Hot golf deals at Carden Park this winter

Winter may be just around the corner but golfers can enjoy some hot deals at Carden Park, near Chester.

The luxury four-star resort is launching its popular ‘Winter Warmer’ package – with the chance to play a round of golf on one of its two championship courses, with tea, coffee and bacon rolls included, for just £25.00 per person Monday to Friday (£35.00 at weekends).

The special offer runs from October 1st to March 31st, 2011 and is one of a number of incentives designed to give golfers a warm glow despite falling temperatures.

Golf societies, companies and other groups can benefit from a pledge by Carden Park to absorb the VAT increase from 17.5% to 20% that comes into place on January 4 for any 2011 golf events.

“With 2.5% saved on the total bill, that could represent hundreds of pounds for golf societies or companies who aren’t vat registered,” says Karen Proctor, golf business manager at Carden Park.

Carden Park is also offering ‘one in 16 places free’ on particular 2011 residential golf packages booked before October 31st. Prices are starting from just £99 per person, including dinner, overnight accommodation, full English breakfast and two rounds of golf.

Situated within a breathtaking 1,000 acre country estate, Carden Park boasts two stunning championship courses, a driving range with 13 covered and eight uncovered bays and head professional Steve Priest available for personal tuition.

The Nicklaus Course, designed by the great Jack Nicklaus and his son Steve, unfolds beautifully in the stunning setting. The layout can stretch to 7,045 yards, but even from forward tees there’s more than enough challenge for the best players. His course is a “thinking man’s course”, with the emphasis firmly on strategy; and double option fairways offering golfers a real dilemma.

The resort also boasts the 6,824 yard, par 72 Cheshire Course, which hikes through the wooded fells behind the club’s recently refurbished clubhouse.

Carden Park’s hotel boasts 196 luxury bedrooms and suites, award winning restaurants and a sumptuous spa where tired or aching muscles can quickly be revived.
