1 Night, 2 Rounds
You're just outside Towcester in rural Northamptonshire, about half an hour from Northampton and Milton Keynes. Whittlebury Park is handy for the M1 and M40 too, which is a small win when you're trying to get eight lads, four tee times and a boot full of clubs to the same place without drama.
The resort itself is built around a classical Georgian manor set in 700 acres of historic parkland. You get 36 holes of championship golf split into four distinct nine-hole loops, meaning you can mix and match your rounds and play different combinations each day. That variety is genuinely useful if you're staying for more than one night and want to keep things fresh, particularly for groups where half the party wants a sterner test and the other half prefers a slightly friendlier combination.
Off the course, there's a large spa with heat-and-ice experiences, a modern leisure club, and a range of dining options that go well beyond the usual clubhouse fare. The setting is peaceful, the facilities are genuinely four-star, and the whole place is geared towards both golf breaks and longer stays where the multiple loops, spa and dining variety make repeat days worthwhile.
Who is this for?
Golfers who want a proper UK resort break with loads of golf on-site, plus a spa and pool good enough to keep non-golfers smiling. It works well for societies, couples and groups who want variety in their golf without having to drive between courses.
Who is it best for?
Groups and societies staying two or three nights. The four nine-hole loops let you mix up your 18s, so repeat rounds don't feel like repeats. Mid-to-low handicappers who enjoy testing their game across different layouts will get the most out of it, as will anyone organising a trip where half the party wants serious golf and the other half wants spa time, a pool and decent food.

Whittlebury Park Golf Club offers 36 holes of fantastic championship golf made up of four sets of 9 holes, guests are welcome to play different combinations to make up 18 holes or simply enjoy a quick round of 9 holes. The golf club has a rich history as at one point it formed part of the Royal Whittlewood Forest, which is home to red deer and was once a Royal Hunting Forest.
The Royal Whittlewood course is cleverly integrated into the natural landscape and plays around the remaining parts of the ancient Royal Whittlewood Forest. The area has an abundance of flora and fauna, which made the forest a favourite hunting ground of Medieval Kings.

All rooms are decorated in an elegant, understated style with the kind of modern amenities you'd expect from a four-star resort: internet access, plasma TV with Freeview, hospitality tray and en-suite bathroom. The standard rooms are comfortable and well-appointed, but if you're after more space, the suites come with a separate lounge and dining area, plus bathrooms fitted with Jacuzzi spa baths, double showers and designer toiletries from Elemis or Molton Brown.
The dining options here are varied enough to keep things interesting over a few nights. Murrays is the fine-dining option, holding two AA Rosettes and serving modern takes on classic British dishes. It's the kind of place you'd book for a proper sit-down meal after a good round. Before or after, you can have a drink in the Silverstone Bar, which is lined with motor racing memorabilia, a nod to the nearby circuit.
For something more relaxed, Bentley's offers Mediterranean-inspired dishes, while Aston's blends classic and contemporary cuisine in a less formal setting. If you're spending time by the pool, the Terrace Bar serves light snacks and healthier options throughout the day, so you don't have to leave the leisure area to grab lunch.
All guests get complimentary access to the leisure facilities, which include an indoor pool, sauna, steam room, whirlpool spa and a well-equipped Cybex gym. It's a solid set-up if you want to loosen up before a round or recover afterwards, and it's one of the reasons Whittlebury Park works so well for mixed groups where not everyone is playing 36 holes a day.
The spa itself is a step up from the usual hotel offering. It's built around a series of heat-and-ice experiences, taking your body through sudden temperature changes designed to invigorate and reset you. You'll find aromatherapy crystal steam rooms, an ice cave and a range of soothing therapies and ancient bathing rituals. If you're the type who likes to combine golf with proper relaxation, or if you're travelling with non-golfers who want something to do while you're out on the course, the spa is a genuine draw rather than just a box-ticking facility.

Hotel is a big place. Nice pool and spa area. Buffet brekkie was top notch, dinner was ok but a bit limited and scheduling didn't suit us after an afternoon round. Staff were great.

The accommodation was not very easy to manuevre around. I had asked for wheelchair accessibility and although I could get through the door getting around the room and into the bathroom was not possible. Luckily I could get out of the wheelchair and move around with the help of my husband. The wheelchair could not get through the bathroom door. That said if I didn't have the wheelchair the room would have been sufficient. The restaurants, bars and other facilities were very nice. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Dinner and breakfast were fantastic

New course always difficult first time. Greens OK, fairways not watered so grass covering not the best, but spoilt on home course!
Toby

There are essentially 3 nines here; Blue Red and Yellow. We didn't get a choice of which we played but being our first time we didn't mind that as we had two rounds to try all 3 (Blue and Yellow & Red and Yellow). The Red was the best nine. All 3 nines were in good nick although the greens could have done with a bit of watering. A nice course that we'd certainly go back to.

The golf club was a good place for food and drinks. The course was in good condition and it was a very pleasant day out.
Richard
✓23 May 2026
We played three combinations of the nine hole courses and all three were in good condition. Two of the courses are quite difficult with blind tee shots and water hazards. They are a good challenge for the average golfer, but very enjoyable to play.
Trevor

Very enjoyable course to play, would definitely come again.

3 very enjoyable loops of 9 holes. Tees, greens and fairways all well kept and a good test for all abilities of golfers. The driving range was a bit tired and the pro shop didn’t have much stock but other than that couldn’t fault it 👍🏻
Mark

The 3 loops of 9 all had subtle differences. The caddie master team were helpful, advised on longest drive and nearest the pin holes. Playing 2 of the 3 loops allowed us to have varied golf each day, with some water, long oar fours, tricky short par 3s and lots in between. Undulating ground, beautiful oak trees acting as natural hazards all added to the enjoyment. Only the bunkers were below par, very hard on day one and lacking sand, although they improved after being raked. Best advice, stay out if them!
Shaun

Really enjoyable experience. Very interesting layout and all three 9's different in there own way. Challenging but not too difficult to make the golf unenjoyable. Some great Par 3's. We had great weather and the speed of the rounds were very good. Club house food good and reasonably priced. Would return even for just a days golf. Live just over an hour away.

It was evident that greens were still being prepped for the main season (+ dry conditions?). The layouts & presentation of the course was excellent. Some issues with access to locker room. Golf bar staff were great!
Simon
✓29 Apr 2026
Being able to mix and match the 3 different nines over the 3 days was a great experience. Greens were a bit bumpy and slow on the first day but much better for the next two days. Some interesting holes for all levels of golfer. Driving range could be better.
