1 Night, 2 Rounds
Set in 270 acres of Cheshire woodland, Mottram Hall is the sort of place you book when you want proper golf by day and a genuinely relaxing hotel by night. The 18th-century Georgian country house brings the character, while the resort facilities keep the whole group happy, even if not everyone wants 36 holes.
The championship course, host of the 2013 European Senior's PGA Championship, gives you two different feels in one round. The front nine is more open and scoreable if you're driving it well, but the back nine tightens up as it runs through denser woodland. Miss a fairway and you'll quickly learn that course management beats brute force around here. If you enjoy shaping tee shots and picking the right side of the fairway rather than just swinging hard, you'll have a lot of fun.
Location-wise, it's a very easy win for a short UK break. You're around 30 minutes from Manchester and less than 15 minutes from the Peak District, so it works for a quick escape, a society weekend, or a couple of nights tagged onto a city stay. The hotel sits tucked away in the leafy village of Mottram St Andrew, with Prestbury train station just 3 miles away if you're coming by rail.
Who is this for?
Golfers planning a short UK break who want championship golf, a quality spa and an easy drive or train ride from Manchester.
Who is it best for?
Couples and small groups who like strategic, tree-lined golf and want a full resort set-up on site, with dining, leisure facilities and somewhere worth staying even after the last putt drops.

Mottram Hall’s 7,006 yard 18-hole, Par 72 Championship golf course in Cheshire, is one of a kind. The host venue for the 2013 European Senior's PGA Championship; its tree-lined fairways and subtle undulating greens, present a challenge to even the most seasoned golfer.
Set in 270 acres of Cheshire's finest parkland and located one mile from the picturesque village of Prestbury, the tricky, well-guarded greens are broken up into two contrasting circuits of nine. The front nine, with its impressive backdrop of the 18th Century Hall, gently rolls over meadowland and offers the golfer many chances to make a score. The back nine winds through rich woodland and is a much more demanding test of golf.
Thanks to a £1.5 million refurbishment, the golfing facilities are second to none. Mid game, stop at the Halfway House for well-earned refreshments and light bites before taking on the last nine holes, or head upstairs to The Claret Jug restaurant at the end of your game and enjoy a cool beer and a hearty British classic.

The hotel has 120 bedrooms split between the Georgian main house and newer wings. The vibe is boutique and cosy rather than stiff, with Sealy beds, Egyptian cotton linens and well-finished rooms that suit couples and groups. Rooms range from Classic doubles through to Suites, with options for garden views, woodland outlooks, or direct access to the grounds. The design feels warm and inviting rather than corporate, which makes a difference when you're settling in after a long day on the course.
After golf, the spa is a standout in the region. It's five-bubble rated and includes the Alfresco ThermoSpace, a heated pool, indoor Jacuzzi, outdoor hydro-pool, sauna and a solid treatment menu if you've walked 18 on tired legs. The outdoor hydro-pool is particularly good in cooler weather, and the whole spa area is designed to feel calm and restorative rather than busy or rushed. If you prefer to keep moving, there's a well-equipped gym with up to 40 instructor-led classes a week, plus tennis courts and a FIFA-accredited football pitch for anyone looking to stay active beyond the course.
Food-wise, the AA Rosette-awarded restaurants cover the full weekend brief. You can go smart with three courses in the evening, keep it classic with afternoon tea in the lounge, or just grab breakfast and lighter bites around your tee time. The menus honour British heritage while weaving in international influences, and the quality is consistent enough to keep things interesting across a multi-night stay. The private gardens are a real bonus in good weather, and the grounds are landscaped to keep that calm, spa-like feel as you move around the estate.
Mottram Hall is located in Prestbury, Cheshire, about 30 minutes south of Manchester and less than 15 minutes from the Peak District National Park. The address is Wilmslow Road, Mottram St Andrew, Prestbury, Cheshire, SK10 4QT.

Fantastic hotel,the food is amazing.Only one downside is they have just opened a champagne bar in the main hotel.(only bar)They don't sell draught beer,the hall where they do weddings & the clubhouse with shuts ar 5.So you could be at one of the function does & get a pint.If your staying at the hotel you cannot,this unfair,apart from that it was perfect.

the hotel was excellent but due to a wedding reception the bar was closed until 8pm.Also due to renovations the spa was out of action which probably reflected the price.however we went into Wimslow to eat which was close by and there were many bars and restaurants to choose from.The staff were friendly and attentive and the room and grounds lovely.

Great facilities, staff and service, very flexible and eager to please. Food was generous regarding portion size and quality was first rate. VFM was rated as a 4 only for the fact that the beverage prices were only just this side of VFM based on the venue.

Staff were brilliant. So friendly, great service. Unfortunately we had a room next to the deliveries entrance. ....5.40 am was not funny , also must be where the staff park , so what must have been late night staff leaving...2/3/4 am so had no sleep!! Good choice at breakfast. Meals in the Claret Jug were good.

Horrendous, didn’t sleep a wink, maybe grabbed a couple of hours due to geese and ducks, loads of them screaming all night, I would have thought the night staff would have shoo’d them away so it’s residents could sleep, terribly unpleasant. 3 times my room card didn’t work, room very small, food portions were tiny and lots and lots of children running riot in the bar until midnight. One bar man in the main bar all night made getting a drink tricky also. I will not be going back.

Course was in very good condition, more so considering the conditions recently. Fairways were well manicured, well prepared and presented as were the greens. The rough was punishing but the fairways were wide enough that only the most errant shot was accepted. Greens were true, rolled well and accepted a good solid shot. Bunkers had been affected by the weather but the starter explained the situation fully and this alleviated any problems which may have arisen.

Bunkers were GUR in August as too much compacted sand - lack of greenkeepers ?

I have never seen tee boxes quit like it! Appalling condition, we had to tee off from the side of the tee box were there was some grass! The golf course layout was fine but the condition was poor, greens were below average I would give this place a miss.
