01992 763660A good UK stay and play golf break gives you the course you want, a comfortable place to sleep and an easy evening after the round. The important detail is what the package includes: two nights at the same resort can produce very different holidays depending on the courses, rooming and meals you choose.
We have selected ten resorts across England, Wales and Scotland to help you compare those decisions. This is a guide to choosing a venue; our UK golf breaks collection is the place to explore the wider range of holiday options.
The links below take you to the relevant 360 resort page. Course names describe the choice at the venue; the rounds allocated to your own break need to be specified in the quote.
| Resort and location | Golf at the venue | A reason to shortlist it |
|---|---|---|
| The BelfryWest Midlands, England | Brabazon, PGA National and Derby | A break built around a famous course, with alternatives for the other rounds. |
| Breadsall PrioryDerbyshire, England | Priory and Moorland | Two course choices during a country-house hotel stay. |
| The DorsetDorset, England | 27 holes across three nine-hole loops | A group comparing hotel accommodation with shared log homes. |
| St. Mellion EstateCornwall, England | Nicklaus Signature and Kernow | The Nicklaus experience alongside a shorter second course. |
| Slaley HallNorthumberland, England | Hunting and Priestman | A northern countryside break with two distinct layouts. |
| Barnham BroomNorfolk, England | Pennink and Steel, formerly Valley and Hill | An inland Norfolk base with both rounds available at the resort. |
| St. PierreChepstow, Wales | Old and Mathern | A south Wales stay combining the Old Course with a shorter alternative. |
| Fairmont St AndrewsFife, Scotland | Torrance and Kittocks | A coastal resort stay near St Andrews with golf on the estate. |
| DalmahoyNear Edinburgh, Scotland | East and West | Country-estate golf with Edinburgh within the wider holiday plans. |
| Glasgow WesterwoodCumbernauld, Scotland | One 18-hole course | A single-course hotel break in central Scotland. |
Start with a sensible travel radius, then decide how much course variety you want. Our England golf breaks cover more options if these six do not match your preferred location.
The Belfry is a natural candidate when the Brabazon is the round everyone wants to play. Its Ryder Cup history gives the venue a clear identity, while the PGA National and Derby create scope for a different second day.
The detail to settle: book the named course rather than relying on the resort name alone. Ask for the Brabazon to be clearly identified if it is the reason for the trip.
Explore The Belfry golf breaks.
Breadsall Priory offers the Priory and Moorland courses around its country-club hotel. That makes it worth comparing for a weekend where the group wants to sample two layouts while keeping the same base.
Use our Breadsall Priory course guide to look more closely at the golf, then compare the hotel and golf package for your dates. Course allocation matters more than a generic promise of two rounds.
The Dorset stands out for its accommodation choices. A group can compare hotel rooms with log homes, bringing rooming and shared living space into the decision alongside the golf.
The 27-hole golf offering allows different nine-hole combinations. With shared accommodation, calculate the price using the actual number travelling and check any under-occupancy charge. Extra beds are only useful if the rooming works for the people using them.
Look at Dorset golf resort stays.
At St. Mellion, the decision begins with the Nicklaus Signature Course. Pairing it with the shorter Kernow Course can give the weekend a different rhythm from repeating the same layout.
It is a course-led option for a group willing to make the journey to Cornwall. Compare the time spent travelling with the number of nights you can stay; a longer break may give you more opportunity to enjoy the reason you came.

Slaley Hall offers a contrast between the Hunting and Priestman courses. The Hunting brings trees, water and a more enclosed setting; the Priestman occupies higher ground with a more open outlook.
It suits a shortlist focused on northern England and countryside golf. Decide whether the group wants one round on each layout before comparing the hotel packages, rather than leaving that choice until arrival.

Barnham Broom provides two courses with different personalities: Pennink and Steel. Older descriptions may call them Valley and Hill, so make sure the names on the itinerary refer to the golf you intended to book.
For a stay-and-play weekend, its appeal is the ability to keep accommodation and both course choices together. If you want to extend the holiday beyond the resort, our East Anglia course guide explains the wider area's golfing options.

Chepstow is one possible base for a Welsh resort break. For a broader choice of destinations, see our Wales golf breaks.
St. Pierre combines the Championship Old Course with the shorter Mathern Course. The Old has a tournament history that includes the Solheim Cup, while the second layout gives you another option within the same stay.
Choose the mix according to the group. Some golfers will want the Old as the main event; others may prefer a shorter round during the break. Have each allocation confirmed when comparing St. Pierre hotel and golf offers.
These three options offer different settings around Fife, Edinburgh and central Scotland. Our Scotland golf breaks help you compare a resort stay with other ways to explore Scottish golf.
Fairmont brings the Torrance and Kittocks courses together in a coastal resort outside St Andrews. It is a choice for golfers who want a resort holiday with time to visit the town as well as play.
Be clear about the golf: Fairmont's own courses are the Torrance and Kittocks. A stay here should not be taken to include a round on the Old Course; any golf elsewhere needs its own confirmed arrangements.
Discover Fairmont St Andrews stays.
Dalmahoy's East and West courses give you two approaches to the same estate. The East is the longer challenge, while the West can provide a shorter round without moving to another venue.
It is worth considering if part of the holiday involves Edinburgh, although the hotel sits outside the city centre. Decide whether the priority is time at the resort or evenings in the city, and plan the transport accordingly.
See Dalmahoy golf break options.
Glasgow Westerwood has one 18-hole course, designed by Seve Ballesteros and Dave Thomas. Its Cumbernauld location makes it an alternative to the Fife and Edinburgh resorts for a central Scotland stay.
A single-course venue can suit a short break or golfers who enjoy a second attempt at the same layout. If playing a different course every day is important, use that preference when comparing it with the two-course resorts.
Ask about Glasgow Westerwood golf breaks.
The useful comparison is the total cost of the holiday you want. Start with one brief and ask for alternatives against it, so differences in nights, rooming and course choice do not disguise the price.
Request a nearby one-night option, with the required rounds and meals priced together. Compare midweek or Sunday arrivals if your dates allow.
Include transport and any single-room charge before deciding which quote offers better value.
Compare an extra night with paying for another round. A two-course resort may give you the variety you want without adding off-site journeys.
Price the exact layouts and a realistic number of rounds for the daylight available.
If the Brabazon, Nicklaus Signature or a particular resort is the purpose of the trip, put that requirement first.
Ask for any course supplements and room upgrades separately, so you can decide where extra spending adds most to the holiday.
Prices and offers depend on the dates, group and package. The linked resort pages provide a starting point; your quote should state the inclusions, allocated courses and total payable for the arrangements requested.
Request the price for one person in their own room, rather than working from a twin-sharing headline. Ask how tee-time pairing is handled and whether the proposed rounds are suitable for someone travelling alone. Do not assume a resort package includes a hosted group or golf tuition.
Separate the golfer's rounds from the other person's holiday. Check what they would enjoy while you play, which facilities are accessible and whether treatments or activities cost extra. A golf package does not automatically turn an unused round into a spa treatment.
Agree the rooming and priorities before requesting prices. A group sharing log homes at The Dorset may want a different evening from friends booking hotel twins at Breadsall Priory or Slaley Hall.
For larger parties, put consecutive tee times, shared dining and the organiser's payment arrangements ahead of optional extras. Any free-place benefit should appear in the written quote, with the qualifying numbers and dates made clear.
It combines accommodation with specified golf. Breakfast, dinner, practice access and leisure facilities depend on the offer. Read the included services and course allocation rather than assuming every resort uses the same package.
Most of the venues in this selection have more than one layout. The Belfry has three courses, and The Dorset has 27 holes across three loops. Glasgow Westerwood has one 18-hole course. Availability and the package determine which rounds you can actually include.
No. Establish how the offer works, including advance tee times, additional-round reservations, the courses covered and daylight. Extra play can depend on availability and conditions, even where an offer is described as unlimited.
Yes, but choose the courses and tees around the people playing. Having two layouts gives you choices, rather than a guarantee that both will suit every golfer. Tell the team about beginners, handicaps and anyone who prefers shorter rounds.
Begin once you know the likely dates and numbers, especially if a named course or a sequence of tee times is essential. The hotel rooms and golf both need to fit; securing one without the other can leave the organiser with a compromise.
Choose two or three resorts from the comparison and tell us what matters most: a particular course, separate layouts, lodge accommodation or keeping the journey short.
Include the dates, golfers, non-golfers and rooming you expect. We can then help you compare the available breaks on the basis of the holiday your party wants.
