Crowne Plaza Harrogate

The hotel has 214 air-conditioned rooms, all designed to offer a comfortable retreat after a day on the course. Rooms are laid out with modern amenities, plenty of space to store your kit and a setup that works whether you're here solo, as a couple or as part of a larger group. The style is contemporary without being overly formal, and everything you need, from Wi-Fi to climate control, is included as standard. It's the kind of room where you can unwind properly, sort your gear for the next day and get a decent night's sleep before an early tee time.

Facilities extend beyond the room. The fitness centre is well equipped and open to all guests, offering a solid range of equipment if you want to stretch out tight shoulders or work on your core between rounds. There's also ample meeting and event space, which makes the hotel a popular choice for golf societies looking to combine their trip with a presentation dinner or captain's evening. The staff are used to handling golfers' schedules, whether that's an early breakfast before a 7am start or a late check-in after a long day on the course.

Dining is handled across two venues. Springs Bar is the more relaxed option, open from 10am and serving food and drinks throughout the day and into the evening. It's the kind of space where you can grab a quick breakfast before an early tee time, a casual lunch on your return or a pint and a burger while recounting the day's highlights. Springs Restaurant offers a more formal setting if you want to keep things easy on site, with a menu that covers the bases and a layout that works well for groups. Both venues cater well to societies, and the kitchen is used to handling golfers' timings, whether that's an early start or a late finish.

Parking is generous, with space for 150 cars and two electric vehicle charging points, a practical touch if you're driving up from further south or planning a multi-venue tour across Yorkshire. The location also means you can leave the car behind in the evening and walk into town for dinner, drinks or a wander around Harrogate's shops and cafés. It's a setup that works particularly well for groups who want the flexibility to split up after golf, some heading out, others staying in, without needing to coordinate transport or worry about designated drivers.
