RAMADA GLOUCESTER HOTEL & RESORT

The principle course is a proven tournament venue, having staged the West of England PGA Championship, as well as numerous pro-am events. It is reasonable to view the course in two parts, with the opening 11 holes spanning the lower ground, which is bisected by numerous streams. With these perils safely negotiated, golfers face the challenging uphill 12^th, which is the gateway to the closing stretch, a series of excellent holes that provide panoramic views across the surrounding countryside.

The signature hole is the downhill 18^th, which is widely regarded as one of the most exciting finishing holes in the area.

At the fringes of the Cotswolds, and in the midst of a beautiful 240 acre estate, the Ramada Gloucester hotel and resort can be found. This excellent complex is the ideal place for a golf break in the West Midlands.

The hotel has 107 en-suite bedrooms, decorated in a modern style, and equipped with contemporary fittings like satellite television and internet connection. For more luxury and space, it is possible to upgrade to a suite, which features a separate sitting area.

The Health and Beauty Salon offers guests the chance of a facial, massage, pedicure or a tan, while the Sebastian Coe Health Club has the latest cardiovascular training technology, free weights, swimming pool, sauna, steam room, solarium and spa bath. There are also facilities for snooker, squash, tennis and dry-slope skiing.

The Arts Restaurant serves modern food in elegant surroundings.
