Abbotsley (Abbotsley Hotel, Golf & Country Club)
At 6,321-yards, the par 72 Abbotsley Golf Course is the more challenging of the two rounds on offer.

With the same high standards of conditioning as the Abbotsley course maintained, The Cromwell Course offers a more gentle but still demanding test, and is the ideal course for all standards of players staying at the Abbotsley Hotel. Despite being shorter at 6,087-yards, the Cromwell Course is perfect for beginners, and ideal for more advanced players as a tricky prerequisite before taking on the Abbotsley Course.
