THE GROVE 5*
The Grove’s golfing complex opened to a fanfare of publicity, having been designed by Kyle Phillips, who shot to fame with his incredible creation at Kingsbarns. His terrific layout at The Grove has lived up to its billing, and successfully hosted the world’s best professionals for the American Express World Golf Championship in 2006.
The 7,152 yard course is a resort style stadium track that you may think would be more at home in America, with its massive, undulating greens and expanses of sand. But The Grove has been a welcome addition to the United Kingdom’s golfing portfolio, and is ideally equipped to play host to the foremost professional tournaments.
Phillips has blended his golf course into the natural surroundings with great sympathy, and has used the latest technology, including cutting-edge A4 creeping bent grass to ensure firm, fast putting surfaces. Among many fantastic holes is the superb 4th, a daunting par-3 which requires a good long iron to carry the water, characterising the memorable experience of a round on Phillips’ truly excellent club.

The Grove is home to the 2005 AA Hotel of the Year, an award that is testament to the outstanding quality of the 227 rooms and suites. The luxurious bedrooms are divided between the contemporary West Wing, whose superior and deluxe spaces are fitted with the best fabrics and furnishings, and the palatial Mansion, where open fireplaces and four-poster beds are among the opulent extras.
The beauty of the Grove is that it marries perfectly the elegance of the 18th century country house and the contemporary comfort and convenience of a modern 5* hotel, all of which results in arguably the most impressive resort in England to host your next golf break, society day or corporate outing.
The luxurious Sequoia Spa at the Grove was voted by Conde Nast as the ‘Best UK Spa Retreat’, where the most advanced health and beauty treatments are embellished by the use of the divine ESPA product range. The leisure club is a comprehensive facility where guests can use the indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room, spa pool and solarium while outside there are superb tennis courts.
Amazingly, the Grove also has its very own beach, a 17,000 sq. foot expanse of golden sand complete with an international standard volleyball court, a kids club, a lively beach bar and six individually designed beach huts. Local Knowledge: The Grove is situated adjacent to the M25, making it incredibly easy to access from London and its airports.
