Telford Golf and Spa Hotel

Telford, Shropshire

This magnificent hotel, which sits within an historic site, has recently undergone a £10 million overhaul

The hotel resides in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ironbridge Gorge and overlooks the gorge itself. In 1779, the great innovator Abraham Darby finished his iron bridge, connecting the industrial town of Broseley with the smaller mining town of Madeley and the blast furnace at Coalbrookdale. The first ever bridge of its kind to be constructed, Darby's iron bridge is a masterpiece of the industrial age, and a monument to the industry that began there.

You can gaze at the excellent view from the 1779 Restaurant, while you feast on dishes made with seasonal ingredients. Or from your stunningly contemporary suite, with its remote controlled super-comfy bed, LCD TV, stylish décor and fabulous bathroom.. And you can walk amongst the great surroundings as you wander the 170 acres of idyllic grounds, or play a round of golf on the exceptional course with its notable suspended water table greens.

The Golf Course

6741 yards of dyed in the wool Championship course are what you get here. Built by renowned architects John Harris and Brian Griffiths, you know it'll be a course par excellence. 170 acres of tree-lined attractive parkland, encompasses some strategically placed water hazards and tree-lined fairways. It's not a Championship course for nothing.

The 8th hole is one of the most picturesque on the golf course.  But don't be fooled. From the competition tee lies ahead a 382 yard par 4.  Sound easy?  The hole starts with a drive ideally placed up to 250 yards which needs to be landed to perfection to miss the two fairway bunkers. Think you're man enough…until you hear there's a pond with a beautiful mature oak tree cunningly placed to test your approach!

• 18- hole course set in 170 acres of tree-lined attractive parkland
• 6741 yard Championship course

The undulating greens are laid on a suspended water table system, the same as Augusta, home of the US Masters.
