Donnington Valley Golf Club is a rare gem in the golfing world! A privately owned course and clubhouse that sits majestically in the rolling Berkshire countryside. Just 1 hour from central London and with easy access to the M4, the location couldn’t better.

As soon as you pull into the winding driveway and up through the course you feel a sense of history before you. The Victorian Grade II listed clubhouse perches at the top of the driveway and looks down over the immaculate 9th and 18th greens. The parkland course is covered with trees that have stood the test of time and seen many a golfer fall victim to the twists and turns of the rolling fairways. A challenging yet friendly course to all who play at Donnington Valley Golf Club, it provides enough of a challenge to a seasoned professional while at the same time allows beginners to learn the ropes.

The coveted ‘19th hole’ takes the form of the informal Spike Bar and allows golfers to relax, eat, drink and swap stories of the previous 18 holes. Private dining and meeting rooms are available for groups wanting to dine together in privacy or provide the perfect setup for society days and weekends.

The award winning 4 star deluxe, Donnington Valley Hotel & Spa is located within the grounds of the golf course. The 6353 yard course winds around the hotel and provides a beautiful backdrop to the luxurious 111 contemporary bedrooms. The health club and spa is one of the most highly regarded in the country with an 18m swimming pool, sauna, steam room, health club and seven indulgent treatment suites.

With all these facilities on your doorstep, there are many reasons to visit Donnington Valley whether you are a golf society, a group of friends or why not combine your golf breaks with some relaxation in the spa!

Why visit Donnington Valley for a golf break?

• A stunning and Privately Owned 18 Hole Parkland Golf Course
The Course is set in beautiful rolling countryside, and provides a challenging 6353 yards, 18 hole, par 71 from the back tees. Although some of the holes are quite forgiving the closing four holes are regarded as one of the toughest finishes in the country.

Golf Today describe the course; ‘Donnington Valley is a mix of terrain that never bores with each hole having its own unique identity. There are deceptively short par fours, very long par fives and stunning par threes, all with character and an abundance of dips, hollows, banks, ridges, woodland and water just to make it interesting. Each hole really does require very careful consideration before teeing off to ensure correct club selection and strategy. Despite looking like a sleeping cat this course is in fact a slumbering lion challenging you to try and tame it.’
