The Wiltshire Hotel, Golf & Leisure Resort

Set in 180 acres of rolling Wiltshire countryside, The Wiltshire Hotel, Golf & Leisure Resort sits just 10 minutes from Swindon town centre and about 40 minutes from Bath and Bristol. You get that proper countryside switch-off, but you're still close enough for a bit of town life if your group fancies it.

On site you have 27 mature holes split across an 18-hole course and a 9-hole option, so it works well for weekend breaks where some want 36 and others prefer something shorter. Expect a classic parkland feel with tree-lined fairways, a few water hazards that make you think and greens that favour a tidy iron game.

Off the course, the leisure facilities are a genuine plus rather than an afterthought. There's an 18-metre pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi for post-round recovery, plus a gym if you like to keep moving between rounds. If you're travelling with a non-golfer, or you simply want to lean into the relaxation side of a UK break, the on-site spa and treatment rooms add a nice bit of comfort to the stay.

The Grey Heron restaurant covers breakfast, lunch and dinner with a classic British menu and locally sourced ingredients where possible. Most rates include a full English breakfast, which is exactly what you want before a big day on the course. Afternoon tea is also available if you fancy something more relaxed, especially for mixed groups where not everyone wants to default to the bar after golf.

Who is this for?
Golfers looking for a straightforward UK break that combines decent parkland golf with strong leisure facilities, all within easy reach of Swindon, Bath and Bristol.

Who is it best for?
Mid-handicap groups, societies and couples who want a relaxed base with multiple rounds on-site, plus the option to unwind in a proper spa and pool rather than just the 19th hole.

Wiltshire Hotel, Golf & Country Club

Measuring at slightly over 6,200 yards, the fantastic 18-hole Lakes Course was originally designed by the renowned course architect Peter Alliss. With water features prominent on 13 holes on the course - accuracy is key during your round. Since the courses inception in 1991 it has matured beautifully into a challenging yet fair course, providing a great challenge for golfers of all abilities.

In addition to the Lakes Course is the 3,300 yard Garden course, this 9 hole course has a wide range of different teeing options meaning the holes can be in many different ways

Be sure to make a pit stop in the halfway hut, offering a great selection of food and beverages, conveniently located at the halfway point of the Lakes Course and the end of the Garden!

Accommodation at The Wiltshire Hotel, Golf & Leisure Resort

The Wiltshire offers 58 bedrooms across twins, doubles and suites, with many looking out over the golf course and surrounding countryside. If you like checking the weather before you head out, those fairway views are a decent perk first thing in the morning.

Rooms are comfortably traditional rather than flashy, and set up well for golfers. Expect free WiFi, tea and coffee facilities, large flat-screen TVs and en suite bathrooms. If you're staying a few nights, or travelling as a couple, the suites are worth a look for the extra space. Décor is traditional country-hotel style, comfortable rather than cutting-edge, and the beds are good quality, which matters more than most golfers admit after a long day on your feet.

For downtime, the leisure centre gives you more than just a quick dip. The 18-metre pool is ideal for an easy loosen-up after your round, and the sauna, steam room and jacuzzi are a real recovery combo if you're playing back-to-back days. There's also a fully equipped gym for anyone who likes to keep their routine ticking over. If I'm honest, the pool and spa are a big part of the appeal here if you're playing two days on the bounce.

The Wiltshire Leisure Suite and Beauty Spa features two treatment rooms offering a wide range of massages, facials and body treatments using quality products. Treatments are available if you want to ease off any post-round stiffness, and the therapists can tailor sessions to focus on golf-related aches in your back, shoulders or legs. It's a nice option if you've overdone it on the range or simply fancy something more relaxing than another round.

The Grey Heron restaurant is the main dining option and it does the job well. The menu is classic British, leaning on local suppliers for meat, vegetables and dairy, and the kitchen turns out reliable, well-cooked dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast is included in most golf packages and it's a full English done properly, with locally sourced bacon, sausages and eggs. The kind that sets you up for 36 holes if needed.

Lunch is lighter, sandwiches and salads mostly, ideal if you're playing 36 and need something quick between rounds. Dinner steps up with mains like steaks, fish and seasonal game, plus a decent wine list if you're celebrating a win or drowning your sorrows after a bad back nine.

The afternoon tea menu is worth mentioning, particularly if you're staying with non-golfers or want something a bit more civilised than another pint. It's traditional in style, finger sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam and a selection of cakes, all served in the lounge overlooking the course. It's a good way to recap the round with your group, especially if someone's finally broken 80 or you've won a few quid in the four-ball.

A very average hotel although all the staff were friendly and helpful where they could be. Rooms do not have aircon, which is a big issue these days at this time of year especially. Food was pretty good.

The hotel seemed a little tired. We got the impression that it had maybe just changed hands. There seemed to be a shortage of staff but a multitude of 'management', who seemed to be checking everything everywhere but helping very little. The rooms were comfortable enough, clean and quite spacious. The shower worked well. Despite the disappointment of my first taste in the restaurant (very obviously packeted 'soup of the day'), the rest of the food was delicious and well-presented. The breakfast was again varied and tasty, although it always seemed like the staff were never ready for the guests in the morning. The Spa was well-equipped but.........when you have a nice pool whose heating isn't working and a non-functioning jacuzzi, it's a case of what might have been. The young, 'hands-on' staff we chatted to were very friendly and helpful despite what seemed like them being constantly watched by a myriad of managers/owners! Still an enjoyable stay. With an excellent golf course as part of this complex, the new? owners have a real opportunity to invest in freshening up the hotel itself and making it a first class resort. Come on guys.......don't miss the chance!!

The design of the course in my opinion is great .We enjoyed the layout with 17/18 being a bit of a card wrecker as we had not played before.The Greens are ruined! it was a bit of shock to see them.Even with the weather we are experiencing.If we had just paid a green fee I would have walked off the course and asked for my money back.As it was we were on a deal and travelling on to Bath the next day .So we stuck to it and enjoyed the course.we did ask about the state of it the Gent on the desk said they were working on them.Didnt see a green staff all two day's.I can't recommend playing there that state it is in.

Poor
2.0

The Lakes course was in an unacceptable condition. It had not been curated or cared about for a very long time. “Greens” were mostly brown and impossible to putt consistently or accurately on. There was more than a couple that were unfair because of the roll caused by totally parched greens. All the bunkers were unplayable - no sand, or sand which had not been raked for a very long time. Our group played them all as GUR. Fairways were dry (understandable) but caused many bad bounces and unstoppable roll into rough because of lack of previous care and attention prior to the dry spell. The rough was overly punishable - far too thick, long and dense. This is not necessary for average mid to high handicap golfers. I will not play this course again as I do not believe it is fair to my bracket of golfer (handicap 8 - 18). It’s a shame as it could be (with a lot of TLC) a lovely course. It was designed by Peter Aliss, I understand. If the great man were alive now he would be unbelievably embarrassed to have his name associated with the course, in my view.

Greens were well kept and quick. Fairways ok but not great but this was expected as it is a typical pay and play course. Bunkers awful, very very poor. Signage on each tee badly faded and peeling paint, halfway house not open. Pro shop out of use while being renovated.

Unlike the hotel, the course was in lovely condition! Lush, well-cut fairways; some well-placed bunkers and water hazards and some tricky, undulating and fast greens, which were in great condition and consistent. We played 3 rounds as part of a golf break and all agreed that it was the sort of course that we could really enjoy being members of.
