If you're searching for a golf hotel that goes beyond the fairway, Garstang Country Hotel might just be Lancashire's best-kept secret. Nestled beside the River Wyre on the edge of the charming market town of Garstang, we offer something that most golf venues simply can't: a whole country hotel experience wrapped around one of the region's most scenic 18-hole parkland courses.
Whether you're planning a solo escape, a group golf trip with friends, or even looking ahead to a wedding venue with a golf course on the doorstep, this is a destination that genuinely has it all.
Garstang Country Hotel is a dedicated golf hotel in Lancashire offering an 18-hole parkland course alongside hotel accommodation, a bistro and bar, and complete event facilities - all on one site. Guests can stay overnight, play the course on a pay-and-play basis as part of their visit, and dine at the on-site Bradbeer Bistro, making it one of the most complete golf hotel experiences in the North West.
There's a difference between staying at a hotel that happens to have a golf course and staying at a golf hotel that genuinely understands what golfers need. At Garstang Country Hotel, the two are seamlessly connected.
Guests can wake up, look out across the fairways from their room window, enjoy a hearty breakfast at the Bradbeer Bistro, and be on the first tee within minutes. No car journeys, no rushing - just a relaxed, well-paced golf break the way it should be.
Our rooms range from Classic through to Executive and Suites, each designed with comfort and space in mind. After a long day on the course, you'll want somewhere to unwind, and all our rooms deliver exactly that - golf course views included.
Garstang Country Hotel is located at Bowgreave Drive, Garstang, Lancashire, PR3 1YE — just off the A6, approximately 10 miles north of Preston and easily accessible from the M6 (Junction 33). This makes it one of the most conveniently located hotels near Preston for golfers and leisure guests travelling from across the North West.
Is Garstang Country Hotel One of the Best Hotels Near Preston?
For those searching for hotels near Preston with a difference, Garstang Country Hotel consistently stands out. While many Preston hotels sit in urban surroundings, Garstang places you in the Lancashire countryside - rolling fairways, riverside walks, and open air - while keeping you within easy reach of Preston's transport links and business districts.
It's a combination that works particularly well for corporate golf days, where clients want an impressive venue that feels special, without the logistical headache of travelling hours from the city.
Our 18-hole parkland course sits alongside the hotel. It is open to residents on a pay-and-play basis, making it one of the most accessible and enjoyable options for visiting golfers in Lancashire.
The course winds through beautifully landscaped grounds, with the River Wyre providing a stunning natural backdrop on several holes. It's challenging enough to keep experienced players engaged, but welcoming enough for those looking to enjoy a sociable round without the pressure of a members-only club environment.
For groups, a golf break here is a brilliant opportunity to combine competitive play with great food and good company - the ideal formula for a memorable trip.
