Oulton Hall Golf Course

at Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort

Location: Leeds, West Yorkshire | Style: Parkland | Designer: Dave Thomas | Founded: 1993

Set within 300 acres of rolling Yorkshire countryside, Oulton Hall Golf Club is one of the leading golf resort destinations in the north of England. Located just outside Leeds and centred around the magnificent 18th-century Oulton Hall estate, the venue combines championship-standard golf with luxury hotel and spa facilities, making it a popular choice for golf breaks in Yorkshire.

Designed by renowned architect Dave Thomas, the golf complex features 27 holes across the Calverley, Hall, and Park loops. The main Calverley Course is the resort’s standout layout, offering tree-lined fairways, strategic bunkering, subtle elevation changes, and undulating greens that reward thoughtful course management. Mature woodland, water hazards, and sweeping views across the estate create a classic inland golf experience that appeals to both society golfers and low handicappers alike.

Signature Holes

One of the standout holes at Oulton Hall is the par-4 24th hole on the Hall Course. Played from an elevated tee, the hole offers panoramic views across the Yorkshire landscape with the hotel and nearby church spires visible in the distance.

It’s a memorable hole that perfectly captures the scenic charm of the resort.
