In 2011, Lee Westwood became the attached tour professional and in
the same year the Lee Westwood Colt Couse opened. But this is not
the only golf course in the resort, with the Lee Westwood Filly Course
also a fine test of golf. Opened in 2007, it is 6,000 yards in length
and is a par 70. Harry Colt – whose designs also include Wentworth,
St Georges Hill, Sunningdale and Swinley Forest among others –
designed the Colt Course and it has his touch and feel to it. While
nothing is copied directly, the rectangular tees, the bunker forms,
and the variety in par 3s are all features conceived from the distilled
themes of this most brilliant architect. Close House offers luxurious
accommodation on a large country estate spanning more than 400
acres. The famous bed and breakfast experience is one not to be
missed and a day out walking Hadrian’s Wall is a must. Regarded by many as Europe's leading
club resort, Stoke Park is located just ha
