Starting with the golf course, and the 18-hole layout at Kilnwick Percy. The Par 70 track is not the longest you will see on our list, but it provides a challenge to golfers of all abilities. There are plenty of bunkers, along with water hazards and recently planted trees to avoid. There is even a 600-yard par 5 to contend with early in the round! KP also has great practice facilities, with a driving range and short game area for golfers to hone their skills on before taking to the course.  

For those that want to stay active during their stay, the Box Gym is the place to go. The facility has a well-equipped gym with the latest equipment, including cardiovascular and resistance machines, along with an array of free weights. The Tranquillity Spa supplies the relaxation area, with sauna, steam rooms and hot tubs, along with a range of massages and treatments being available. 

 

When it comes to accommodation, Kilnwick Percy certainly has a wide variety of choices. From King Rooms and Super King Rooms to the Four Poster Suite which has its own hot tub on the outside decking area. There is also a choice of pet-friendly, self-catering lodges which can sleep up to eight people, and come with a beautiful, fully fitted kitchen and living area.

Kilnwick Percy’s golf course might not be the longest you will find of any of the venues on the NCG Top 100s: GB&I Golf Resorts list. It is only 6,220 yards long, and with wide fairways that look inviting. However, with water hazards, strategically placed bunkers and recently planted trees, there are plenty of challenges for golfers to take on during a round at KP. 

 

The Par 70 layout starts with a testing par 4 to get the round underway. Two fairway bunkers are in the landing zone, while a stream cuts across in front of the green, around 50 yards short. The 3rd is the shortest hole on the course, at just 123 yards from the tips. If you’re playing from the yellows, then it’s less than 100 yards! 4 is the longest and hardest hole on the course. At more than 610 yards from the tips, a par is a great score. It is the first of back-to-back par 5s, with the 5th providing a birdie opportunity. A decent drive can put you within reach of the green, but even if you don’t go for it in two, there is plenty of space to lay up to find the green with your third.  

 

The easiest hole on the property is the 11th, which measures just 290 from the back tees. It is drivable, but with two greenside bunkers, your tee shot must be accurate. The last par 5 at KP is the 12th and it provides another birdie opportunity, before you get to an interesting final stretch. 15 and 17 are both par 3s that feature water hazards, while the 415-yard closing hole is uphill and plays longer than its yardage.
