Tucked into the heart of the Warwickshire countryside with Draycote Water as its backdrop, the Draycote Hotel sits in one of those rare spots where you get proper peace and quiet without sacrificing accessibility. Most of the UK can reach it comfortably, which matters when you're organising a society trip or weekend away and half the group is coming from different corners of the country.
Whitefields Golf Course is the main draw here, a championship parkland layout that uses the natural contours and mature trees to create a test that works for mid-handicappers and single-figure players alike. It's not overly long by modern standards, but the design rewards course management over brute force. The routing flows well, the conditioning is consistent, and you'll find yourself thinking about club selection more than you might expect on a parkland course.
The hotel itself strikes a good balance between contemporary comfort and that relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere you want after 36 holes. It's well set up for golfers, with 49 en-suite rooms that are genuinely spacious, plus all the practical touches like satellite TV and reliable Wi-Fi. The Three Cooks restaurant is worth mentioning because it actually does something interesting, blending English, European and Asian influences in a way that reflects the chefs' backgrounds rather than just ticking boxes on a menu.
Who is this for?
Golfers or groups looking for a straightforward, quality parkland break in the Midlands, with easy access from most UK regions and a hotel that handles the basics very well.
Who is it best for?
Societies, small groups and couples who want a relaxed base with solid golf on the doorstep, plus anyone organising a weekend away where half the appeal is switching off without disappearing to the middle of nowhere.

One of the main benefits at Whitefields is the excellent natural drainage, which ensures that the course can remain open throughout the year, and also that the putting surfaces will roll true. The main focal point is the Draycote Water reservoir, part of the neighbouring Country Park.
The 13th, 15th and 16th holes are the favourites of many visitors. The 13thi s is a challenging par 4 which curves around Draycote Water. The 16th contains an island green on a downhill par 3. The 15th, named ‘Temptation, where you can try to drive the green or lay up. There are many interesting and memorable holes. Whitefields also boasts an 15-bay driving range, with all bays fully equipped with Toptracer for good practice and a lot of fun. There are also excellent facilities for practising your short game and putting.

The Draycote Hotel has been designed with light, open spaces and a contemporary feel that stops short of feeling clinical or corporate. The 49 en-suite guest rooms are genuinely spacious, not the sort where you're shuffling sideways past the bed, and they come with the amenities that matter: satellite television, Wi-Fi and enough room to spread out after a day on the course. Rooms are well appointed and designed for comfort rather than show, with en-suite bathrooms that are modern and functional. The overall feel is relaxed and contemporary without tipping into bland or overly minimalist.
Service is attentive without being overbearing, the sort where staff know what golfers need, whether that's an early breakfast or just being left alone with a pint after 36 holes. The Three Cooks restaurant is the standout dining option, an innovative concept that celebrates the English, European and Asian heritage of the chefs. The food is thoughtful, well executed and varied enough to keep a group happy over multiple nights.
The hotel bar and Fairways Bar both carry Sky and BT Sport on large flat-screen televisions, so you're covered for any tournament coverage, match action or just background sport while you're working through the day's round. There's also a permanent giant screen outside the bar that extends to the driving range, complete with its own bar and menu service. Food and drinks can be delivered to you on the range, which is a genuinely useful touch if you're the sort who likes to hit balls while keeping an eye on the golf.
It's a hotel that understands what golfers want: a comfortable base, good food, a decent bar and the sort of atmosphere where you can turn up in your golf gear without feeling out of place. The attentive service and superb facilities at the Draycote make it an excellent choice for your golf break in the West Midlands.

The hotel was of a decent quality although the room furniture was a bit dated. The showers were not the best and this let the place down. The staff were great as was the food and I know everyone enjoyed their stay!

Room was ok but needed some tlc . Shower was very feeble. Room was an interconnected one. It was fortunate that the other occupant was quiet as sound insulation was pitiful.

Course is a society course in my opinion but still a good test for any golfer although spoilt a little by green that had been vericut and sanded making them bumpy and slow . good test

Not any real par 5's - over 500 yards - but apart from that, a good Society course. Bunkers could use some sand. Overall, quite enjoyable.

The course was decent enough, the tee boxes were OK the greens were nice if a bit spongy and a bit on the slow side. The greens were good with lots of hidden breaks and was a good test of our golfing skills. Some of the holes lull you in by being short but some of the greens are near impossible to hold if coming in from distance and there are a lot of risk reward holes. Our group really enjoyed the course.

We had millionaires golf. At one point we could see no one else on the course. We played middle of the day.
