One of the West of England’s most scenic golf hotels has completed a major series of improvements to its golf course, and has published photographs which showcase its new look.
The work recently undertaken on the 6,579 yard par 72 golf course at Tewkesbury Park has transformed not only its condition but also the level of golfing challenge and its aesthetic appearance.
One highlight is the extensive re-bunkering, which has updated the golf course to meet the challenge of the modern game.
“Modern equipment has revolutionised the way elite golfers play the game, and the level of challenge at Tewkesbury Park for the better golfer was one thing which we needed to address,” explained course designer Peter McEvoy OBE, who once made the cut at The Masters. “However, it’s also true to say that more casual golfers or higher-handicappers aren’t really seeing much of a performance benefit from all this new technology.
“So another goal with the course works at Tewkesbury Park was to be sympathetic to the playing majority. I think that the average golfer will also find our new-look golf course extremely playable, and naturally even more enjoyable than it was before.”
Patrick Jones, general manager of Tewkesbury Park, is determined to continue the recent progress made by the business. “Tewkesbury Park is now back under family ownership, and the beauty of this is that it provides a greater passion and drive to properly invest for the longer term” he said.
“Through this investment, which already exceeds £4m, our family owners have addressed every aspect of the hotel and golf experience for our guests, making the new Tewkesbury Park a true resort, and reinstating it as the iconic property it once was. Of course, none of this would be possible without the dedication and hard work of all the staff here. Through their professionalism and friendly approach, Tewkesbury Park sets itself apart from its rivals.”
