Hawkstone Park Golf Club – Hawkstone Course

This is where Sandy Lyle was brought up golfing-wise (his father was club pro) and nowadays it’s the home of two contrasting courses – the Hawkstone is a traditional parkland track while the longer, modern Championship is an American-style layout with plenty of sand and water to negotiate. Try and make time too to play the wonderful par-3 course.

There is a wonderful contrast between the two courses at Hawkstone Park Golf Club - the Hawkstone golf course which opened in 1920 is very traditional in design, compared to the more recent Championship golf course, which is very modern with a distinctly American flavour. Both golf courses are fair and rewarding to play for golfers of all standards with the emphasis on strategic play rather than length. 

A six-hole Academy golf course provides a great opportunity for a quick warm-up round and is complemented by a range of off-course practice facilities including a 12-bay range and two large putting greens.

The purpose-built golf centre has a restaurant with balcony seating, which overlooks both finishing holes of each 18-hole golf course.

• 3.5 out of 5 hawkstone course 03 February 2009

  I have been a member at Hawkstone for about five years.  In 2008, the Hawkstone course was probably in the best condition of my time as a member.  Both courses get hammered with the large number of visitors but the Hawstone course was in good condition all year.   I find the clubhouse a bit corporate and, when playing with friends prefer to use the excellent local pubs.   A members snug bar would be appreciated.   Unfortunately, the greenkeepling staff seem to be spending most of their time on the Hawkstone course (see my review of the 'Championship' course

  I played the open in June this year, and was very disappointed in the quality of the tees and greens , the greens seem to be in very poor condition. the layout is interesting with some very well designed holes. But I walked away with a poor impression. Happy to be told different.
