Golf Courses at Carden Park Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa

Nicklaus Course

The Nicklaus course, designed by the great Jack Nicklaus and his son Steve, unfolds beautifully in the stunning setting of Carden Park. The layout can stretch to 7,045 yards but even from forward tees, there's more than enough challenge even for the best players in the world.

With several ‘double option’ holes such as 7th and 15th which offer a choice of fairways from which to approach the green. The Nicklaus course offers a scenic yet strategic test of golf where position more than length is crucial.

A Longest Drive competition is recommended on the 4th, with the 16th ideal for Nearest the Pin. An average fourball can expect to complete the Nicklaus Course in around 4 ¾ hours.

A wealth of natural hazards make this a highly technical course and will test your skills throughout.

It certainly ensures a round of golf to remember.

A Longest Drive competition is ideal on the 9th hole, with the 15th proving popular for Nearest the Pin, which keeps even the flagging players competitive spirits up right until your return to the Clubhouse. An average fourball can expect to complete the Cheshire Course in 4 ½ hours.

accomodation was first class and so was the staff, the food was also excellent.. At £7.60 for a pint of beer AND £14.00 for a pot of tea for 4 our group thought that this was extremely excessive.. Also we were not told by your company that we were only getting a £30.00 food allowance for our evening meal !!!!! ... This was embarrassing as there were only 2 items available on the evening menu!!!!! ..£49.00 required for a simple steak !!!This is not what our group wanted to hear !!!!!disappointing. Also their was also a 12 % tip required although that was not compulsory..

Every aspect of the hotel and its facilities were first class. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly in all departments. The accommodation, the restaurants, particularly The Vines were of an extremely high quality and standard Both golf courses were absolutely fantastic and again the staff there were most helpful in every aspect. A great vacation and golfing experience. I tried to book this package with the hotel directly but my wife has not long partaken of the noble sport and we simply wanted to play three rounds as a 2 ball which the hotel could not guarantee. But when I used the services of this golf travel company I found them to be massively helpful and understanding of our circumstances and everything was organised to perfection. Harvey is a credit to your company and I shall most certainly use your services again. Thank you.

Bit disappointed this year.we went last year,18 people and was disappointed with the food so this year I told yourself that we want to go into the main restaurant and pick off the menu.we were told by yourself that wouldn't be a problem,and we would have a £30 tab per person to pick of the menu.when we arrived,they knew nothing about it,and said we couldn't do that.i asked to speak to the restaurant manager,and she said it was too late to do it on the Thursday,and we could only do it on the friday.also,the first night,man utd was playing,we were all looking forward to it in Morgan's bar,then told we wasn't allowed in there because there was a wedding on,so we had to watch it in another bar with no sound.we asked for sound to be turned up,and they said no.so the Thursday with the food and football was a disaster.

We had a lovely spacious Courtyard room with effective but very quiet air conditioning, which was a real bonus during the hot nights. We ate lunches in the lounge bar and golf clubhouse and had dinners in the Brasserie and The Vines Restaurant. The food was delicious in all, with good menu choices and delightful staff. The Taster Menu in The Vines was a particular highlight. We didn’t use the Spa or Gym facilities, but did do the ‘Vertigo’ experience, which was such fun and expertly supervised by Abby. All in all a most memorable stay and we plan to return next year.

The staff were very friendly and keen for us to enjoy our experience there. We played two rounds of golf and the courses are fabulous. I will definitely be visiting again.

A lovely hotel and setting. Staff are very pleasant. The rooms are spacious, but could be modernised, they need air conditioning and the bed mattress was just too firm, to the point that it was uncomfortable. The food is high quality, prices in the hotel are generally high. The setting is beautiful and there are a lot of facilities. It is misleading to think the spa is included, even upon arrival we were lead to believe this, more needs to be done to emphasise the difference between the leisure facilities and the spa. The golf package was generally well organised, however, there seemed to be a waste of a few golf companies going to the Open from the hotel, all using half empty coaches, perhaps you could have joined up. The coach provided on the 22nd was dated and not that clean. Also for changes, communication was via the App only, this could be difficult if no wifi in places. We did see the message about change in coach time on 23rd but some did not. Thank you, we enjoyed.

Thoroughly enjoyed the stay, comfortable environment, welcoming and helpful staff. Drinks prices were a little high especially when you’re a captive audience. Also - the Nicklaus course was seriously flawed (not their fault, but greens infected with fungus making them very uneven) however their offering as recompense was only to benefit them - pretty poor (ie a “2-4-1” voucher for the course requiring you to come back, stay and spend yet more money on them!?!)

The hole courses were good apart from we were a 4 ball in buggies stuck behind a 2 ball in a buggy withe probably 6 more 2 balls behind us why can’t they pair people up to 4 balls.

Lovely views from many of the tees. Playing quite long due to the length of rough and speed of greens. Probably due the amount of rainfall in previous weeks.

Chalk and Cheese, Cheshire and Nicklaus, 2 very different courses that offer something for all standards of golfers. Go off line on the Cheshire course and you're forced to take your medicine, there's no trees 90% air here, not even the sun can find gaps. The Nicklaus course is not so frightening on the tee, more parkland, but still offering a challenge for the full 18 holes, the 18th in particular, a truly magnificent finishing hole to remember any visit by.

We played the Cheshire twice during our stay , the first day was a Sunday so the course was understanderbly busy. There was signs of some drainage work on some fairways which made them harder to play off and the greens were very unpredictable and slow . However two days later we played again and the greens were so different , so much better ,maybe just needed a cut and an iron ? overall very enjoyable golf course -we will return

A five and a half hour round is never what you want.

Too much drainage work on too many holes,if we was aware of the issues on the Cheshire would have liked to play Nicklaus instead was only made aware on the tee. Offered 2-4-1 voucher for weekdays but not practical due to travel distance. Course conditions poor and too busy with 4balls for a Monday

We played the Cheshire course twice and Jack Nicklaus once. It’s very disappointing that we were not informed of the extent of the course maintenance before arrival and given the opportunity to re arrange our booking. The maintenance work also caused long delays on tees as bottlenecks of golfers built up particularly at the 6th 7th and 8th tees. This resulted in 2 x 5 1/2 hour rounds on the Cheshire course. We played 3 rounds in 3 days with 2 buggies at £36 each,2 of the buggies broke down during our rounds and had to be replaced by the course marshals There was no driving range availability between 8am and 4pm on any of the days due to a PGA tournament. Tee’s on the Cheshire course were very worn and unattended. Golf staff service was unwelcoming and they appeared visibly unhappy.

We played the day after a PGA comp, so the greens had been ironed intensely and were so much faster than the Cheshire course. A lovely course with picturesque views. Wide forgiving fairways, however the bunkers were deep, numerous, and many with a lip so clean bunker shots were required to lift the balls out. Certainly a thin bunker shot would not get you out.

Very Good
8.0

Wide fairways make this course relatively straight forward. Some ongoing drainage work left some Sand filled channels on some fairways, and as an apology they issued us with 2 for 1 vouchers as recompense. They do leave the grass around many bunkers long and whispy. Not sure why, but it seems to be a feature. Can’t say that I’m a fan of this, makes them look unkempt. The bunkers themselves had shallow sand depth, and contained many stones.

Average rating for difficulty of the course is my rating as 5 handicapper. The ladies in our party found it difficult and a v long walk. My trolley battery gave up after 16 holes. First time. Nuff said! I played this course a few years ago and thought the condition was better then. Fairways needed a cut and lacked definition. Tees needed a cut. Bunker surrounds have been left to grow out a la Pinehust. Didn’t work for me sadly. Condition of course maybe down to weather before our arrival. A lot of bunkers were GUR.
