Following significant recent investment across the estate, Rockliffe Hall is entering into an exciting new era as it strengthens its position among the UK’s leading luxury golf resorts.
The five-star destination in the beautiful north-east countryside is undergoing a multi-million-pound transformation that will see the resort reemerge in 2026 as a world-class, gastronomy-focused luxury hotel and golf destination.
At the heart of the investment is the restoration of the resort’s historic Grade II-listed Old Hall alongside the launch of ATLAS James & Maria Close, a new global culinary concept that will further elevate the resort’s already outstanding food offering.
ELEVATED CHAMPIONSHIP GOLF
Set within rolling parkland countryside, Rockliffe Hall’s 18-hole championship course has long been recognised as one of the region’s premier golfing destinations.
Designed by Hawtree, the world-renowned course architects, the layout blends seamlessly into the natural landscape, with each hole offering a distinctive challenge.
Recent investment has further enhanced the playing experience. A major bunker renovation project, which is set for completion later in 2026, has refreshed the course’s strategic character, while new machinery and continued investment in the greenkeeping team are ensuring exceptional course conditioning throughout the year.
At Rockliffe Hall, every round is played exactly as it was intended. Extensive drainage means there are no temporary greens or tees, allowing golfers to enjoy championship conditions in every season.
The course’s USGA-specification creeping bent grass greens provide consistent, high-quality putting surfaces, while five tee positions on every hole allow players of all abilities to tailor the challenge to suit their game.
From the gold tees, the course stretches to an impressive 7,879 yards, making it one of the longest courses in the UK and a true test for those looking to challenge themselves.
WORLD-CLASS PRACTICE FACILITIES
Preparation is just as enjoyable as the round itself at Rockliffe Hall.
The resort’s driving range features TrackMan’s industry-leading, ball-tracking technology, delivering a data-rich practice experience across eight covered bays.
Combined with dedicated practice greens and short game areas, golfers have everything they need to fine-tune their game or warm up their swing before stepping onto the first tee.
The knowledgeable golf team of PGA Professionals are always on hand to provide advice, coaching or insight into the nuances of the course.
SERVICE THAT SETS THE STANDARD
What truly distinguishes Rockliffe Hall is the experience beyond the fairways.
Operational excellence is embedded throughout the golf offering, with the resort’s standards of service recognised through 59club accreditation.
From seamless tee time organisation to attentive support both on and off the course, every detail is designed to ensure a smooth and memorable day of golf for members, guests and visitors.
The resort is also recognised as one of the north’s leading venues for corporate golf days and societies, where championship golf is complemented by exceptional hospitality and organisation.
MUCH MORE THAN A ROUND
Of course, golf is only one part of the memorable Rockliffe Hall experience.
Where championship golf meets five-star luxury, the resort offers elegant accommodation, an award-winning spa and wellness facilities including gym and padel courts, as well as refined dining that is set to reach new heights with the arrival of ATLAS later this year.
It makes Rockliffe Hall an ideal destination for a stay and play escape, where golfers can enjoy an unforgettable round before unwinding in comfort – and waking up the next morning to do it all over again.
As the resort enters this exciting new chapter, one thing is clear: Rockliffe Hall is not simply maintaining its reputation as one of the finest golf destinations in the north of England.
It is setting its sights firmly on becoming one of the very best golf resorts in the UK.
