In the attractive Tudor-style clubhouse you will find a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, where you can enjoy good food from a varied menu, which includes snacks from our specials board.

Officially designated an area of outstanding natural beauty in 133 acres of parkland and bordered by the river Thames, it makes an exquisite and tranquil setting for the course. Within it lies 3 lakes and challenging wetland areas to add to the attractions of the par-72 course. Designed by former Ryder Cup Captain Brian Huggett MBE, it features a double green, sleepered bunker and sleepered lake edges of a typical American design. The beautiful par 3, 8th is the designer's signature hole and the 18th, a par 4 with a split fairway around a listed copse, is an interesting challenge.

The Lakeside restaurant has an intimate atmosphere inspired by its gentle décor and the lovely view of the lake.
The award-winning menu takes advantage of fresh local produce, and the well-stocked cellar of international wines provides the perfect accompaniment to a splendid meal.

Facilities at the hotel also include: a putting green, a croquet lawn, coarse fishing on the banks of the Thames, a sauna and an outdoor heated swimming pool.

Should you still feel energetic after your golf, then you could take a stroll along the "Ridgeway" walk or you could take out one of the hotel's mountain bikes and explore the surrounding area.
