Hawkstone
Park - SHROPSHIRE
The Hawkstone course which was opened in 1920 and built around the
12th Century Redcastle, meanders through some of the most dramatic
landscape in England. The course is a traditional parkland design
with fairways lined with Oak and Birch renowned for its spectacular
views. The course underwent some alterations suggested by James Braid
in the late 1920s; and has remained largely unchanged since that time.
The Hawkstone course
When Brian Hugget, former Ryder Cup Captain designed this course he
blended the Shropshire countryside into a creation that combines both
traditional and modern golf course architecture. This course has many
Americanisms including oval tees, fairways with mounds, and greens
that are large and gently undulating. A challenging but fair test
of golf for all.
The Windmill course
The Academy course, originally part of the Weston Course has been
developed into a challenging 6 hole par 3 course and is ideal for
beginners and intermediate golfers.

Few venues can rival the attractions of Hawkstone Park Hotel. Situated
in acres of outstanding natural beauty it is the obvious choice of
those who wish to combine beautiful surroundings, intimate service
and wonderful food from a team renowned for its pursuit of excellence.
The 66 bedroom hotel is a chip shot from its three superb golf courses
and is steeped in history. It was built as an elegant and spacious
hostelry in 1790, to cater for visitors to one of Britain's first
18th Century Parks, Hawkstone Park & Follies, now designated by
English Heritage as a Grade I listed landscape.
The estate today provides conference & banqueting facilities for
up to 200 people, a contemporary golf centre that creates an ideal
central point for golf days plus the award winning Follies, recently
voted `Adventure of the Year’ by the Good Britain Guide 2003
