For the first time, Luton Hoo is offering exclusive membership access to one of the longest golf courses in the UK. Surrounded by over 1,000 acres of Grade 1 listed parkland, golfers can walk in the footsteps of Queen Mary and Winston Churchill whilst enjoying breathtaking views of the stunning Mansion House and Estate.
While golf has been at Luton Hoo since the turn of the Century, the original course was destroyed during the Second World War and subsequently made into a 9-hole layout. It has now been transformed into an impressive 18-hole course providing invigorating play for all levels of ability and offering four different tees to play off.
Built amongst Capability Brown designed landscapes, the 7,107 yards par 73 course features a lake and streams which feature on six holes.
The course is sympathetic to the historical significance of the area; 1,500 oak, beech and sweet chestnut saplings have been transplanted from the Estate whilst large areas of the course have also been sown with wildflower offering a natural, rugged and open feel. The greens and tees have been constructed to USGA standards and allow for seasonal play.
Golfers and their guests can also choose to ease tired muscles, relax and rejuvenate in The Spa at Luton Hoo. Packages include the ‘par–fect day’ which includes a classic pedicure, aromatic foot bath and deep tissue massage.
An individual club membership at Luton Hoo entitles members to full use of the golf course and facilities including the gym, infinity pool, sauna and steam room, tennis courts and fitness classes. Special guest rates are also provided, in addition to unlimited golf credits and the ability to reserve tee times in advance.
A single annual membership rate costs £3,000 whilst joint membership cost £5,600 which includes VAT at 17.5%. These rates are valid until 31 March 2009.
