About the golf course
Rated London’s #1 golf experience, The Shire’s Seve Ballestoros golf course is destined to be the iconic Spaniards one and only challenge to golfers in the UK.
Six par threes, six par fours, six par fives. No two consecutive holes of the same par, on either nine. Links holes, stadium-style Tour golf holes, and traditional British parkland holes, all immaculately presented.
The Ballesteros Masters Course has many unforgettable holes, often challenging you with a shot over water, and none more than the 18th – where the course architect literally stamped his initial with an S-shaped lake, making it the ultimate challenge of on the country’s most demanding closing holes.
