Best Western Ullesthorpe Court sits in the heart of England with handy access from the M1 and M6, which makes it an easy win for a quick UK golf break. You've got a proper four-star country house base, solid leisure facilities and, most importantly, an 18-hole parkland course that asks a few questions on the way in. I'm a sucker for a strong finishing hole and the closer here is exactly that, a proper last par four that can swing the match if you get loose off the tee.
The course stretches to 6,662 yards off the back tees and plays to a par 72, weaving through mature woodland and open fairways punctuated by strategic water hazards. It's privately owned and run by a team who understand what golfers actually want: efficient check-in, a decent breakfast that sets you up for the day, and staff who know the course.
The location makes it a practical base for exploring the wider region, whether that's Bosworth Battlefield, the National Forest, or the market towns dotted across Leicestershire and Warwickshire. You're also within striking distance of other quality Midlands courses if you're planning a multi-day tour and want to mix things up.
Who is this for?
Golfers looking for a straightforward parkland round within easy reach of the Midlands motorway network, societies wanting a solid course-and-hotel package, and anyone combining golf with a spa break or regional sightseeing.
Who is it best for?
Mid-handicappers who enjoy a proper-length parkland challenge, groups wanting quality on-site facilities without the premium price tag, and visitors to the East Midlands who want golf, leisure and dining all under one roof.
