Staverton Park Hotel and Golf Course

I played Staverton Park twice in 3 days this week. It was roasting hot on Monday and the fairways were baked out and very firm. Greens were well watered and relatively slow in comparison but that was welcome. The course has some great holes and is challenging off the tee where you need to be accurate and it helps to know where you're going. The 2nd in particular requires a draw off the tee for a right hander and you can get a lot of run down the hill and reach the par 5 in 2. My only complaints would be the bunkers, and there are a lot of them, had inconsistent amounts of sand in them and were not raked by many of the other guests. The walk from the 9th green to the 10th tee is lengthy and it is a very hilly course so not an easy walk especially on a hot day. The par 3's are quite long off the back tees but not the best holes on the course. Signature hole for me would be the par 5 11th which plays dramatically downhill and a major dog leg left.

Overall good place to go , bunker a tad stoney but would go back

For £20 ( after 16:00 ) I wasn’t expecting too much but I was pleasantly surprised.

The course is an established parkland layout with some long, sweeping fairways.

I’d rate the greens 7 out of 10, bunkers 5 out of 10 ( some just needed more sand - everyone needed raking but that’s a hotel course problem )

Overall I was very happy and would recommend to anyone needing accommodation, food and drink close to a decent course.

First off the pro shop staff are friendly and the course is in good condition.

Pace of play is really slow, probably due to the fact that people keep popping up at the tee in front of you obviously cutting the course as it’s quite easy to do. Lots of single players asking to play through. Coming to the 10th tee there where two groups waiting, these were not the ones originally in front of us and were playing 9 holes off the 10th. Between coming off the 9th and hitting on the 10th tee we waited over 20minutes. Consequently by the time we got finished the bar had closed so couldn’t enjoy a nice cold beer after. I’d say just about £20 worth if you don’t mind waiting around a lot?

Nothing wrong with it. Wish you could buy 9 holes. could only buy 18.

Played in glorious sunshine on 30 April. Long, inviting fairways with some challenging approaches to greens. A lot of elevation change over the course so tiring on a hot day. Not much rough but some water hazards and small copses plus strategically placed bunkers. 18th is a signature hole with a picturesque pond in front of the green. The course doesn’t have a wow factor but it demands careful thought to navigate successfully. The greens were slow and variable. They had been spiked and sanded so perhaps with some rain and watering they will come good, though some were patchy and needed some restorative care to produce a more uniform surface.

First time playing this amazing golf course. Fairways are in grear condition. Greens very well kept and painfully quick. Fantastic overall - Will definitely be coming back!

Good course with challenging holes. Unfortunately with bad weather holes 16 and 17 were closed. Overall good.

'Golfers breakfast' in the hotel was great value at £8 and perfect way to start the day.

Course was very well maintained and staff were friendly

There hasn't been any up to date reviews to help golfers make a choice on this course, so here goes ...

To sum it up - an interesting, championship-style resort track in great condition for this time in year, at a very reasonable price (£20). You just need to accept that you will have mostly three or fourballs in front of you at weekends with it being a popular stay and play venue for trips and outings.

There are lots of elevated tees and greens which i really enjoyed and the tighter, shorter par 4s mean this is not a bombers course. You will be tested with shot shaping both left and right, having to use every club in the bag,

The biggest surprise was the condition and the price .. both were 5 stars for me.

Probably the best resort course I've played in the last 10years in the UK.

Played on 20/03/2025.

We found the layout of the course ok, some nice use of the land made for some interesting holes.

Unfortunantly, on some of the holes you are at risk of being hit by other peoples shots and they dont need to be that waywards with them.

This is supposed to be a championship standard course, unfortunantly the greens are some of the worst Ive played on, more like the quality of your local parks pitch and putt, patchy, uneven, super slow, some areas of just mud and had what looked like big patches of moss growing on them

Glad Ive played here once but wont be rushing back anytime soon.

Buggy hire was £30, a guiness cost £6.95!!!

Good course, generally good condition, some greens a bit worse for wear from winter conditions but all open. Always enjoy playing here - good parkland layout
