for the bunkers they had not been raked at all and we only noticed a few racks throughout the course for the golfers to use. Fr opinion golfers who play at there own club and who are not occasional golfers we feel would also not recommend this course. Whereas the Sandmoor Course was 5 star rating and a pleasure to play. We even spoke to the club secretary asking him to pass on our appreciation for such an excellently presented course. We would recommend Sandmoor to all our members at our club. The only other feed back would be to say the cost of the buggies at Oulton Hall was excessive at £44.50 whereas the buggies at Sandmoor were £30. For retired golfers this is a significant increase which in future we will establish before we book anymore trips away. As for the service of Golf Travel we are delighted with the arrangement and communication throughout We have settled our bills with Oulton Hall but we must say we feel short changed due to the poor standard of golf course which we were looking so much to play Thankyou for the opportunity to provide you with a review. We would ask you pass on our comments to the hotel and hope they address the standard of the golf course Kind regards Philip Enstone

Order buggies for the Sunday , Due to the wind conditions on the Sunday, weather No buggies in use. On the Monday evening someone on a motorcycle/ electric scooter had ridden over the 18th green on the Cavaliery course, number of times, the green staff out fixing the hole. It spoil the end of the round with all the sand on it. I would recommend Oulton Hall and the golf course. The food was ok, we had a set price £32 for evening meal, anything over you would pay the difference . The venue was full of golf parties. I would have been nice to have a drinks discount of 20% + the same other golf venues. My friends and I made a comment that the golf bar opposite the pro shop is only opened at the weekends. So to get a drink you have to go to the main hotel bar. Instead of sitting in the golf bar , having a drink watching other golfers come in.

I had a great stay at the hotel. The reception staff were very helpful and quickly answered any queries we had about parking etc. The room was functional and clean and value for money. The restaurant was great and the food very good. The champagne bar was good with a wide range of drinks which were slightly on the expensive side. The bar staff were very polite and helpful if not just a tad inexperienced. The venue is grand and sits in impressive grounds. We had a very enjoyable stay as a small party of 3 even when there were much larger groups and events occurring.

It's a beautiful hotel. Reception area very smart, fantastic lounges with very comfortable sofas and armchairs, the dining room was lovely and there was a really nice fragrance throughout the reception and lounge areas. However, once up in our room things change. Tbe room in general needed a redec, it looked very tired and appeared very dark. This was because the bottom half of the window was in a ridged non see through glass, which meant we could only see the top if a tree and very little sky. Upon climbing on a chair to see what view we had, I understood why. Down below our window was the extensive bin area. Nit a pretty site. We decided not to complain because you don't spend so much time in your room. However, our room also gad an adjoining room door to the next room. The guests tge other side were very loud getting ready to go down to dinner, but hey ho, we all like to gave fun but when that fun, laughter and noise extends to 12.30am and then again at 3.30 am, it becomes a nuisance. To top all this off, at 6am the bin area was a hive of activity, with bins being emptied, talking etc. Luckily the room guests were either gone the next morning or were a lot quieter. On our last morning, we went down to breakfast and on returning to our room, there was the mist disgusting stench of sewage in our room and once again, noise coming from the bin area. On climbing on the chair again, there was a lorry either emptying the septic tank or unblocking drains. I literally wanted felt sick. I loved everything about the hotel and would return but definitely not in any of the numerous rooms that look over this disgusting area. We often go away with other golfing couples and I would recommend Oulton to them but only if we were away from the rooms overlooking the bin area.

The hotel was perfect got our golf break but we encountered a couple of minor issues. On day 2 of our visit everyone was locked out of their rooms during a very short window between rounds; thus causing a little bit of disruption in preparing for the afternoon session. Additionally on our second night several of our rooms had no running cold water - this was fixed overnight.

The hotel was very good but we had an issue with out overnight package including the “ 3 course meal”. We were booked into the main restaurant so when got there we were told we had £28 spend each off the main menu. When I asked about the 3 course meal we were told that was only in the Claret Jug in the golf club bar. The cheapest meal in the main restaurant was above £28. I was then told to try the Claret Jug. We walked over but we’re told as we were a party of 2 we couldn’t have the deal. It was for parties of 4 or more. This was very frustrating and annoying. The staff were very nice but this didn’t help us feel like we shouldn’t be there. We were allowed to use our £28 on the bar menu so we managed a main meal within the price. Not very good service.

Hotel was good, food in Claret Jug bar was nice but limited in choice and portions sizes not good for hungry golfers. Buffet breakfast was ok. We were very disappointed that our group of 24 golfers were shuffled into any available room to get us out of the way so that the hotel staff could focus all of their efforts and attention on a group of several dozen ‘gay pride’ vintage car enthusiasts. We were not even allowed in the hotel Champagne Bar because these enthusiasts had it occupied. We are as important as they are. After being ousted from the breakfast room into a separate conference room for breakfast some members of staff thought they were not allowed to serve us? It was them who put us there!!! The bar service at the Claret Jug was very slow and for some reason we had to stand and wait for 10 minutes whilst they cashed the till up, in mid afternoon. The male members of bar staff were very rude however the females were very hard working and generally pleasant.

The main bar and restaurant areas are very nice, as are the gardens. The evening meal was very disappointing. You get an allowance of £28 towards your meal, which will barely cover the main course. We asked for bread to go with the soup, and was presented with a slab of 12 slices on a plate. The side plates were roughly left on the table next to one of the party, and expected to pass round. Very poor service, and the food itself was poor given the high prices charged (£28 for a steak with chips charged extra). Rooms could do with updating - the light switches had the brass peeling off them for example. Spa and swimming pool areas are nice.

We then had to negotiate with the restaurant manager for us to eat in the hall? Service in the restaurant and bar was very slow? The only consolation was the spa, nice way to relax after a hard round of golf. We won’t be arranging another golf weekend at this location very disappointed.

When we checked in not all of the rooms were ready and some were overlooking the bins and were a bit noisy. We had a few issues with new staff not knowing how to do the £10 drinks vouchers. The rooms were very good where they were not overlooking bins. We ate in the Claret Jug, and had to wait over an hour for our food. There were a lot of new staff who did not seem to know what they were doing. Some entertainment or music would have been nice.

great. have been before but restaurant sadly lacking / first night I ordered a meal and was told 45mins later it was not available. 2 bowls of watery soup late - that was my meal with a pudding - not acceptable. Husbands steak was inedible so sent back - another was same - so both had starter and pudding.

Lovely old building with very comfortable and good sized rooms. Very nice toiletries provided in the bathroom. The food was very good - the choice at breakfast was as good as it gets. We were on DBB rate and were given £28 each food allowance for dinner. This was fine as we only wanted two courses but would not have covered three. The only slightly disappointing thing was that the dinner menu was quite limited in choice. Overall a very enjoyable stay and I am sure we will be back.

The overall experience in the dining room was chaotic due to young staff that had no guidance due to lack of managers on duty. On the first night we were booked in for a 9pm dinner. Our order was taken 45minutes later which in turn was not commissioned by the kitchen. We finished our meal at 11.30pm!!! Probably the worse thing that could have happened on a blistering hot weekend was the fact that there was no draught beer from Sunday with no delivery due until Wednesday. The hotel itself was beautiful inside and out but was totally let down by staff leadership.

The hotel is beautiful and has everything you need. Unfortunately it is badly understaffed with 1 girl serving at the bar (who was brilliant) meaning you had to queue for 20 mins+to get served.this was the same for breakfast with no real structure. There were plenty of tables empty but not enough staff to prepare them hence long queues waiting to be seated. The rooms are comfortable and clean.

Nice but room felt tired. Little or no staff around and due to kettle not working , and no one answering the phones, had to make a trip to reception to sort the problem out. Dining room was run like a circus, no organisation at all and waiting times for evening meal were long. Queues for breakfast even longer. Aware numerous staff had resigned leaving the hotel under pressure but why. A friends son getting married at Oulton next year - hope they sort out the problems they have. Golf great, really friendly and obliging staff. Made the weekend as a little disappointed with the running of the hotel

The hotel could do with a few things really. Or if the rooms had room service trays outside it for nearly a day, the cleaners for the rooms didn’t even take them away. For teas and coffees in the morning we had to use plastic cups which is obviously dangerous. Other than those 2 little things it was great

Lovely Hotel. Lounges, bar area and dining lovely rooms but they could have been slightly warmer.

Probably okay in warmer weather. Dining menu very good and food excellant as were the staff. Rooms good with lovely beds.

We experienced many disappointments during our visit Having phoned ahead to arrange certain things (eg. Coffee & cobs on arrival) we found that this request had not been passed on. We were finally able to access these once we had made someone aware of the situation. However, these were extremely expensive. The clubhouse was not operating when we arrived or even on the Monday afternoon when we left. One or two staff were very helpful but, overall, we experienced a distinct lack of service. After not being able to access a drink at the clubhouse before departure, we adjourned to the hotel to experience an unacceptable wait for service. We left after half an hour without being served. The rooms were comfortable. The evening meal was acceptable if not fully catering for the dietary needs of our party. However, the restaurant staff were the most helpful staff that we encountered & they made good efforts to cater for us. Overall, I would have expected much better service & amenities from a venue that is set up to cater for society groups.

When we booked in we were told there was a £10 surcharge for eating in the hotel restaurant rather than in the club house for our evening meal. The staff told us this was a condition in the small print. However when I retrieved the email no mention of this could I find. Whereas eating in the clubhouse is fine for a group of men etc , we were a group of 4 mixed couples . We managed to get it rescindedbut thought you should know for future reference . We discussed this as a group and decided this condition might prevent us booking oulton hall again as a future venue. However we enjoyed it this time.

The Hotel facilities and rooms are top quality - but each time I have been (this was the third time) little things seem to go wrong. This time it was double bed configurations in our three twin rooms and our booking for 20:30 for dinner didn’t seem to have been auctioned. Both of these were on our booking confirmation and acknowledged by the reception staff as being booked.
