Originally constructed in 1886, the Welcombe Hotel is a magnificent Jacobean-style house whose grandiose character is still very much in evidence.
The façade has not changed, and the oak-panelled lounge and four-poster suites exude extravagant grandeur, but all this is perfectly complemented by the contemporary style of the garden rooms and the spa facility.

0800 043 6644The par-70 championship golf course at the Welcombe is widely regarded to be one of the finest layouts in the West Midlands, and has been recognised as such with the award of the European Seniors Tour Ryder Event.
The course is laid out around the imposing structure of the Welcombe hotel, and the designer has made full use of the natural undulations of the land to create a course that will make talented golfers think hard, while also remaining a playable and enjoyable experience for players of all abilities. The remarkable scenery that stretches before all visitors will ensure that a golf break at the Welcombe is a memorable one.
If you have a private function, the Open Championship Suite, based in the clubhouse, can seat up to 120 guests.
The 78 en-suite bedrooms are superbly finished, and are sympathetically decorated and furnished to reflect the traditional style of the hotel itself; some rooms feature original antique pieces, while the suites are perfect for a special occasion, designed around the incredible four-poster beds. The public areas are ideal for a relaxing moment, especially on the luscious sofas that are placed next to the open fires in the lounge.
There are also 7 bright, modern apartments at The Welcombe which are perfect for golfing groups or couples looking for that bit of extra space. The apartments consist of an open-plan living space, fully functional kitchen with an oven, microwave, washing machine, dishwasher, toaster, coffee machine and kettle. Lots of storage and wardrobe space is available plus most offer a spacious shower and separate bath.
On a summer's day, the manicured Italian gardens are a beautiful spot for a stroll, and represent just part of the package that confirms how luxurious a golf and leisure break at the Welcombe can be.
The Welcombe Spa is the perfect place to relax, refresh and reinvigorate. The complex includes a level deck swimming pool with an external vitality pool, heated loungers and foot spas, while the health and beauty treatment rooms are endorsed by the Cabor brand. For the more active visitor, there is a gym with cutting edge technology and an aerobics studio.
The a la carte restaurant serves a mouth-watering menu of English and European cuisine, overlooking the stunning Italian gardens. After golf why not sit back with a drink in the golf bar and what the days sporting action unfold on Sky Sports.
Service in the bar and at night was very slow.
Lovely hotel! Even had a room upgrade to one of the apartments after we'd checked in at the GC.
Beautiful hotel and location, seemed limited on drinks in bar, food was average in restaurant
Some problems Sandwiches not available until 12 Tried to charge for third course Menu choice not very wide and little change between 2 nights We pre ordered but menu changed second night. Staff not aware we had pre paid. Tuesday lunch at golf club not available except sandwiches. One room not cleaned and when requested told no housekeeping staff available. Single charge for widow on her own was high One couple booked extra night and no discount offered for being part of this large society. Overall, there seemed to be poor communication between staff and between hotel and golf club
Room was very nice, drinks and bar food very expensive, staff very good.
A very comfortable hotel n stay. Staff were excellent and always helpful. Food was good with decent choice and nice bar area. Nice spacious room no Aircon so b hot when it's in the heat wave. Old tyle Hotel but excellent.
Clean and comfortable hotel located in an impressive stately home with lovely gardens though building looking little worn. Great views from bar and restaurant over manicured gardens and down to golf course. Course not directly accessible from hotel, you need to drive round to clubhouse.
Great location. Staff were excellent. The hotel just needs a facelift as the carpets and rooms are a little dated. Everything was clean and tidy though. The bar was small but well stocked!
A classic English manor hotel. The hotel sits in a beautiful natural surrounding with spectacular gardens. The rooms are large and very comfortable (I especially enjoyed the fantastic water pressure in the shower). You are made to feel welcome and appreciated from the moment you arrive.
The hotel itself is absolutely stunning with a real sense of history and grandeur. The rooms are spacious with fabulous views of the golf course. Nice bar & terrace with friendly attentive staff. We did not get an opportunity to use the spa facilities.
Not very clean is first point. Bar staff not good Cold food for Both dinner and breakfast. One of our meals has to be returned and exchanged
Very friendly staff. They provided a warm and welcoming atmosphere and the food was delicious
Great hotel. Only criticism was the bedroom was cold and there were no controls to adjust the temperature.
Stunning hotel, especially when you’re finishing the 16th and have a view of it in the background. Rooms are comfortable and the food was nice in the restaurants despite the bar shutting early and having limited beer options. As a hotel guest you get to use the Spa which is brilliant - a real highlight and very needed after 3 rounds of golf - jacuzzi, sauna, steam rooms etc!
The hotel and spa were great. My wife loved her spa treatment. All staff throughout were friendly and helpful. The bar is pricey both in the course and hotel £6.95 for a bottle of fruit cider.
Excellent spot for our golf break.
They appear to be very short staffed which led to slow service. As a result our dinner reservation was moved from 7pm to 8:45pm and we were then put in a conference room and forgotten.
Been to the Welcombe for our last 4 golf trips. A great venue, lots of history, good facilities. Food is good but not sure about carrot and orange soup though. Can also be a bit quiet. If you are looking for somewhere more lovely this would not be the place.
The hotel was just a pleasant place to stay full of history if you are interested. The one thing to note that the entrance to the actual hotel is not the entrance to the golf course even though it does say golf on its sign. The golf course was challenging but enjoyable. We arrived at the golf club ready for a good cooked breakfast but were informed they could only offer a bacon roll, we had a bacon roll. On finishing our round on the Monday & returning to the club house very wet & hungry, we were informed that there was no food even though we had asked before we played if there would be food available. We were told that they could make a sandwich but on return we were told that the kitchen was being cleaned. We have not visited a golf club before with no choice of food pre round & no food at all post round. Definitely worth a visit but check availability of food at the club house first if you know you are going to need some. We maybe could have gone back to the hotel but we had checked out & were very wet & cold.
Very tired, in need of refurbishment throughout, bedrooms ok , Dinning experience very poor, staff not helpful , and couldn’t raise a smile, or a good evening or good morning, would not recommend this hotel.
Lovely hotel, nice staff, good food, we were very impressed. Bar was small though, not much choice
Overall the hotel was OK drinks were expensive, rooms are tired but comfortable.
We arrived late in the day and left very early the next day, so we didn't really have chance to appreciate the experience. Excellent staff and service, though we had to queue at the bar for a while, so not sure if it was just very busy, or understaffed ? we asked for an early breakfast / sandwiches to take-out and we were assured there would be something for us, but only pastries and fruit were available
Comfortable room but long way to walk from reception area, including down two sets of stairs. We’re woken by large supply lorry reversing down road near rooms at 5.30am with beeper sounding. Also on second night, were disturbed by loud buzzing which turned out to be fire door in corridor vibrating. Otherwise, everything good.
Couldn’t fault the rooms, the staff were very pleasant and the evening meal was very nice. Overall, very good value.
We went to play golf with a one night stay. The golf course is a good challenge, and enjoyed playing it. The restaurant was good, with covid restrictions in place, it was still good, but the full breakfast was not quite the usual experience we are used to, particularly if you like buffet style. Accommodation was very good, and entirely appropriate for our short stay. Lovely building and surroundings gardens.
Excellent food, polite and helpful staff and a nice comfortable bed at the end of a long day on the golf course. I would definitely stay here again.
Huge Double Room, wonderful views over the gardens at breakfast. All the staff were fantastic and the quality to detail superb. A Grand Hotel in a beautiful setting.
Lovely old manor style hotel, with nice views etc. Clubhouse not walkable from hotel. Food was average, but facilities very good.
Staff were brilliant from the moment we checked in,the bar, restaurant and especially Spa people - always so friendly and helpful. Checked in early which was so helpful given an afternoon tee time. Very quiet in the hotel but enjoyed the bar and restaurant and evening meal very good and generous allowance from our package. Couldn't fault the hotel or its staff.
Beautiful hotel, we stayed in the older part, it was lovely but no view other than rooms opposite. However it didn't spoil our stay,the room was clean, well equipped but the bed needed a new mattress, (we did tell the hotel), it was warm, comfortable perfect for one night.
Beautiful hotel, particularly at Christmas. On a golf thing, good selection of lagers and beers. Fantastic food but small portions so you need to eat before if you are a hungry person. We had pizza at midnight as we were all starving. Good size rooms, comfy beds but the bathrooms desperately need replacing. Excellent breakfast. Not really sure what all the fuss is about with the car park barrier and the code, there is nowhere else to go.
Very comfortable and stylish.
Hotel very impressive and in lovey surroundings. Staff in restaurant very efficient. Couple of criticisms with regards to the room, the telephone didn’t work and when we told reception nothing was done, we also had no reception on mobile phones in our room! Felt it could be a little dangerous!
Stately Home. dating back to the 15th Century , very good atmosphere. Very welcoming.
The hotel is a little tired but did a good job overall.
The hotel has a stunning entrance, reception, lounge, staircase and dining room. The rooms that YGT booked for us were all excellent and in the main manor house. It would have been nice to have been provided with some bottled water as the cold tap in the bathroom ran warm all the time and perhaps a fridge/mini bar for a hotel of this standard would have been welcome. Otherwise very good, very comfortable bed. The dinner was perfectly acceptable, a choice of three starters, mains and sweets. Breakfast was a bit disappointing, we sat down to eat at 8.15, so not late, and various things had run out or were not available. The cooked buffet was OK but rather undercooked and only luke warm. But, as value for money overall with the golf break it was very well received. The staff were all very efficient and friendly.
From the moment we arrived the service was excellent.All members of staff made us feel relaxed and comfortable .The quality of the food in the restaurant and bar was first class with service to match.Our rooms where spacious and modern and serviced by friendly and efficient staff.All in All First Class
Fantastic all round. Drinks are a bit pricey would be the only negative.
Check in was efficient and friendly. Room was clean and comfortable. The food in the restaurant was very poor - my Sirloin steak was full of gristle and tough. My wife ordered Coq au vin and was served a piece of chicken wrapped in bacon unlike any Coq au vin she had cooked. Breakfast was passable although the juice was watered and weak. Altogether a disappointing result from a Hotel for which we had high hopes.
Excellent hotel in convenient location. Very clean and comfortable rooms, good food. Drinks a bit expensive as at all hotels !
The venue is great and the hotel is very atmospheric. However, the standard of the room in which we stayed left much to be desired and the overall service levels were OK but sloppy and lacking attention to detail. For example, a room booked as a twin was set up as a double, the TV remote control was intermittent, the shower screen did not sit properly on the bath and had to be wedged shut. The sink in our companions room was cracked and the final accounts presented to us were inaccurate and only corrected when challenged. These are all things that can be addressed and would have chaged a satisfactory stay into a rewarding one.
<p><br> We had a great weekend thanks - one of my playing buddies even got a hole in one on the 2nd! I’ve never seen one before, so that was a thrill.</p> <p>The tee times were actually a little bit off those that you had emailed but it wasn’t a problem as we still had plenty of time/light to finish all 3 rounds.</p> <p>The golf course was enjoyable and good fun for all abilities. It wasn’t too long but you definitely have to think about your tee shots. It was certainly easier when playing rounds 2&3 as quite a lot of the tee shots are blind and the golfer benefits from having played once before. </p> <p>The course condition was pretty good considering all the rain in the preceding week and the greens in particular were especially good for this time of year.</p> <p>We didn't stay for too long in the clubhouse after each round but it seemed nice. It’s worth noting that the golf course is a little way away from the hotel, so you have to drive to and from. The pros were very good, courteous and managed to be flexible with our tee times.</p> <p>Hotel rooms were decent. A nice touch was having Apple Macs in the room to watch TV or browse the internet at no extra charge. Free WiFi throughout the Hotel was also a bonus. </p> <p>Facilities were excellent, especially in the spa so we spent a good few hours in the various treatment areas and in the gym. </p> <p>While the food on offers was tasty, it seemed like they were trying a bit too hard, and the extra charges for some dishes were a bit on the steep side. Having said that, the setting and the hotel itself was very grand, with lots of huge reception rooms and plenty of olde-world charm. Drinks were obviously quite expensive in the bar, but that is always to be expected in a hotel.</p> <p>My overall verdict would be a very good 8/10. I don't think we've stayed in a better equipped hotel (this is our 5th annual golf trip) and although I've played more challenging courses, I think it probably suited our handicaps (8 to 28) well. </p> <p>Your Golf Travel’s service was excellent. There was no need to re-check with bookings (as I am known to do sometimes) as I felt confident all was taken care of. I would recommend you guys to friends for sure.<br></p>

Great course. Fairways were cut nicely and greens were fantastic with a sandy base.
Set in beautiful grounds with outstanding views with some telling hills this course is definitely worth playing
Course was difficult on Sunday as there was a number of blind shots. The round took 5.5 hours. On Tuesday it was better as we knew the course and the course was quiet. The buggies were expensive at £37 and there was no flexibility on price even when some were single occupancy. Overall we paid £370 over the 2 days. On Tuesday we were the only users. There was a difficulty with tee time on Tuesday. We asked for 10am but told there was a big society so had 11am. The times were changed back to 10 thanks to the help of Sam? We wanted a good lunch to finish our break but was told that there were not enough playing that day to justify a chef so we ended up with sandwiches from the hotel.
Played behind 4 older female members on 2nd day, very slow and never once rang the bells situated on the course.Enjoyed my 2 rounds overall.
Golf course in good condition green's quite firm despite recent rain. Not especially long course, but strategic. Sunday round had 3 societies, so v slow, 4hrs 45. Monday much better with v little traffic. Marshal on 1st tee helped on sun get us in a better tee time but still slow, but enjoyable course.
Very pretty course. Some crazy holes..greens perched on hills for example and 3 (?) holes where you can’t see where you are driving and sun at a marker stick.. which is always tricky because you don’t know what’s over the ridge..worth investing in a course guide first time round here. Greens in very good condition; and be sure to get a buggy.. it’s very undulating!
Superb course. Greens and teeing grounds particularly pristine. Great layout, challenging but fair. A very picturesque course too. Will definitely return
The course is in great condition. However, it has severe gradient changes throughout so I recommend hiring a buggy if you have the opportunity or you will be exhausted. For high handicappers the course is very punishing on any stray shots as the deep rough is always lurking not too far from the edge and you don't have any chance of ever finding your ball (so either hit it perfect every time or pack lots of balls). It was a great time away and I would return but it's not at the top of my list.
A challenging undulating course with natural obstacles that come into play. Beautiful setting with immaculate greens. Costly if you stray off the fairway with grass cutting in the light rough. Nicely paced round that did not feel rushed.
The rough was penal. No first cut off the fairways so you were straight into knee high grass. So many blind holes so lots of lost balls which became extremely frustrating. The two holes you show on the website certainly isnt reflective of the whole course. Very close cut fairways which led to some ‘strange’ bounces and lost balls
The course was very challenging especially the raised greens. But interesting with some lovely views and very varied terrain
Rough was too long. Lost a lot of balls. Looked like everyone had the same problem.
Great course in brilliant condition, exciting holes and challenging at times. However, the pace of play was very slow as I get the impression lots of new golfers play here - it took us just over 5 hours to complete a round on the Sunday! Still, brilliant value for money and I’d definitely go back.
The course was in good condition despite the recent rain and the greens were in good nick. It is a very hilly course with some great holes. The 12th is great. Staff were friendly and informative.
Great couple of days. Well organised by the golf club and even ordered our evening meal in advance from the pro shop. Very enjoyable.
Challening course very undulating with good greens.
It's a decent course that requires most of the clubs in your bag and you will burn calories as it's hilly. Unfortunately the round on Saturday afternoon took just under 5 hours, so we played the last 3 holes in the dark which sucked. The Sunday round was better at just over 4 hours.
Always love playing here. Course is always in good condition especially the greens. Each hole is its own unique challenge with no 2 holes the same. Some really good feature holes. Can be tiring as it is a bit hilly in places. Facilities are excellent and the staff can not do enough for you. Hence why we keep coming back.
Some very challenging holes & steep in some places but definitely worth a visit
In need of some care, greens in poor condition, tee box areas very scruffy, most of the bunkers unplayable , due to waterlogged condition, fairways ok . Very limited offer of food in the clubhouse, although all the staff were very friendly and helpful
The negative was that tee time on the Sunday was different from your golf confirmation, only 40mins but please take note. So many positives, course great, buggies good, lovely setting.
The course was first class, a wide variety of different challenges, great hole's, great views. Very good!
1st round from 14.45 took 5.25 hrs! but the 2nd round from 07.00 took just 4hrs. There was too much green to tee distance on many holes. The bar was understaffed, so there was no menu, as such, just bacon rolls, crisps and sweets. We couldn't have buggies as the clubhouse doesn't open until 8am
Lovely course but at times the semi-rough was like a hay field. Where it had been cut but the cuttings left on top, balls were very easily lost. Excellent bacon rolls on arrival and good staff. Buggies gave no problems.
Couldn’t fault the condition of the course. Not that long in length, which suited half our group, but certainly not easy, the rough was quite long in places. Some very picturesque holes though, with great variety.
Lovely course with some challenging holes. Professional shop very helpful and accommodating. If you have problems with slightly hilly courses then buggies are available (weather and ground conditions permitting).
Despite some heavy rain showers on both days that we played we thoroughly enjoyed our rounds on this beautiful golf course. It was the last week of October so we didn’t expect fast greens but we were very impressed with the overall condition, considering the rain we’ve had recently. I hope to return soon. I would recommend this venue.
The Golf Course is a nice Parkland layout with a good variation of holes, the greens ran true and the course was very tidy.
V.Good course for a weekend deal. Some lovely signature holes and good practice facilities. Greens a little bobbily but it was mid October so expected. Good overall
Given that the deal was so good our expectations weren't too high but we were very pleasantly surprised. Design of the course was great, very individual holes and some challenging greens. Given the amount of rain we've had recently the course was in good condition although starting to look autumnal with some tees a bit sticky. Overall recommended and package was unbelievably good value - thank you
We played between Christmas and New Year and the course was in good condition given all the rain we have had. Good variety of holes, 4,5,8,15 stood out but we all thought 16 was fabulous. It has a stream running down and across the fairway, similar to the 18th on the Earth course in Dubai. Your third shot is to an elevated two tier green next to the hotel gardens. Definite photo. 17 a lovely short par 4. Our main criticisms were that we played off a lot of temporary winter tee mats but there were no yardages shown which is poor for a hotel course that gets a lot of visitors. Added to this there were no yardage posts anywhere. There were 200, 150 and 100 yard discs in the fairway but they were all covered in mud,no effort had been made to make them visible. I know we live in a scope and gps world but we were a group of 8 golfers and only one of us had any kind of distance device. Call us purists but we had no idea most of the time how far we were from the green. Very poor. The whole car park barrier code and registering your car so as to avoid a fine seemed completely over the top and quite stressful as with the hotel, absolutely nowhere else to go so you couldn’t be a sneaky free parker. On the whole, nice course, worth playing.
Greens were in good condition. Some very good looking holes. A very undulating course that takes its toll on senior golfers without a buggy.
Very enjoyable
Very nice setting , interesting course , really enjoyed it.
The course was fine but no towels in the changing rooms!
A challenging course with a lot of hills and interesting green positions. The greens were an average speed, which was good, and in a good condition. The 2nd day was easier, knowing the course a little better. We weren't held up at all. The half was hut was open Sunday with a small selection of refreshments but was closed Monday, which wasn't a problem, as it was a quiet day on the course. The clubhouse staff were really good, very helpful and pleasant. The breakfast menu on arrival was ideal and the bar snack on the 2nd day were very good indeed. The Pro and his assistant couldn't have been more helpful. A very enjoyable couple of days bless with good weather!
Really nice course, which everyone in our group (12) enjoyed - interesting mix of holes, the course was in good condition considering the amount of rain in the previous 10 days. The round took four hours 10 mins walking with a trolley. Lunch was really good value for money. Very helpful staff in bar and the pro shop.
The Course is well maintained from tee to green with quite tight fairways and well bunkerd greens.We teed of on time each day with 18 holes taking about 4 hours for our 4 ball.
Great course, every hole is different. Greens could have been in better condition on some holes. This is the 4th year we have been and it never disappoints.
Some ares needed improvement ie: bunkers but a picturesque and enjoyable course
Our first round (Sunday) was very slow although we were a 2Ball in a Buggy. No call through the 4 Balls in front Next day (Monday) was very much quicker. The fairways were very well maintained and looked immaculate. The Greens were in need of water.
Big problem on second day of our Sunday Driver. Greens were being hollow tined and our groups missed out on 3 or 4 holes. These happened to also be our selected longest drive and nearest pin. Missing the holes ruined our competition which we have run as group of geographically dispersed friends for over 20 years. No prior warning and no apology or even acknowledgement from staff doing the work. Half way house also shut on the Monday. Huge shame as Sunday the course was in fantastic condition.
We liked the course but it felt a little worn around the edges and in need of some tlc. Two of our rounds were very slow and one was excellent with no hold ups at all.
