Best Western Ullesthorpe Court sits in the heart of England with handy access from the M1 and M6, which makes it an easy win for a quick UK golf break. You've got a proper four-star country house base, solid leisure facilities and, most importantly, an 18-hole parkland course that asks a few questions on the way in. I'm a sucker for a strong finishing hole and the closer here is exactly that, a proper last par four that can swing the match if you get loose off the tee.
The course stretches to 6,662 yards off the back tees and plays to a par 72, weaving through mature woodland and open fairways punctuated by strategic water hazards. It's privately owned and run by a team who understand what golfers actually want: efficient check-in, a decent breakfast that sets you up for the day, and staff who know the course.
The location makes it a practical base for exploring the wider region, whether that's Bosworth Battlefield, the National Forest, or the market towns dotted across Leicestershire and Warwickshire. You're also within striking distance of other quality Midlands courses if you're planning a multi-day tour and want to mix things up.
Who is this for?
Golfers looking for a straightforward parkland round within easy reach of the Midlands motorway network, societies wanting a solid course-and-hotel package, and anyone combining golf with a spa break or regional sightseeing.
Who is it best for?
Mid-handicappers who enjoy a proper-length parkland challenge, groups wanting quality on-site facilities without the premium price tag, and visitors to the East Midlands who want golf, leisure and dining all under one roof.

A charming parkland layout with something for everyone, the water hazards offer aesthetic beauty and a challenge which should not be underestimated, with the chance to either make or break a scorecard.
Extensively refurbished in 2008, the clubhouse facilities offer that all important ‘19th hole' which serves a good range of freshly made and reasonably priced bar meals all day, along with ample changing facilities and a very well stocked shop run by a PGA professional who is always willing to ‘do you a deal!' A number of cabaret and quiz nights are hosted by the golf club throughout the year and hotel residents are welcome to attend & join in.
All 72 rooms are en-suite and come with multi-channel TV including movie options plus the usual four-star essentials. Standard rooms are a comfortable base after 18 holes, while superior rooms add a bit more space and often a better view over the grounds. If you're making a weekend of it, the executive suites are the step-up, ideal for couples or anyone who wants a separate sitting area and upgraded bathroom. The beds are comfortable, which matters more than people think when you're walking 18 holes a day, and the rooms are quiet enough to get a proper night's sleep before an early tee time.
The leisure club is comprehensive and genuinely useful if you're staying more than one night. There's a swimming pool, spa pool, sauna, steam room and a well-equipped air-conditioned gym for those who like to keep moving between rounds. Two full-size snooker tables provide a decent alternative to the bar if the weather turns, and the outdoor all-weather tennis court is there if you fancy a knock-about. Utopia, the on-site beauty salon, runs a full treatment menu daily, including sports massage. Worth booking in if you've walked 36 holes and your lower back is reminding you that you're not 25 anymore.
There's on-site dining, so you're not forced back in the car after your round. Expect familiar British favourites done properly, with a menu that covers steaks, fish and seasonal dishes. Breakfast is included in most golf packages and offers a proper cooked spread alongside lighter continental options. The bar works well for the usual scorecard chat and post-round analysis, and there's a wine list if you're celebrating a rare birdie on the 18th.

A great venue, the food was excellent. The golf was rained off on the Friday and Sunday. Only disappointing thing was the rain stopping play and the expensive beverage bill. We only got informed the the last night , that if you put the drinks on your room bill you would received 20 percent off your alcohol bill. Reception and bar staff didn’t inform us of this at the start of the golf weekend. The manager apologised to us the last evening. Recommend this to other groups!

Very frosty on the Sunday all temp greens, but was fun for all to play on an ice rinc. Course in great condition thou. Monday was better sun shinning and some greens open. The course was great for winter golf and a credit to the Green staff for a great job trying to cope.

We played in gale force winds so this made the course more difficult than it should have been. Overall a nice course with a couple of challenging holes. Would like to play it again in calmer conditions.
