Golf

Courses fit for champions

Five Lakes Hotel, Golf, Country Club & Spa hosts two contrasting and mature 18 hole parkland courses which have gained an enviable reputation in this part of the world. The resort's courses are kept in superb condition all year round and each offers a variety of golfing challenges. The gentle undulation of the courses make walking easy and the course architecture combines lakes, well placed bunkers, mature and new trees with hedgerows, all of which contribute to the hotel's enviable reputation.

The Lakes Course
The course designer, Neil Coles MBE, aimed to enhance the rolling landscape of the surrounding countryside by creating a course with interesting features and landscaping. The tees and greens are built to USGA green specification and vary in design, height and undulation. Water is the predominant feature of this course coming into play on nine of the 18 holes with the fairways benefiting from an irrigation system. The generous fairways, large greens and water hazards provide a great test for golfers and ensure every club in the bag is used.

The Links Course
Completed in 1975, the Links Course has matured over the years, creating its' own challenges with plush greens that bring the importance of the short game into play. The Links Course presents a very different challenge to the Lakes, testing precision to the limit with narrow fairways and strategically placed water hazards, sand bunkers and well-guarded greens. Accuracy is the key to success on this course.
