1 Night, 1 Round
Set among the sweeping hills of Wiltshire, Bowood Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort is one of England's finest places to stay and play. The championship layout, named The PGA's Official Golf Course and Academy for the South West PGA, is one of Wiltshire's most beautiful tests, carved through the fabulous Bowood House estate with views across the countryside that'll make you forget you're meant to be concentrating on your approach shot.
Located on the A4 between Chippenham and Calne at Derry Hill (signposted from the M4, Junction 17), Bowood is extremely accessible from across the UK, which matters when you're planning a weekend break or society trip. The 4-star hotel delivers top-class service alongside a comprehensive spa, and it's easy to see why this is a Signature Collection resort. The golf is serious enough to test low handicappers, the facilities are strong enough to keep non-golfers happy, and the whole estate has that rare mix of quality and character that turns a weekend of golf into a proper getaway rather than just another round somewhere new.
Who is this for?
Couples, small groups and societies who want a UK weekend with proper golf, a high-end hotel and a spa that keeps non-golfers just as happy.
Who is it best for?
Golfers who like a championship-feel course, plus groups who want easy motorway access and a resort that still feels like an estate escape.

Bowood Golf Resort is The PGA's Official Golf Course and Academy for the South West of England. From the medal tees, Bowood has hosted prestigious events, including PGA Challenge Tour Championships, however, Dave Thomas has installed a good range of tees to ensure that the higher handicapper will not be too daunted. The 7,309 yard, 72 par layout encompasses tricky dog-legs, water hazards and strategically positioned bunkers, which are sure to challenge even the most skilled visitors, while all are sure to enjoy the incredible surroundings.
Bowood's practice centre is the envy of many, featuring a 3-hole Academy course, putting greens and a floodlit, covered driving range, all of which are complemented by the dedicated team of fully qualified PGA professionals.
Bowood Golf Resort has been voted into the Top Ten New Courses, and Top 50 Courses in Britain by Golf World Magazine.
If you're looking for a stunning championship golf course with impressive and affordable accommodation and leisure facilities to match, Bowood Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort ticks every box. Each of the hotel's 43 luxurious rooms offers a proper night's sleep, with spacious en-suite bathrooms and every amenity you could wish for, including plasma screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. The rooms are well appointed without being stuffy, comfortable without being bland, and large enough that you're not tripping over your golf bag every time you move.
Guests can look forward to a delicious three-course dinner in the relaxed setting of the Shelburne Restaurant, with picture-perfect views of the surrounding countryside. The menu focuses on modern British favourites, and the setting is smart enough for a celebration dinner but relaxed enough that you won't feel out of place after a day on the course. For larger parties of 17 or more, dinner will be served in one of the beautifully furnished private dining rooms or the Clubhouse Brasserie, subject to availability on the evening. It's a flexible setup that works well for societies and groups who want to eat together without taking over the main restaurant.
The Spa at Bowood is the perfect place to unwind after your round, or where the non-golfers in your party can relax while you're out playing. The state-of-the-art spa includes a beautiful infinity swimming pool, full-spec gym, rock sauna, crystal steam room, aromatherapy shower, relaxation room and spa bar, as well as treatment rooms and expert therapists. It's a genuinely well-equipped spa, so it works brilliantly for couples and mixed groups where not everyone is obsessed with golf.
Take a walk around the spectacular Bowood estate or visit Bowood House & Gardens during the open season (April to October). The grounds are genuinely worth exploring, with landscaped gardens, woodland walks and enough history to add a bit of extra interest between rounds. Or, if you'd prefer to venture outside the resort, Bowood is only a short drive from many of Wiltshire's most popular attractions, including the historical city of Bath and the quintessential English village of Lacock, which is also a very popular filming location. It's the kind of location that makes a golf break feel like a proper getaway rather than just a change of course.
Bowood Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort continues to be one of our customers' highest rated UK golf resorts, and when you see the combination of championship golf, luxury facilities and estate setting, it's not hard to understand why.

A really nice hotel & spa with a nice golf course. I chose it because it was conveniently located for people travelling from the South West & South East.

Hotel overall good but evening dining experience poor - service, side dishes missed, filet steak had to be sent back. However very good remedial action - items taken off bill and complimentary drinks offered

Good hotel; could be a lot better with a more joined-up approach between departments and better staff training. Food was good, service was frantic. Golf course in summer / dry weather would be very good; after or during wet weather, best to avoid. Spa is a bit of an afterthought given the size of the hotel. Overall, a great setting, not a bad hotel, just felt a little short-changed

One of the best courses most of us have played in every way. Welcoming staff and great bar area. Tough course but in a good way as we had golfers who range from 7 handicap to 28.

A wonderful golf course in excellent condition despite the weather experienced in recent months. A lot of fairway bunkers made the course particularly hard in places.

Blessed with fabulous weather the course was in amazing condition. There were many pitch marks on some greens probably due to dry weather and neglect on players part to repair. Overall fantastic

A good course; challenging enough for lower handicap golfers but not too hard for the high handicap golfers.

All OK apart from admin error on buggies day 3. Had to involve hotel duty manager and Head of Golf to resolve. However was finally sorted

Got stuck behind 2x 4 ball matches that didn't reach a result until the 18th so very slow.

Generally a good test. Greens are well kept and mostly consistent. Course was waterlogged and annoyingly lost a few balls plugged somewhere in fairways. Rough needs thinning out; anything not on the fairway / green is almost always a lost ball. In dry weather / summer, would play very well, and take no prisoners. After prolonged rain / during winter, it’s a slog and best avoided. Apparently no management of handicaps - the course is set up for PGA competitions, yet many 4-balls ahead of us were hacking around in 4.5-5 hours, with general golfing etiquette to match - we waited a lot….great setting though, sure a 2-ball twilight, mid-week in summer would be lovely
