The golf course at Herons' Reach is a delightful parkland layout, designed by the renowned partnership of Peter Allis and Clive Clark. The main challenge for visiting golfers is to safely negotiate the seemingly endless series of water hazards, which come into play on no less than twelve holes.
The signature hole is undoubtedly the 9th, a testing par-4 at 446 yards, with the famous Blackpool tower in the background. The course has been recognised recently by the English Golf Union, and been awarded the PGA North Region Championships, emphasising the quality of the layout.
In addition, there are also facilities for game improvement, including a 17-bay floodlit driving range, and a chipping and putting area.
The De Vere establishment at Herons' Reach is the perfect place for a golf break in the north-west. Not only is the hotel set in 230 acres of stunning north-west countryside, it is also a mere 7 miles from the glittering promenade that Blackpool is so famous for.
Each of the 174 guest rooms have all the modern amenities that you would expect from the De Vere brand, and many have been improved further by a recent investment programme. For even further space and luxury, visitors can opt for a club room or junior suite.
With this comfort guaranteed, visitors will be refreshed and ready to tackle all that the golf course and Blackpool itself have to offer.
The superb facilities at Herons' Reach include a 21-metre swimming pool, gym, and squash and tennis courts. For relaxation, try the sauna, spa and steam room, or choose from an extensive list of beauty treatments in the purpose-built salon.
Blackpool is famous for its illuminations, and the renowned Pleasure Beach will provide all the thrills and spills anyone could want. From the white-knuckle rides to the fantastic pubs and clubs, the seaside resort is ideal for a rowdy weekend, or a bit of sun-seeking on the beach.
The Brasserie serves excellent cuisine from both the a la carte and set menus.
In the summer, thirsty visitors can enjoy a refreshing drink on the outdoor deck and patio at Nineteen East Park Drive.
