1 Night, 2 Rounds
Donnington Grove Hotel and Golf Club offers an excellent parkland layout was designed by Dave Thomas, the esteemed golf course architect and former Ryder Cup player. His trademark can be seen on many of the United Kingdom's top courses, most notably the Brabazon at the Belfry, which helps to explain why Donnington Grove is held in such high regard.
Located in Berkshire, 30 minutes from Reading, Donnington Grove is set on a 500 acre estate known for its peaceful setting. Donnington Castle overlooks the 18 hole championship course, which is visually stunning with wide but undulating fairways. This par 72 course offers a challenge for all ability of golfer.

At over 7,100 yards from the championship markers, the course represents a stern test for even the most skilled golfers, but the choice of tees ensures that it is playable for everyone. The lush fairways reflect the sweeping undulations of the landscape, while the higher points allow for superb panoramic views across the surrounding countryside.
The front nine spans the higher ground and is relatively exposed, while golfers will have to negotiate the woodland and water of the exacting closing stretch. The entertaining and demanding course has staged two PGA Europro Tour events, and is a certain highlight during a golf break at Donnington Grove.
In addition to the golf course, there is also a Golf Academy managed by the world renowned instructor, Jonathan Yarwood. The Academy will provide lessons within the exclusive facilities, which includes an in-door academy room, fitted with the latest videoing and viewing technology and the new academy tee, chipping and putting green areas located at the far end of the range.
Donnington Grove prides itself on the condition of its putting surfaces, and manages to avoid switching to temporary greens in the winter months.
Originally designed by John Chute, the striking Gothic construction that now houses Donnington Grove's hotel was completed in 1772. With this legacy, the hotel with its 3* AA rating is now abundant in history and character, making it a most interesting destination for your next golf break.
While the overriding style may be traditional, and the accommodation intimate, the 24 guest bedrooms all benefit from modern amenities like satellite television. The hotel is decorated and furnished harmoniously, with period features ensuring that the mansion house's history is not forgotten. Unwind in the beautifully manicured gardens, and enjoy this delightful rural golfing retreat.
Adjacent to the hotel there is the self contained Summer House which is a great for group bookings. The Summer house has 6 twin rooms with a communal area, it's own parking and a private terrace.
Within Donnington Grove's estate winds the River Lambourn which is well-stocked with both Rainbow and Brown Trout. If relaxing in the sauna does not appeal, the more adventurous visitors can try their hand at clay pigeon shooting.
Donnington Grove's sublime restaurant serves a wide range of European-style creations.
The Members' Bar and the Lounge Bar both offer golfers and their comrades a comfortable place to relax with a drink or a snack.

We were not put inside the hotel, the rooms were in out buildings like dorms, tiny beds. Food terrible. Golf course likely good in the summer but not a winter course doesn't take the rain well. Buggies needed as long walks between holes. Staff were good everyone very pleasant.

We stayed one night in a Lake View room (No.7) which was a disabled room and not requested. The bathroom needed attention. Leaking shower rail and all the chrome fittings were very rusty, so not impressed. Otherwise room was clean and tidy but looking tired. Staff were excellent although restaurant service a bit slow.

Course lies either side of A34 so some walking between holes but didn’t feel too disturbed. Good tee options and better than average fairway, bunker and green condition. Good parkland course although holes not as isolated as some of the best.

The course was perfect for us, we had two great rounds with a lovely setting and great views. The course is very long and there is a lot of walking between some holes but very manageable, if you would struggle, I would suggest a buggy. Definitely recommend playing!
