8 - Top 50 UK & Ireland Stay and Play Stoke Park

The course at Stoke Park, known as Stoke Poges, was designed by Harry Shapland Colt and it opened for play in 1908. Just 25 miles west of Central London, it's a fine parkland track, always maintained in excellent condition. The striking white clubhouse will be well-known to film buffs. It provided the backdrop for James Bond's famous golf match against Goldfinger. The hotel features luxuriously appointed rooms, three restaurants and a Spa with 11 treatment rooms.
