Gtour Oulton Hall
Sat 6th Mar 2010 at De Vere Oulton Hall Golf Club
Course Information
The Venue
The Park is one of those great courses that is not necessarily as benign as it first appears. Bunkers are strategically placed on many fairways, so planning and shot placement are of paramount importance. The course is in magnificent shape and a good test for all abilities.
The par 71, 6,400 yard course overlooks a beautiful hill and dale landscape. A pleasure to play, with groomed fairways and subtle, undulating green. Bunkers are strategically placed on many fairways, so planning and shot placement are of paramount importance. The course is in magnificent shape and a good test for all abilities.

Oulton Hall’s association with Nike started a couple of years ago when Head Teaching Professional at the resort, James Whitaker started fitting European Tour players with Nike equipment. The list includes Hull born Richard Finch, winner of both the New Zealand Open and Irish Open earlier this year.
Keith Pickard, Director of Golf and Leisure at Oulton Hall said: “We are delighted to be able to join forces with such a distinguished brand as Nike to create the UKs first Nike Golf Academy. The fact they have chosen to partner Oulton Hall to create their first academy in the UK highlights the quality of the facilities we have here, and I have no doubt the images and light projections of the World’s best golfers will inspire our visitors and guests to maximise their game.”
