Notts-Derby Premium Golf Break

A 4- Star resort stay combined with a premium local course to create a perfect 2 night stay

This tour extends a stay and play break at the famous Breadsall Priory, where you can play their 2 courses, Priory & Moorland, with an away day at the fantastic Hollinwell Golf Club.

Breadsall Priory itself is a leading Marriott golf resort centred around a 13th century manor, the oldest Marriott venue in the World. A 36 hole venue with two distinct courses. The Priory is a double loop championship par 70 characterised by its mature trees, lakes and distinct bunkering. Notable holes include #3 a par-3 that requires a precise tee shot over water to a well-protected green. Hole 9, a par-5, features a dogleg left with a water hazard coming into play. Perhaps the pick of the bunch is 17, a par-3 played from an elevated teeing ground to a well guarded green.

The younger of the courses is the Moorland. A heathland, early 90’s Donald Steel design which measures just over 6,000 yards from the back tees. The shorter distance makes it an enjoyable test for the casual golfer, but is technical enough to provide a good challenge to the more proficient golfer.

The pick of the tour comes in the form of Hollinwell (Notts) Golf Club, a 20 minute drive from the resort. A top 20 ranked course in England and one of the country’s leading heathland courses, in season Hollinwell is an immaculate and vibrantly colourful layout which regularly plays host to leading professional and elite amateur events, including The Brabazon Trophy a record equalling 5 times. As of 2022 the club played host to final stage open qualifying also for the 5th time, the top 4 qualifying for the 150th Open Championship at St Andrews.

It may come at a premium, but Hollinwell is bucket list and a course that all discerning golfers should tick off their list.

Top tier championship heathland course and final stage qualifying host for the 150th Open at St Andrews

Notts Golf Club (Hollinwell) in Nottinghamshire is an exceptional destination for golfers looking for a premium experience. Part of our Nottinghamshire golf package, Hollinwell offers a chance to play on one of the UK’s most respected and challenging heathland courses.

At Hollinwell, you’ll be greeted by the 7,250-yard course, known for its unique blend of beauty and difficulty, however, a 5 tee layout ensures playability for any regular golfer. Hollinwell is one of those courses where no two holes are the same, with tight, tree-lined fairways and varied terrain each hole feels very much self-contained. The standout 4th hole, with its picturesque lake and strategic bunkers, and the demanding 13th hole, surrounded by bunkers, are highlights of this heathland course.

The Hollinwell experience is not just about the challenge; it’s about immersing yourself in the game. The course is lined with heather, ferns, and gorse, adding to its distinct character and striking visuals. It was perhaps no surprise when the club was awarded the prestigious honour of hosting final stage qualifying for the 150th Open Championship. This caps a long history of hosting high-profile events including The Amateur and English Womens Amateur, Boys Amateur, English Mens Amateur, Brabazon Trophy, British Masters, PGA Matchplay and Jacques Leglise Trophy… If we’ve forgotten any there, please do tell us!

Whilst the course is renowned as a heathland it does have a moorland feel to it at times and only adds to its fast-draining characteristics. For the last decade, the club has worked through regenerating the course to its heathland roots, bringing more colour, clever bunkering and whispy rough!

Hollinwell, Notts, however you choose to refer to the club is simply one of the finest on these shores and has to be in the conversation for the title of very best inland course in the British Isles. A mist play.

The Priory is a beautifully located parkland course in secluded countryside, within the rolling Derbyshire hills

Bordered by the Peak District National Park, the venue is steeped in rich history and is the oldest Marriott in the world, dating back to 1266. There are two fantastic courses on offer at the venue including the Championship course The Priory, developed by David Cox in the 1970s, the course measures just over 6000 yards in length and plays to a par of 70.

The course poses a real challenge, with sloping fairways, elevated greens and plenty of sand traps strategically placed to swallow up any wayward shots, this is not a course where you should be automatically pulling out the driver, accuracy will be key for posting a low score and any local knowledge will be a huge advantage as parts of the course are subtlety designed to catch you out.

The location of the course is stunning and as you walk the course you will be treated to a number of fantastic panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, more so on the back 9 where the tee positions of holes 11 and 17 offer some really breathtaking views. Overall The Priory is a fantastic course in a beautiful setting, is kept in excellent condition all year round and has is just as enjoyable to play the 2nd or 3rd time.

    GSW is run by golfers and endorsed by golf professionals across the South West of the UK.

    We are a fully insured, experienced and recommended golf tour operator, who are insured by an ABTOT bond, meaning your money is secure and safe.

    We offer tours to a largely exclusive and unrivalled selection of venues across the Southwest of England and Wales, including some courses which can be tricky to access.

  • What happens if we can’t go on our planned trip?

Full deposits are non-refundable so please only commit and pay for those in the party who are definitely able to attend the trip.

     

    * Some venue restrictions apply. Terms vary depending on the venue and cancellation term booked. Phone GSW consultant can advise you of this.

  • Can we make changes to our break?

    Managing a group can be a thankless task and changes to the group leading up to your break are an accepted element. We make changes as stress free as possible (just see our reviews for evidence of this!). Changes can be made up to 6 weeks prior to your break. Some changes are unavoidable so for legitimate reasons we will endeavour to make last minute changes after this period, but as we would have paid our venues at this point, this would be at the discretion of the venue(s) you are visiting. Please note a £25 admin fee will be applied for changes inside 6 weeks.

  • Why book with a tour operator?

    Good question, could you not do this all yourself? The answer is yes you could. You are able to locate the ideal hotel with the accessibility you need to the clubs you plan to play. You could go back and forth with your target venues and line up the tee times.  You could also contact each venue individually to advise them of group number changes and requests during the build up to your trip.

    Alternatively you could;

    – Talk to us about the trip you are planning.

    – Receive quotes for perfectly crafted package meeting your ideal requirements.

    – Secure the booking with small deposits staged in a way to make your life easier as an organiser.

    – Have your funds fully insured and independently held by PTS, our client trust provider.

    – Have changes made to whole tours with just one call or email.

    – Receive exclusive extras such as free places.

    – Pay less with our packages than going direct to venues.

    Why can we do this?

    Quite simply we have spent years (since 2015) forging strong relationships with hotel, golf club and golf resort venues across the South West. We are the expert tour operator for the region and are know for our high quality and personal service to our clients (just see our Google and TrustPilot reviews).

  • Who uses Golf South West?

    The majority of our clients are UK based domestic travellers. We deal with groups of any size, from single travellers and couples, to large golf societies.

    We also are the favoured golf DMC for the South West of England and preferred regional partner of Golf Tourism England. We regularly work with tour operators from Europe, America and elsewhere to provide bespoke tour packages allowing overseas travellers to experience the beautiful West Country.

  • How are package prices displayed on our website?

    Prices on our our website are displayed in two ways. The first is on our Resort pages where pricing tables show the from prices for low, mid and high season golf stay and play package rates at golf resort venues.

    The second is on our example tour package pages. There are often 4 prices shown here, two for low season and two for high season. The struck through price typically shows the highest price the tour can be and is often active over weekends in that season. The offer price is typically a mid week price.

    Every tour quote we offer is bespoke and will vary based on a number of factors including the date, availability, group size, room type, time of day for the tee time, etc… Our package pricing is a guide to the cost of the package and is not a firm price. Please enquire for an exact cost.

    We aim to provide as accurate a price as possible and therefore try to avoid using shoulder/mid season pricing or twilight green fee rates when displaying rates. You may find an intermediate price for breaks in months of April & October at certain venues.

  • Why are golf resort prices the same as elsewhere?

    Put simply, all tour operators work from the same contracted rate card when it comes to stay and play golf resort packages. When it comes to golf tours, that is a different matter, but golf resorts are a level playing field.

    If you find a vastly different price, it’s likely you’ve been misquoted and usually this does come back to bite.

    The question this poses is why book a stay and play golf break with Golf South West if you can book direct or with one of the large operators and receive the same price?

    Benjamin Franklin once said “The bitterness of poor quality remains long after
    the sweetness of low price is forgotten.”

    We have a small team so booking through us means you receive a personal service. You are more than just a number to us, we are a tour operator where you will likely get to deal with the same contact throughout the process, who will get to know you and your group and respond efficiently to your queries.

    We know our venues and the people who work there. This ensures a smooth process from initial enquiry to the end of your stay.

    Financially you have an extra layer of protection as your money is securely stored in an independent trust account and is fully insured when it is released to the venue(s) you are visiting.

    We are fortunate to have some exclusive “extras” with selected venues across the South West. We offer 1 in 16 free on most trips AND run an exclusive credit system to reward repeat bookers.

    We often feel we add further value to our clients when it comes to our bespoke golf tour packages, but you can rest assured that when making a stay and play golf resort booking, Golf South West will offer you an extremely high level of service, financial protection and may even offer you a saving or an exclusive extra!
