Bowood Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort, near Calne in Wiltshire, is the perfect golf destination, with a beautiful manicured championship course, rolling landscaped parkland and unbeatable service. The Dave Thomas designed course weaves effortlessly through 200 acres of Capability Brown’s mature woodland, with cavernous moulded bunkers, skilfully planned hillocks defining the fairways, and vast rolling greens, every aspect is in perfect harmony with the park.

A total distance of 7,317 yards from the championship tees, with numerous doglegs, bunkers, trees and lakes, the course will prove a test for any member of the PGA, and yet the integration of forward tees and generous fairways ensures that no one is excluded from the delights of this truly remarkable course.

Previously host to European Tour events the course is continually rated amongst the best in the country and is recognised as the best inland course in the west of England.

Last year the course was awarded the prestigious Gold Award from Golf Monthly and the five-star award from the undercover review team at Today’s Golfer magazine.

The practice facilities at Bowood are second to none. The three-hole Academy Course, an undercover floodlit driving range and two putting greens ensure that golfers have every opportunity to fine-tune their game. Tuition is available from a team of PGA qualified teaching professionals.

The former farmhouse, dating from the 18th century, has been lovingly converted into a superb Clubhouse with exceptional facilities and an informal, relaxed atmosphere. In 1998 a state-of-the-art conference and banqueting suite was opened providing superb facilities for corporate and society golf groups. Quality breakfasts and lunches are available in the servery, and fine dining is available for pre-booked groups.

There is also a fully-stocked pro shop with all the latest clothing and equipment, and advice is on hand from the experienced professional staff to ensure you make the right choice.

Currently under construction is a luxury hotel and spa featuring 43 rooms and a fine dining restaurant.

With the golf course, meeting, team building and banqueting facilities plus the beautiful house and gardens, Bowood is set to be the region’s leading destination resort.

Uniquely dinner, bed and breakfast rates will be fully inclusive of: golf, spa use, fishing rights, entry to the house and gardens and entry to the Rhododendron Walks.

The hotel will open on May 1, 2009.

A limited number of individual and corporate memberships are available, visiting golfers, golf groups and corporate events are always welcome.
