THE NOTTINGHAMSHIRE
GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB

Has opened the doors to it’s brand
new, onsite boutique hotel

I’m Savvy Magazine 6 Qtr. 4 2016 - Issue 001

The Residence at the Nottinghamshire Golf & Country Club
has opened the doors to it’s brand new, onsite boutique hotel
offering 18 beautifully appointed bedrooms ready to welcome
both golf and leisure guests alike.

Bill Mackenzie, Managing Director at The Nottinghamshire, said:
“The Residence is part of an ongoing development programme at
The Nottinghamshire Golf and Country Club which has seen the club
invest heavily both on and off the course over the past three years,
with the hotel completing the missing piece of the jigsaw.”

The stylish bedrooms have been individually designed incorporating
unique touches and bespoke furnishings to offer a luxurious stay
in the beautiful surroundings of our two 18 hole golf courses. The
opening of the Residence will make The Nottinghamshire the
county’s only 36 hole golf & hotel complex.

A true test of golf, the Championship course is set amongst a
complex waterways system bringing water into play on 14 out of the
18 holes. The signature par 3, 14th hole highlights this challenge
with those unfortunate to enter the hazard facing a walk to the
county’s only island drop zone.

Showcasing a new layout for 2016, the Signature course has been
remodelled to offer a challenging 18 holes that complements the
Championship course to provide a truly rounded experience for
golfers of all abilities. The undulating greens and strategic hazards
provide tests throughout the round culminating at the stunning par
5 island green finishing hole.

Bill added: “We have been inundated with requests for
accommodation from Business, Wedding and Golfing customers alike
for a number of years and have had to work in partnership with local
hotels to be able to offer this. Now, with the development of The
Residence, we can offer a more rounded experience to all our varying
types of guests when they visit The Nottinghamshire.”

Visitors to the complex located only 6 miles from the centre of
Nottingham in 340 acres of rolling countryside can also enjoy a
delicious meal in The Lakeview Restaurant in beautiful surroundings.
Offering a range of menus throughout week from great value
