Garstang Hotel & Golf Club
Set on the banks of the Rivers Wyre and Calder in Lancashire, Garstang is a Richard Bradbeer parkland course that rewards course management over brute force. The fairways wind through mature woodland and open pasture, and while the opening holes offer genuine birdie chances if you find the short grass, the back nine tightens considerably. The par 4s coming home demand accuracy off the tee and smart approach play, particularly when the wind picks up across the river.
You'll hear the same advice from members again and again: make your score early. The front nine gives you chances if you keep it in play, but the course asks tougher questions as you head for home. What I like is that it feels like proper, traditional golf. You're plotting your way round, choosing clubs carefully and trying to leave yourself the right side of the pins. Miss the fairway and you'll often be playing from awkward angles, then you're relying on touch around the greens to save par.
The course sits within a family estate that has been in the hands of the same owners for over 200 years, so there's a genuine sense of heritage and continuity to the place. The layout isn't long by modern standards, but it asks questions, particularly around the greens, where subtle breaks and firm surfaces when it's dry mean distance control matters. If you're the type of golfer who enjoys plotting your way round rather than overpowering a course, Garstang will suit you well. Include it on your next Lancashire golf break and you'll come away feeling you've had to earn every birdie.

Garstang Golf Club
The course is playable all year round thanks to its excellent drainage and layout. The greens are amongst the finest of Preston and Lancashire golf clubs, prepared to competition standards. This high quality has positioned the facility as one of the most popular pay-and-play courses in the region.
The natural hazards that the designer has utilised make the course feel mature, despite its relative youth. The signature hole is the par-3 seventh, where finding the green is a daunting proposition, as the putting surface is guarded tightly by a stream at the front.
Accommodation at Garstang Hotel & Golf Club
Garstang is a family-run estate and it shows in the feel of the place. The same owners have held the land for over 200 years, and there's a warmth to the welcome that's hard to fake. If you're used to big, uniform hotel chains, this is the opposite. Service is personal and staff tend to remember what you're here for.
There are 32 bedrooms, all comfortable and well kept, ideal for a one-night golf stopover or a longer weekend. Rooms have the essentials you want after 18 holes: a good bed, a quiet setting and enough space to unpack without living out of a golf bag. If it's a special occasion, ask about the upgraded rooms with four-poster beds. They're a nice touch for anniversaries, birthdays or a "we don't do this often" kind of trip.
Step outside and you're straight into Lancashire countryside. Views are of fields, trees and the river valley, so it's an easy place to switch off once you've finished your round. The atmosphere is relaxed rather than formal, which suits golf groups who want an easy base and a comfortable bar for the post-round chat.
The Kingfisher Restaurant is the main dining room and it takes the food seriously. The kitchen works with locally sourced produce where available, so you'll often see seasonal specials and classic British dishes done well, with generous portions and a focus on flavour rather than fuss. It's the kind of cooking that works perfectly after 18 holes, hearty and satisfying without being overly complicated.
For something more casual, the Bradbeer Bar serves lighter bites and snacks throughout the day. Handy for a sandwich at lunch, then a pint after the round, or settling in for the evening with your group. The bar has a proper clubhouse feel to it, friendly and unpretentious, and it's where you'll find the members and visitors mixing easily. Whether you're planning a quick overnight or a longer stay, Garstang offers the kind of straightforward, genuine hospitality that makes a golf break feel properly relaxing.
If you'd like to build Garstang into a UK golf break with tee times and accommodation sorted, get in touch and we'll tailor the trip around your dates and group size.

Course looked very tatty. The course needs a bit of TLC. No Tee box markers or markers on the course. Not good that the course is not on England golf as we couldn't use the handicap system.

Whilst we were supposed to be booked on for a round of golf on the Sunday and Monday, if we hadn’t enquired about a buggy for for the Monday while paying for the buggy on the Sunday, we would not have known that we had not been allocated any times for the Monday. Fortunately there were times available but not the ones that we were supposed to have been playing.

We've been the this course a few years in a row now, it's always in great condition and great value for money. There is a practice green however no practice nets. The only downside is due to the location the course is very windy, it makes what I'd say is an easyish course more challenging to play.
