1 Night, 2 Rounds
Set across 350 acres in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Dale Hill is a cracking South East golf break with two proper championship courses. The Woosnam Course, designed by Ian Woosnam, is modern parkland golf with enough bite for good players but it won't batter higher handicaps either. The Old Course is shorter on the card but tighter through mature woodland, so you'll want to keep it in play.
It's around an hour from London and about 25 minutes from Royal Tunbridge Wells, so it works brilliantly for a quick escape rather than a full travel day. Off the course, you've got a well-reviewed four-star hotel, two restaurants and a leisure centre for a post-round swim or sauna.
Who is this for?
Golfers or mixed-ability groups after a weekend break with two contrasting rounds, solid food and easy logistics.
Who is it best for?
Societies and small groups chasing variety, couples wanting golf plus leisure time and mid-to-high handicappers who like straightforward, enjoyable golf in peaceful countryside.

The Old Course carves through the mature woodland that is characteristic of the whole estate, and provides visitors with splendid views of the Sussex Weald. Despite not being particularly lengthy - the Old measures 5,856 yards - the par of 69 remains a considerable test. The front nine is more open, while the woodland that dominates the final holes makes for an exacting closing stretch.
Dale Hill received a shot in the arm in 1997, when Ryder Cup legend and US Masters winner Ian Woosnam added the resort's second championship course. The modern parkland layout, measuring 6512 yards, is designed in line with USGA construction principles, and features many challenging holes as it sweeps across the natural undulations of the landscape. Highlights include the spectacular 16th, a short hole played across a severe gully. The Woosnam is the perfect balance, as it challenges the highly-skilled players without becoming too difficult for the average visitor.
Dale Hill is also home to a PGA Game Improvement Centre, making it just the place for both practice and tuition.
Dale Hill's two courses and excellent facilities make it perfect for a corporate or society outing.
The hotel keeps a traditional country-club look, but the rooms are modern, comfortable and well set up for a golf stay. There are 50 bedrooms in total, with a mix that suits couples and groups, plus plenty of space to stash your kit between rounds. Depending on where you're based, you can look out over the courses or across the Weald, which is a pretty good backdrop to the morning coffee.
Food is a big part of the appeal here. The Wealden View Restaurant is the smarter option for dinner, serving a strong menu with seasonal specials that showcase local produce. The Orangery Restaurant is a more relaxed choice for classics and crowd-pleasers after a long day. The Lounge Bar is ideal for the pre-dinner pint or a quick recap of the damage on the back nine.
If your group likes a bit of downtime, the leisure centre has a heated indoor pool, gym and sauna, so non-golfers are well catered for too. You're also in prime High Weald countryside, with local walks nearby and fishing available in the area if you fancy swapping a wedge for a rod for a few hours.

The staff at this hotel were fantastic could not do enough for us. Even kept the restaurant open for us because of a late arrival. I did spill a cup of tea on the sheet of my bed unfortunately they did not change the bedding . We were disappointed with the menu because we had the same menu for 4 nights. And the breakfast food was not very well presented and only Luke warm at best .

Great location and fantastic golf. I would revisit for this alone. The bar area and quality of food in the bar including cleanliness is very poor indeed and I hope this is improved.

The rooms were excellent, really comfortable beds and modern facilities. The Hotel itself was good but décor was a bit dated and could probably do with modernising. It looks like it hasn’t been touched since the 80’s. We all thought the food was excellent. The menu was superb, dinner and breakfast were fantastic – I’d visit again just for the food. Also, the head guy running the restaurant deserves particular praise, he was old school and absolutely superb. Overall it was a good experience and we would definitely go back.

Very good hotel, "Your Golf Travel" did not pass on the problems on the Woosnam course they are having--but the Hotel when they heard really looked after us good food, good service good value. Would go again.

Very fresh and modern room. Lovely bathroom and shower. Balcony overlooking the course, really nice. Hotel restaurant food was good quality, but a tad fussy for hungry golfers to be honest. However, there was an option to mix and match with the bar menu, which we discovered for night two. More substantial food for fellas who have built up an appetite on the course. Bar and restaurant prices would be a bit steep if you weren't on an all inclusive deal.

Not a large hotel. Very friendly & welcoming staff. Clean rooms with comfortable beds and nice quiet location. Good quality pub grub type dinner and great selection of tasty hot and cold food for breakfast.

We had a great time on our golf break to Dale Hill. The hotel was good, staff were helpful and friendly and the food was good too.
Now to the golf...
The Woosnam Course was poor. It was very wet and as such the greens weren’t very good. Having said that the Old Course was much better and everyone enjoyed it.
All in all its winter golf at the moment and this is the risk you take when you play at this time of year. However when you look at what we paid it was great value for money.
We will be back in touch with YGT and booking a trip next
year.

Poor fairways but I understand that this is not the fault of the club, hope they can repair for the next season.

Really enjoyed the round. There are some absolutely stunning holes on the course – really beautiful! Only gripe would be that some of the rough was quite long and had grass cuttings all over it which made finding any wayward balls into the rough really difficult to find. I couldn’t understand why it had to be kept so long and why the grass cuttings weren’t collected. It slowed the round up looking for balls which should have been easy to find. All in all a nice place and we would go again and hope to play the Woosnam next time too.

I loved this course. Some open holes to start, and then many among the trees. I thought the greens here were a shade better than the Woosnam. Some spectacular and imaginative holes, with beautifully interesting and contoured fairways and greens. Shorter hitters may find it on the difficult side, particularly if the wind blows. One of the nicer courses I have played....I WILL be back.
