1 Night, 2 Rounds
Staverton Park is a popular stay-and-play option in the Midlands, pairing a modern, well-equipped hotel with a championship parkland course just outside Daventry. If you enjoy traditional inland golf, you'll like the feel here: mature trees frame many holes, bunkers are positioned to catch anything loose and water comes into play often enough to keep you honest.
The layout tends to reward sensible course management over pure power. There's good variety across the round, so it stays engaging for mixed-ability groups, particularly societies who want a fair test without it feeling like a slog.
It's also an easy one to organise. With the M1 close by, Staverton Park is reachable from most parts of the UK, which makes weekend logistics simpler for groups travelling from different directions. Once you arrive, the setting feels pleasantly self-contained, with 150 acres of parkland around the hotel and course.
Off the course, you've got the essentials covered: comfortable rooms, a leisure club with pool, gym, sauna and steam room, plus an on-site bar and restaurant for post-round food and drinks. If you're after a convenient Midlands base with golf, accommodation and facilities all in one place, Staverton Park ticks the key boxes.
Who is this for?
Golfers and groups who want a straightforward Midlands stay-and-play break with easy motorway access, on-site leisure facilities and a parkland course that suits a range of handicaps.
Who is it best for?
Societies and mid-handicappers who enjoy strategic, tree-lined golf, plus organisers who need reliable rooms, meeting space and a venue that's easy for the whole group to reach.

Staverton Park is renowned locally for two things: the super greens which are playable throughout the calendar year, and the warm welcome reserved for all those fortunate enough to visit, making it a joy for all who choose it for a golf break.
Since opening in 1977, the parkland layout has matured greatly, and the course has grown and bedded in, with numerous hazards, including lakes and severe bunkers, posing a considerable challenge to all standards of golfers. Course condition is great all year round, with firm, fast greens and hilly fairways offering great views of the East Midlands countryside.
The front nine is undulating with some severe elevation changes, making for some tricky second shots. The back nine is flatter but features a great mix of holes, from the gorgeous par 3 12th to the thrilling finale on 18.
Staverton Park's resident PGA professionals are fully qualified to offer excellent tuition for both beginners and established players.
Signature Hole: 11th – Par 5, 554 yards
The signature 11th is the perfect risk/reward par 5 which invites the longer hitters to have a crack at reaching the green in two. Keep your tee shot as far right as you can without over-cooking it into the trees. This will set up an easier second shot; however a stream short of the green, plus a large bunker front-left, will test both your nerve and your ability to keep a fairway wood or long-iron on target. If you are not confident of carrying the stream, lay up short to set up a birdie chance.
Staverton Park has 247 rooms, making it a practical choice for societies, corporate groups and larger get-togethers where you need everyone under one roof. Room options cover the basics for solo travellers, couples and twins for golfing pairs, with modern essentials including high-speed internet and satellite TV in every room.
After a round, the leisure club is a genuine plus. There's an indoor pool for an easy recovery swim, a gym if you're fitting training in around golf and a sauna and steam room to help loosen up. The whirlpool spa is a welcome touch if you're playing back-to-back days or simply want to ease off after walking 18 holes on an undulating parkland layout.
Food and drink are straightforward to manage on-site, with a bar and restaurant in the hotel. That's handy when you'd rather not organise taxis or split the group up across different venues, particularly if you're staying for multiple nights and want to keep things simple. The restaurant offers enough variety to keep things interesting across a longer stay, and the bar has the kind of relaxed atmosphere that suits post-golf conversation without feeling overly formal.
For organisers, the size of the property and its location near the M1 also make it a familiar option for conferences and corporate outings, with space to bring everyone together before or after golf. That dual-purpose setup means the hotel is well-practised at handling groups, which tends to show in the service and the way check-in, dining and facilities are managed.
Parking is plentiful and included, which matters when you're coordinating arrivals from different parts of the country. The hotel sits within the estate grounds, so once you've checked in, everything you need, golf, leisure facilities, dining and your room, is within easy walking distance.
If you're planning a Midlands break and want to keep everything in one place, golf, accommodation, leisure facilities and dining, Staverton Park makes the logistics easy. It's the kind of setup that works particularly well for societies and groups who want a hassle-free weekend without the premium price tag you'd find at some of the bigger resort complexes.

Nice challenge. Good greens. Bunkers bit average. But good course for a trip away
Melvyn

Excellent and interesting course.The reason for 4stars instead of 5 is in connection with bunkers which need more sand and also attention to trimming the grass to make a clean defined edge around the bunker.No problems getting around the course as it was well signed and on each tee ground the hole plan was very useful.Thankyou Staverton.See you soon.

An interesting and tricky course well maintained with nice views. A slight problem in the pro s shop as they were not aware of the discount off the buggy price (ie one for free first day) however this was resolved. The buggies were excellent, clean and quiet.

We were lucky as the two of us had no-one in front of us or behind us until the 14th hole .... when we had to wait a bit on each hole. However, we had been advised that the course was busy, and we normally play quite quickly, so this was fine. Enjoyable course, well kept and look forward to playing it again.

Actual golf was good but when we got there was informed that tee time was now 1.37pm from 1pm and it was near to 2pm when we were allowed to tee off which messed up all our plans. Also the Monday tee time was changed.Also was promised N/P and L/D markers would be put out for us both days, this did not happen on either day. Please arrange for compensation. Regards Paul Cave
