Oulton Park Golf Club

This location was chosen for the DGA Auld Enemies Cup. On arrival Roy Hodgson and the Crystal Palace Football Team were just leaving so I reckoned it would be an alright place to stay! The owner has his helicopter pick him up to go to meetings!
The hotel is 4 star, rooms and breakfast are amazing. I did not try the spa and pool but heard they were fantastic.
We ate in the Claret Jug the Club House, the food was not bad but nothing to shoot about. Drinks prices a little steep but we got 20% discount members rates. Coffee was around £3!
The course boasts 27 holes, we played all three nines. The Calverley, is the 1-18 The Hall 19-27.
10-18 19-27 is probably the toughest. We played it 19-27 10-18. The course is an amazing layout, very parkland tight in places. The greens not overly difficult but very true, not very quick but good to putt on. The tee boxes and Bunkers were very poor, and let the course down. Major work is to be done on both in the near future. The Fairways were average but have suffered in the dry summer. On its day I think this could be a fantastic course.
I'd love to go back and probably will as my lady can enjoy the Spa etc while I play a round.

played oulton park and stayed the night b4 in the on-course hotel. the hotel was a stately home b4 being converted,it was very grand & posh.also a bit expensive.if staying there i would definately take the dinner bed & breakfast option. need shirt & tie for the restaurant.we played the front 9 on the park & 9 on the hall. the holes seemed to play longer than the yardage suggested.the hall was the more difficult 9 bunkers were very well placed. greens were good.this belongs to the devere group,all their courses are quite open so a stray shot doesn't punish you like at some courses. overall opinon was an enjoyable course with opportunities to score well especially for long hitters off the tee.will return.
