The Grove has done it again. This year, at the glamorous World Golf Awards in Madeira, Spain, they snagged the title of England’s Best Golf Hotel—a crown they’ve worn before, and clearly, they’ve made it a habit.
Nestled in the rolling Hertfordshire countryside, this 300-acre slice of heaven isn’t just a golf resort; it’s a full-blown luxury retreat.
Think manicured fairways, bunker sand so pristine you’ll want to build a castle in it, and greens smoother than a Sinatra ballad.
The 18-hole championship course? Always in top-notch condition, and it’s open all year round, which is a big win for anyone who doesn’t let the weather get in the way of a good round.
But The Grove isn’t just about golf. It’s got a 5-star hotel with 214 seriously stylish rooms, the award-winning Sequoia spa where you can get pampered to your heart’s content, and enough fun activities to keep even the non-golfers in your group happy. It’s no surprise this place keeps stacking up the awards.
Speaking of accolades, this isn’t their first rodeo. They first nabbed this award back in 2021 and were also crowned Golf World’s number-one English resort for 2023/24.
Clearly, when it comes to hospitality and golf, The Grove knows how to keep the competition in its rearview mirror.
Joel Westwell, the man steering the golf ship at The Grove, had nothing but praise for the team that makes it all happen: “Winning this award again just three years after being recognised in 2021 is a true testament to the dedication, ambition and excellence of our entire team, across the property.
“The exceptional facilities we offer, both on and off the course, reflect our commitment to maintaining the highest standards every day. We’re proud to provide golfers with not only a challenging and rewarding course but also a unique opportunity to unwind in luxury, enjoying our world-class hospitality, spa and dining experiences.”
And let’s be honest—when a place has all this going for it, walking away isn’t easy. You’d need a crowbar or maybe even dynamite to tear yourself away.
Whether you’re perfecting your game or simply seeking a luxurious getaway, The Grove—proud recipient at The Grove World Golf Awards—is the destination of choice.
