Hellidon Lakes, Northamptonshire
Hellidon Lakes Golf & Spa Hotel's championship course offers challenges aplenty for beginners and scratch golfers alike. As you might expect, many of the 27 holes feature water hazards, albeit with a choice of challenging carries over, or safer routes around the numerous lakes; on the par 5 twelfth, for instance, two long shots over the water can end in triumph or disaster, whereas three shots along the zigzag route can yield a solid par.
