Windmill Village Hotel, Golf Club & Spa sits on the edge of Coventry in its own 400-acre estate and it's got a proper bit of history behind it. The original building dates back to 1640 and local legend even claims Dick Turpin once stayed here. These days, the only thing being held up is your mates on the first tee.
It works brilliantly as a no-fuss Midlands base, whether you're squeezing in a quick overnight or turning it into a weekend with golf, spa time and a decent meal. You're also well placed for a bit of non-golf itinerary, with the NEC around five minutes away and Coventry a short drive, plus easy access to Shakespeare Country and Warwick Castle if you fancy mixing in some sightseeing.
The vibe is very much "golf resort without the stiffness". You've got a refurbished hotel, two different dining options depending on how lively you want the evening to be and a leisure club that makes it easy to unwind after your round. The parkland course suits mixed-ability groups and societies looking for a sociable base where everyone can enjoy the golf without anyone getting battered.
Who is this for?
Golfers after a relaxed, no-fuss break on an accessible parkland course, with quality hotel facilities, spa and leisure options all on-site. Ideal for mixed-ability groups, societies wanting a sociable base or anyone combining golf with a visit to the Midlands.
Who is it best for?
Mid-to-high handicappers and beginners who want an enjoyable, forgiving round without the pressure of a championship test, plus groups and couples looking for a well-rounded resort experience with strong off-course amenities.
