Owston Hall hotel is located within the picturesque grounds of a 147-acre estate in Doncaster, South Yorkshire and is situated in between two major motorway networks being the A1 and M62 which makes this hotel very accessible.
The hotel itself boasts 30 bedrooms and a fine array of food & drink options in the bar & restaurant or guests can go al fresco on the terrace whilst overlooking the drama of the closing hole.
The original 9 holes at Owston Hall were first established in 1922, but the journey was completed with the development of the second loop in the late 1990s. The resultant championship course has been well-received has hosted several PGA tournaments, and is revered as one of the region’s most outstanding layouts. The course, set in the historic parkland of Owston Estate, meanders through rare species of trees non-native to these isles.

Robin Hood Golf Course
Close to 6,000 yards at is fullest length, Owston Hall is a stern test of golf, encountering mature oak trees and treacherous water hazards. The tenth hole is the star of the course, where golfers must only travel 351 yards, but must negotiate two strategically positioned lakes.
Over the years, significant changes have been made to the golf course to offer something for everyone. A Black tee option has been added meaning golfers can take on the really long golf course, or the much shorter yardage. No matter what level of golfer you are, there is something for you at Owston Hall.
Owston Hall is a terrific example of ‘risk/reward' golf and is characteristic of the enjoyable challenges at this South Yorkshire classic.

Accommodation at Owston Hall Hotel
Owston Hall's 4* complex features 30 luxurious en-suite guest rooms, all specifically designed for an extremely comfortable stay. The 15 bedrooms incorporated in the old wing have been decorated individually, and reflect the character of the 17th century construction itself.
The remaining bedrooms are located in the Old Stables part of the hotel, which may not have quite the intrigue of the old wing, but is equally as comfortable. Excellent service is guaranteed at Owston Hall, confirming it as a good choice for a golf break in the north-east.
The Victorian style conservatory restaurant serves superb modern dishes, and offers great views over the surrounding golf course.
The hotel spa & gym are both currently closed for renovation, and will hopefully reopen later this year.

8 / 10
Excellent rooms , comfy with plenty of room in them. Friendly staff and excellent food
6 / 10
The only reason for low scores is because we were looking forward to a swim and jacuzzi after 4 hours of golf in very hot sun.
We then found out the Spa is closed and won't be opening again until late 2024! This was not mentioned at point of booking, I paid for a golf break with a Spa, but only got golf.
Can't fault the hotel or staff but in the future please research the facility for what is actually open.

Great hotel, nice decor, fantastic staff and great value for money. The £30 for evening meal was more than ample and most of the party struggled to spend it.
8 / 10
The accommodation was very good, clean and spacious with tea and coffee in the rooms. Buffett breakfast was excellent. The hot Buffett in the evening was good but not supervised, our party of 32 shared the restaurant with another group of about 16 which was not a problem, BUT no one took control of the food serving leaving some at the rear with no choice or no food. They had to wait for more to be made. The bar was fine and the prices fair. They are new owners of only a few months and they did ask and received feedback and were gratefull,but a lot of work is required especially on the course!!!!!.

The room was fine but there was no SkyTV in the bar.The big disappointment was that the spa/gym have not yet reopened,despite them looking so appealing on the website.Thought a rebate would be in order for this.

After reading several reviews on trip advisor was pleasantly surprised how much we enjoyed Owston Hall.Golf food staff room all good. Excellent mid week break for couples due to it being quiet would go again.
6 / 10
Hotel was really nice, unfortunately the spa facilities were all closed. After a round of golf this was very disappointing.
The bar closed at 11pm, again disappointing as the night was just starting & the facilities were closing. The lights in the snooker room didn't work, one cue, no black ball & the TV was broken.
The detail is what makes the trip memorable
6 / 10
The rooms were comfy. Did not like the paper cups for tea and coffee. The evening meal main course was very basic and the choice limited
10 / 10
Food, and the many choices of lager available,made our two night three rounds of golf break so enjoyable,that we will book again next year. ALL the Staff worked as a team,so the gold medal goes to......EVERYONE
4 / 10
Decor is very dated, carpets are loose and have lumps underneath. Trouser press didn't work, windows didn't open.
Door on arrival was hard to open and when we left the room it was hard to lock. The door itself looked like a hammer and chisel had been used on it. Overall not good.

The staff were not helpful and didn’t make us feel welcome, anything we needed seemed a hardship for them. The food was average at best, the golf course was in a poor state of repair, bins full of rubbish etc. We definitely agreed we Wouldn’t go back to Owston, disappointing.

The pool, and gym and spa have been closed since 2020 and are not yet due to open. We should have been informed of this before booking. As the weather forecast was variable, we might have chosen a different location. The staff were friendly and efficient, with one exception, and the food was very good. We spoke to other visitors who have been before and came back because of the quality of the food.
The room had a king size bed and was large enough to still feel spacious.
The 18-hole golf course is interesting with tricky rather than long holes. The course is generally in good condition although the greens may have suffered from the variable weather. Also, the bunkers need much more sand.
The hotel overall is in a good location, with good surroundings, but the decor is a bit "tired". I suspect many hotels have suffered owing to Covid restrictions and closures.

Accommodation was superb however we were never informed about having to pay £50 deposit for every room.

The hall itself was great. The bar was roomy and the restaurant and food was very good. Unfortunately due to covid we couldn't use the snooker table or the pool facilities which was a shame. The rooms were clean and beds very comfortable.

Very nice accommodation. We'll decorated rooms with just a few shortcomings for ladies.e.g no mirror over desk or in bathroom illuminated.
Still great value and staff accommodating.
Good food choices and nicely presented.

Really enjoyed this night away it was clean, relaxing and comfortable

Saw some less than favourable reviews — but some times these reviews say more about the complainer and you really have to go and make up your own mind. We were very pleasantly surprised. Obviously it’s an older building so is not swish or cool. Just very comfortable. All staff were friendly and the meals were excellent. Best value for money we’ve had for ages.
