Hollins Hall Hotel and Country Club (1)

Perched on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, Hollins Hall trades flash for scenery and straightforward, traditional golf. Ross McMurray's 18-hole parkland course climbs gently through the landscape, favouring careful shot placement over power, especially once the wind gets moving across the higher ground. The hotel has more of a classic country club atmosphere than a modern resort feel, backed by a leisure club with pool, gym, sauna and steam room, and a bar and restaurant that suit a relaxed meal after the round.
