About
Slaley Hall Hotel & Golf owes is existence to Samuel Hunting who first purchased the estate lands in the late 1800's and it remains today a symbol of Edwardian elegance and a grand retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

By 1990, the completed course won high acclaim and since then it has matured and undergone subtle improvements. The second championship course, the Priestman opens in May 1999.
Measuring 7088 from the championship tees, this Dave Thomas designed course incorporates forest, parkland, and moorland with an abundance of lakes and streams. The challenging par 4, 9th (52 yds) is played over water through a narrow avenue of towering trees an dense rhododendrons. An official PGA European Tour Venue an hosts he Compaq European Grand Prix.

Golfer Reviews
Excellent Day!
This was a yearly competition between friends, from the moment we stepped onto the first tee and greeted by the starter we knew it was going to be special.
He gave us some advice, it's all about course management, not big hitters, although that sometimes works.
The fairways are better than some of the greens I've played on. Truly is a great course!
Some stunning golf hes
The hunting course has some wonderful holes- the front nine in particular. The course was very quiet indeed the day I played. It was not bad value for money- though it seems to always be more expensive purchasing directly from the pro shop.
Very wet, poor greens.
2nd time I have played this year. For a championship course, the course continues to be a let down. There is a fundamental problem with the greens and they continue to be patchy and bobbly. The fairways are wet, long and muddy. The rough is boggy and unkept. The tee boxes are not level on numerous holes. The only redeeming element was the cheap price through tee off times and the course layout. The course as a whole needs some real love and attention.
