8.8
Very Good See all 80 reviews

Hawkstone Park Golf Club is one of the most popular golf trip destinations in the North West of England. Surrounded by mature Shropshire countryside, this 36 hole golf resort has welcomed golfers for decades with both The Hawkstone, designed by 5-time Open Champion James Braid, and The Championship golf courses providing a superb test for a range of handicaps.

In terms of settings, few can compete with Hawkstone Park. It's two championship golf courses and the academy layout are nestled in an English Heritage Grade I landscape, next to the ruins of a medieval castle and the stunning cliffs of the Follies.

The picturesque surroundings combined with testing golf, popular with golf societies and smaller groups alike, make Hawkstone Park a perfect destination for golf breaks in the North West.

Golf Courses at Hawkstone Park Hotel, Golf & Country Club

Championship Golf Course

The Championship Course is Hawkstone Park’s youngest layout and has made this venue one of the few in the West Midlands to boast 36 holes of championship golf. Weighing in at 6,763 yards it is noticeably longer than the Hawkstone Course and features many Americanisms – including generous fairways and large water hazards – which create an interesting juxtaposition with the stunning, and very English surroundings

Hawkstone Golf Course

The golf complex at Hawkstone Park extends to forty two holes, giving visiting golfers excellent variety. The 18-hole Hawkstone Course is where a young Sandy Lyle learnt his trade and it boasts some excellent holes. Particular highlights come around the turn and include holes such as the 12th, which has cleverly made use of the castle’s moat. Measuring 6,487 yards, this course is long enough to pose a question of even the best player’s golf game while not being overbearing for the lesser equipped player.

Signature hole: The 10th on the Hawkstone is the resort's signature; named ‘The Road Hole', the 518 yard par-5 hugs the dramatic cliff top.

Hotel was nice - room was good. Bar was quite busy and could have done with more staff on whilst there was a wedding happening. Had a top time at Hawkstone and would definitely recommend.

Since the refurbishment the bedroom - ensuite accommodation is very comfortable, if not a little small... and for ladies, somewhat grey! The restaurant is very light and the menu was excellent for the money. Our two complaints were the understaffing, particularly at dinner on Tues 3rd. There were over 50 men in the room and only 3 staff plus bar man so there was a lot of rushing around. Also the level of noise was very difficult. We would like to see these society venues considering this issue (The Vale was the same earlier in the summer) and offer a quieter area to eat. We are encouraged to see the building work in progress as the existing Clubhouse building is grim, with no atmosphere in the bar-eating area and a Pro-Shop that closes early in the afternoon. Overall we enjoyed the visit.

The hotel was amazing, the staff were really helpful and the rooms were fantastic. The only problem was that they still had the pool/snookers tables advertised when in fact they had been removed from the hotel. So just a pre-warning for anybody visiting that getting a taxi into Shrewsbury is probably the best option.

Not much longer on the card than the "Park" course, but played longer! Lot of water and wet in places. Greens faster than those on the Park course. LOT of uncollected grass cuttings on the fairways. Little or no sand in the fairway bunkers - apart from the stones, they played like bare ground. Ladies' tees felt like they were an afterthought - more often than not, tucked away to the side of the fairways. "Championship" course??? Perhaps in name....

Probably one of the nicest settings for a golf course. Helps if you know your way around.... directions to next tee would be helpful in places. Bunkers - a lot of stones! We played ~1pm on Monday - had the course to ourselves!!
