Bidford Grange has been under new ownership since October 2008.
"Set
in 230 acres of delightfully landscaped Warwickshire countryside, our 18-hole
par 72 championship length course is one of the longest and most challenging courses
in England. The course, which can measure 7,233 yards from the back tees with
a standard scratch of 74, is built like a links course. American bent grass greens
are fully irrigated with a host of water hazards on the back nine holes, with
another four running alongside the River Avon.
Perhaps the toughest tests
on the course are the mammoth 600 yard 17th, the up-hill par-four 4th and the
233 yard "short" 7th. The front nine plays like a links course due to the open
setting while the back nine poses a wholly different challenge with water coming
into play on seven of the holes. Course management accuracy and nerves of steel
are the order of the day as the holes wind their way around four large man-made
lakes and border the River Avon." |

Just got back from a great weekend at the Bidford Grange golf and country club...
We had a ball from Friday morning through to Sunday afternoon.
The golf course was really nice to play... everyone enjoyed it, although the back nine was a little tough for the higher handicappers... the condition couldn't be faulted tho, apart from a couple of bunkers here and there... but that would be nit picking to be fair.
The hotel was lovely and clean... the room was clean and neat and tidy, with tv and coffee facilities.. bathroom was clean and well kept.
The lunch was excellent, as was the breakfast, the evening meal was fine, but it is common with mass catering to have a slight drop in standards.
The staff coudn't be faulted, friendly and approachable... especially considering the late nights we had with them. The next morning they was up bright and early and still just as friendly... they worked tirelessly throught the weekend...
It's a shame we are not planning going back next year and i for 1 will be looking forward to the next time we visit Bidford Grange.
