1 Night, 2 Rounds
Set in 270 acres of Cheshire woodland, Mottram Hall is the sort of place you book when you want proper golf by day and a genuinely relaxing hotel by night. The 18th-century Georgian country house brings the character, while the resort facilities keep the whole group happy, even if not everyone wants 36 holes.
The championship course, host of the 2013 European Senior's PGA Championship, gives you two different feels in one round. The front nine is more open and scoreable if you're driving it well, but the back nine tightens up as it runs through denser woodland. Miss a fairway and you'll quickly learn that course management beats brute force around here. If you enjoy shaping tee shots and picking the right side of the fairway rather than just swinging hard, you'll have a lot of fun.
Location-wise, it's a very easy win for a short UK break. You're around 30 minutes from Manchester and less than 15 minutes from the Peak District, so it works for a quick escape, a society weekend, or a couple of nights tagged onto a city stay. The hotel sits tucked away in the leafy village of Mottram St Andrew, with Prestbury train station just 3 miles away if you're coming by rail.
Who is this for?
Golfers planning a short UK break who want championship golf, a quality spa and an easy drive or train ride from Manchester.
Who is it best for?
Couples and small groups who like strategic, tree-lined golf and want a full resort set-up on site, with dining, leisure facilities and somewhere worth staying even after the last putt drops.

Mottram Hall’s 7,006 yard 18-hole, Par 72 Championship golf course in Cheshire, is one of a kind. The host venue for the 2013 European Senior's PGA Championship; its tree-lined fairways and subtle undulating greens, present a challenge to even the most seasoned golfer.
Set in 270 acres of Cheshire's finest parkland and located one mile from the picturesque village of Prestbury, the tricky, well-guarded greens are broken up into two contrasting circuits of nine. The front nine, with its impressive backdrop of the 18th Century Hall, gently rolls over meadowland and offers the golfer many chances to make a score. The back nine winds through rich woodland and is a much more demanding test of golf.
Thanks to a £1.5 million refurbishment, the golfing facilities are second to none. Mid game, stop at the Halfway House for well-earned refreshments and light bites before taking on the last nine holes, or head upstairs to The Claret Jug restaurant at the end of your game and enjoy a cool beer and a hearty British classic.

The hotel has 120 bedrooms split between the Georgian main house and newer wings. The vibe is boutique and cosy rather than stiff, with Sealy beds, Egyptian cotton linens and well-finished rooms that suit couples and groups. Rooms range from Classic doubles through to Suites, with options for garden views, woodland outlooks, or direct access to the grounds. The design feels warm and inviting rather than corporate, which makes a difference when you're settling in after a long day on the course.
After golf, the spa is a standout in the region. It's five-bubble rated and includes the Alfresco ThermoSpace, a heated pool, indoor Jacuzzi, outdoor hydro-pool, sauna and a solid treatment menu if you've walked 18 on tired legs. The outdoor hydro-pool is particularly good in cooler weather, and the whole spa area is designed to feel calm and restorative rather than busy or rushed. If you prefer to keep moving, there's a well-equipped gym with up to 40 instructor-led classes a week, plus tennis courts and a FIFA-accredited football pitch for anyone looking to stay active beyond the course.
Food-wise, the AA Rosette-awarded restaurants cover the full weekend brief. You can go smart with three courses in the evening, keep it classic with afternoon tea in the lounge, or just grab breakfast and lighter bites around your tee time. The menus honour British heritage while weaving in international influences, and the quality is consistent enough to keep things interesting across a multi-night stay. The private gardens are a real bonus in good weather, and the grounds are landscaped to keep that calm, spa-like feel as you move around the estate.
Mottram Hall is located in Prestbury, Cheshire, about 30 minutes south of Manchester and less than 15 minutes from the Peak District National Park. The address is Wilmslow Road, Mottram St Andrew, Prestbury, Cheshire, SK10 4QT.

A fantastic looking hotel with incredible staff. The approach to the hotel is beautiful with well kept grounds. The public areas are traditional; furniture and decor are in keeping with the style of the property. The bedroom was small and way too hot with no view. The en-suite worked but was tired. A Saturday night wedding party meant that the wait for food was over an hour which staff did explain prior to ordering and did offer a complimentary round of drinks. The staff are busy but excellent. Breakfast was excellent. I would not stay at Mottram Hall again, as there are better options at a similar price, but overall I enjoyed my stay.

The hotel was a bit dated and the room was very uncomfortable because there is no air conditioning and we found it near impossible to sleep because of the heat. There was a fan in the room but wasn’t powerful enough. Also the shower controls are dangerous. We regularly stay overnight at golf clubs but unfortunately I don’t think this hotel will be on our list for future which is a shame as we enjoyed the golf.

Check in was an issue as the hotel couldn’t find our booking, possibly took half an hour but eventually all was sorted.

Front 9 nice but not that challenging due to it being so open, back 9 complete opposite, long undulating and a very good test

Great golf course but long holes, par 3 around 180 yards. But we liked the challenge not used to so long par 3. The greens were excellent. Loved playing this course.

Very helpful staff in the pro shop, day 1 buggies were good, day 2 buggies had a ripped seat. At £40 a buggy they should be cleaner. The course needs investment, often the worst place to hit your ball was the fairway. The conditions have been tough for grounds staff, 5 heatwaves have left a lot of courses in sub par conditions but the course had a municipal feel about it. Tee boxes had taken a beating and greens which had been closed for maintenance 2 weeks earlier (not spiked but scarified) were still heavily lined. Balls often did not take the break due to staying in the lines. The course is parkland with the front 9 predominantly flat and the back 9 much more interesting, with some stunning views. The bunkers are poor. This could be a beautiful parkland course, but it would cost a lot of money to get this course up to standard. The best hole in my opinion is SI 1 the 13th, a dog leg left with undulating fairway, tempting you into a long 2nd to a uphill green, or a blind 3rd from the valley, fantastic views from the green. I would not play Mottram Hall again, unless the conditions were drastically improved.

The course was in really good condition considering all the dry weather we have had, fairways, greens, bunkers, & tees all excellent and well looked after. For some of our society the course was too long which was the only negative i can give, but overall a great weekend away in a lovely area which we all enjoyed

Saturdays round felt extremely slow, the two groups ahead were both playing multiple balls which was frustrating, we managed to get out earlier than expected on Sunday and finished in around 3 hours which was quite timely as the weather changed shortly after we’d finished.
