The Admirals Course, formerly known as the Masters, is the jewel in Oakmere’s crown and a true test of nerve and skill. This 18-hole championship layout will make you think your way around, with strategically placed hazards demanding careful course management.
The course weaves through mature woodland and opens into heathland stretches where punishing heather awaits any errant shot. You’ll remember its slick, tricky greens and the sense of satisfaction that comes from navigating its challenges, particularly the formidable 4th hole, a long par-4 that requires two exceptional shots to find the green in regulation.

The Commanders Course offers a friendlier but no less engaging experience. Originally a 9-hole layout, it has been thoughtfully extended to a full 18 holes using 18 separate tees to 9 greens, creating a course with a distinct and enjoyable personality. It is slightly shorter than the Admirals but shares its beautiful heathland and woodland setting.
The layout is perfect for those looking to build confidence, warm up for a bigger challenge, or simply enjoy a fun, sociable round with friends. It’s a fantastic complement to the main course, ensuring a visit to Oakmere can be tailored to any golfer’s preference.
An excellent introductory Par 3 course that accommodates golfers of every skill level. Perfect for beginners to grasp the basics of the game, especially when receiving instruction. Additionally, it's suitable for seasoned golfers looking to refine their short game abilities. The course is crafted and constructed across heathland terrain, featuring shots over heather in certain areas. With holes varying from 70 yards to 165 yards, it caters to all types of shot-making skills.
If you want to sharpen your game before you play, the facilities at Oakmere are second to none. The club is home to an outstanding floodlit driving range, where every bay is equipped with advanced Toptracer ball-tracking technology. This allows you to receive instant feedback on every shot, play virtual courses, and compete in fun games. It transforms a simple practice session into an interactive and genuinely useful experience. In addition to the range, there are putting and chipping greens available, allowing you to fine-tune every aspect of your short game.
After your round, the welcoming atmosphere of The Oakmere Clubhouse is the perfect place to relax and reflect on your game. The clubhouse has a modern, comfortable feel and serves a delicious selection of freshly prepared food and drinks throughout the day. You can grab a hearty breakfast before you tee off or settle down for a satisfying meal and a drink with your group afterwards. With views across the course, it’s a wonderful spot to watch fellow golfers finish their rounds and soak up the friendly club environment.
If you want to stay right on site, The Farmhouse is a newly renovated, self-catering base that suits golf groups who'd rather spend their time talking tee shots than juggling taxi times. It sleeps up to eight across three bedrooms, with four double beds, which makes it a strong option for a society weekend or a couple of foursomes sharing.
Inside, there's a large, cosy living room with a log-burning fire, ideal for post-round scorecards and a well-earned drink. The kitchen is well equipped for self-catering, whether you're keeping it simple with bacon rolls before the first tee time or putting together a group dinner.
Bedroom-wise, you've got three rooms in total, including a master bedroom with two double beds and an ensuite bathroom. The other two bedrooms share a second family bathroom, so mornings stay straightforward even with a full house. The layout works well for groups who want their own space but also plenty of communal areas for the inevitable post-round analysis.
Outside, there's a large private garden for a bit of fresh air between rounds, plus a private driveway with space for two cars. If you're travelling with more vehicles, it's worth checking overflow parking options when you book so the whole group arrives without any hassle.
The real advantage of The Farmhouse is the convenience. You're staying on the same estate where you're playing, which means no early-morning drives to make tee times and no waiting around for taxis after your round. You can walk straight from breakfast to the first tee, and if someone fancies a quick practice session on the Toptracer range or a blast round the Captains in the evening, it's all right there.
For groups organising a Nottinghamshire golf break, having accommodation and golf in one place takes a lot of the stress out of planning. You can focus on the golf, the banter and making the most of your time away, rather than coordinating logistics across multiple venues.
