MACDONALD HILL VALLEY HOTEL, GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB
Location: Whitchurch, Shropshire, 12 miles SW of Crewe, 17 miles East of Wrexham SY13 4HAHill Valley is fortunate to be the home of two excellent championship courses, both of which come courtesy of the legendary design duo, Peter Allis and Dave Thomas. Since their inauguration in 1975, they have matured nicely, and are integral to Hill Valley's reputation as a fantastic golf resort.
Emerald Course
The Emerald Course is named as such in a tribute to its lush, green environment, and is the perfect resort course, being suitably challenging for skilled players, whilst remaining playable for the average visitor. The natural undulations of the landscape work in harmony with the strategically positioned water hazards and sand traps to create many challenging holes, while the superb greens are expertly maintained to ensure that they putt beautifully throughout the year.
Saphire Course
The Sapphire Course may be considerably shorter than the Emerald, but it is no less entertaining. At 5,700 yards, you would not expect to be unduly challenged, but the abundant hazards, particularly the water, make matching the par of 66 extremely difficult. A deadly short game is priceless around the Sapphire, where those with a good grasp of the ‘scoring shots' - from within 100 yards - will no doubt reap the rewards.
The dedicated team of staff at Hill Valley prides itself on providing a level of customer service matched only by the beauty of the surroundings.
This commitment is complemented by the 81 outstanding guest bedrooms, whose quality is testament to the £10 million investment programme that has recently been completed. The bedrooms are all a good four-star level, featuring luxury extras like plasma screen televisions, and guarantee visitors a truly relaxing and comfortable experience.
MacDonald Hill Valley now boasts a newly completed spa and wellness complex, complete with a 20 metre pool and a thermal suite. In the tranquil spa, indulge yourself with one of the luxurious face and body treatments. The health and leisure centre also has a superbly equipped Technogym.
In the local area, notable attractions include the Severn Valley Railway, Cholmondeley Castle, Beeston Castle and the Stoke-on-Trent potteries.
Hill Valley's two golf courses and excellent facilities make it an ideal host for a corporate golf day.
