Tewkesbury Park is one of the leading venues on the NCG Top 100s: GB&I Golf Resorts list to be in Gloucestershire. The venue has two golf courses, including the 18-hole Deerpark Course, along with a stylish and laidback hotel that features a range of rooms, and a spa and fitness centre. 

 

The Deerpark Course is the 18-hole offering at Tewkesbury Park, and it provides golfers with a tough test of their game. Panoramic views of the Cotswolds, can lure you in to a false sense of security, with water hazards and oak trees bringing you crashing back down. There is also the 9-hole Acorn Course and some useful practice facilities to help you warm up prior to taking on the Deerpark.  

 

For those looking to work out away from the golf course, Tewkesbury Park is home to a health and wellness centre. The gym at the centre is fully equipped with Life Fitness Equipment, while there is also a spin class area and the opportunity to receive personal training. A swimming pool, steam room, hot tub and barrel sauna are among the facilities in the wellness section, while there is a range of spa treatments and massages for guests to enjoy. 

 

When it comes to accommodation, luxury is afforded to guests of Tewkesbury Park in a stylish and laidback manner. The ‘Just Right’ and ‘Touch of Class’ Rooms do as they say, while there are also two styles of Historic Rooms as well. The Indulgence and Opulence Rooms are the most luxurious options at the hotel, with the latter offering bay windows with gorgeous views of the region.

Set in undulating parkland in beautiful rural Gloucestershire, the 6,554-yard, Par 72 Deerpark course offers panoramic views, water features, cross-cut fairways, veteran oaks, and manicured greens. The beauty of the course is complemented by views of the Cotswolds, the Malverns, rolling countryside, and Tewkesbury’s Norman Abbey. There's a reason we call it a "mini-Gleneagles".  

 

The 18-hole layout at Tewkesbury Park begins with a dog-leg left par 5, with two of the hardest holes on the course coming at you early. The 3rd is a 480-yard par 4 which runs parallel to the River Severn, while the 4th is the hardest hole on the scorecard. At 425 yards from the tips, it is not the longest par 4 in the world, but the hole narrows as you get towards the green, with plenty of trees and sand awaiting any errant approach shot. The 5th follows and is the first par 3 on the card. It is less than 150 yards from the tips, but plays over water and with bunkers either side of the green.  

 

The 14th should be a birdie opportunity as long as you get your drive past the large oak tree which stands in the middle of the fairway. The closing hole of the Deerpark Course is a drivable par 4. At just 265 yards from the tips, most will fancy their chances of being able to reach. However, with the hotel and croquet lawn to the left of the green and plenty of other trouble around, it might be a safe idea to take a long iron and lay up in the middle of the fairway.  

The hotel at Tewkesbury Park is stylish and laid-back, with a variety of rooms and suites on offer. There are two types of rooms – the ‘Just Right’ Rooms and the ‘Touch of Class’ Rooms. The Just Right Rooms are the standard offering at the hotel, while the Touch of Class Rooms do exactly as they say, and add that extra touch to a stay at Tewkesbury Park.  

 

There are also a stunning range of Historic Rooms in the Manor House at Tewkesbury Park. The Opulence Rooms and the Indulgence Rooms offer a luxurious place to rest your head. The Indulgence Rooms are individually designed, while the four Opulence Rooms offer up bay windows and bathroom TVs, the utmost luxury at the resort.  

 

The gastronomic options at Tewkesbury Park are sublime as well, with Mint and the No.19 Cafe both using local suppliers to provide guests with local produce. There is also the opportunity to enjoy an Afternoon Tea at the venue, while the Cocktail Bar & Lounge provides a suitable place to enjoy a drink of an evening.
