Golf Course Info

The setting for Hawkstone Park’s two 18 hole championship golf courses and 6-hole Academy course could hardly be better – Hawkstone Park is an English Heritage Grade I landscape and was recently voted one of the top 20 golf holiday destinations in the world.

The three courses were designed in extensive parkland surrounding the ruins of a medieval castle, with the cliffs of the world-famous 18th Century Follies providing a spectacular backdrop.

Hawkstone course

The Hawkstone Course has been attracting golfers since 1920. In those days it had just 9 holes but what it shared with today’s championship, 18-hole course is the fabulous setting. The dramatic sandstone cliffs, with their world-famous Follies, create a spectacular backdrop to many holes. The Hawkstone’s charm is enhanced by its parkland design, with fairways lined with mature oak and birch. The scenery is a major draw, but the challenges offered by the par 72, 6497-yard course should never be underestimated.

Championship course

Hawkstone Park boasts two genuine championship courses. The Championship is a par 72, 6763-yard championship course designed by former Ryder Cup captain Brian Huggett. Brian has introduced many American-style features into his design, such as oval tees, rolling fairways with mounds and good use of water features. In common with the Hawkstone course, its signature hole is the par 5 10th. The fairway curves round the lake, providing a difficult dog-leg – and the challenge of reaching the green over the water in two. Formerly known as the Windmill, the Championship course was opened in 1995.

Academy course and practice facilities

We want golfers of all abilities to enjoy the experience of Hawkstone Park. We are particularly keen to encourage the whole family to take part. The Academy is a 6-hole, par 3, 729-yard course which offers plenty of challenges to beginners and intermediate players. More experienced golfers will also find the course great for a quick warm-up or an opportunity to work on their short game. In addition to the Academy course, players can enjoy the use of a 15-bay practice range, two large putting greens, a chipping green and a practice bunker with pitching area.
