The Best Hotels Near Wentworth Golf Club

Wentworth Golf Club sits in Virginia Water, within a 700-hectare Surrey estate that feels far removed from London, despite being only an hour from the south-west of the capital and roughly 20 minutes from Heathrow. Founded in 1922, it has carried a reputation for privacy, prestige and a significant golfing pedigree. By 2025, membership was reported to require a debenture of around £250,000, with annual fees said to sit near £20,000, which places it among the world’s most exclusive private clubs.

Wentworth is also home to the headquarters of the PGA European Tour and hosts the BMW PGA Championship each year on its West Course, which is one of the most recognisable tournament venues in English golf. That is part of its appeal: Surrey greenery, deep sporting heritage and enough nearby country hotels to turn a round, a wedding weekend or a short break into something slightly more considered.

In this guide, we explore five of the best hotels to stay within easy reach of Wentworth Golf Club.

Royal Berkshire

Although officially classed as Ascot, Royal Berkshire is one of the most convenient choices for Wentworth, sitting on London Road in Sunninghill, which is around two miles from the club by road. Set within 15 acres of landscaped grounds, the red-brick mansion has a 300-year story and was originally built for the Churchill family, with period features and heritage details still giving the house much of its character today. The whole estate can also be booked exclusively, giving it extra weight for weddings, private parties and larger group stays.

Currently, there are 66 individually designed rooms and suites across the Mansion House, Oak Wing and larger signature spaces, with garden views, comfortable beds and enough variation for couples, families and wedding guests. Inside, the tone is classic Ascot, featuring soft furnishings, a Polo Bar for a drink before dinner and Fork, the hotel’s flagship restaurant, where a locally sourced food menu, afternoon tea and Sunday lunch can all be enjoyed. The restaurant is built around local ingredients, while Georgian windows still hint at the building’s history.

The hotel's terrace and walled garden come into their own in warmer months, particularly after time spent around Wentworth Golf Course, Virginia Water or Windsor Great Park. There is also frisbee golf on the lawns, which adds a lighter country-weekend feel to the grounds. It is also a sensible base for Ascot Racecourse, Windsor Castle, Legoland and nearby golf courses, making it a practical option for couples, families and groups who seek a quintessentially British country-house feel without drifting too far from the main roads.

 

Coworth Park

Coworth Park is the most elegant name on this list and the obvious choice for anyone who wants a Wentworth weekend to feel like an occasion. Set on 240 acres of Berkshire parkland close to Windsor Great Park, it has 71 rooms and suites, a spa, several restaurants and bars and an equestrian centre with two professional polo fields, the only hotel in the UK to offer them, managed by Guards Polo Club. It is also a sister hotel to The Dorchester, which gives a fair sense of the service level before arrival.

The estate carries a wealth of history, with the land said to trace back to Edward the Confessor, while Coworth House itself was built in 1776 for William Shepheard, an East India merchant. Later owners included the Arbuthnot family, William Farmer and Lord Stanley, the 17th Earl of Derby, before the estate was restored and opened as a Dorchester Collection hotel in 2010.

Rooms are spread between the mansion house, stables and cottages, so guests can choose between classic grandeur and a slightly more rural feel. Dining is a major reason to stay, particularly Woven by Adam Smith, which is the hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant, while The Barn gives the place a more relaxed space, perfect post-walk or post-spa visit. For golfers, Coworth works because it extends the day beyond the course: a round at Wentworth can be followed by a swim, a massage, dinner in the mansion, or a drink looking out across the estate..

 

Macdonald Berystede Hotel & Spa

Macdonald Berystede Hotel & Spa is a good middle ground, located close to Ascot and close enough to Wentworth. Set on Bagshot Road in Sunninghill, the four-star hotel is surrounded by landscaped gardens and sits well for Ascot Racecourse, Legoland Windsor and the main routes in and out of Surrey and Berkshire, including the M3, M4 and M25.

The main appeal is the spa. After a morning on the course, the Berystede’s thermal facilities make practical sense, with six treatment rooms, an 18-metre pool, rock and infra-red saunas and an outdoor hydrotherapy pool looking out towards the Berkshire countryside. There is also a thermal suite, aroma steam room, salt room, ice igloo and relaxation space, while treatments use exclusively ELEMIS products.

Rooms are more straightforward than the grander hotels nearby, but there are over 120 of them, including turret rooms, four-posters, executive rooms and larger suites. Food and drink is flexible too, with indoor dining and alfresco options, including the Royal Enclosure Terrace & Gardens in summer.

 

Great Fosters, an SLH Hotel

Set on Stroude Road in Egham, just outside Windsor, Great Fosters is a five-star Tudor estate with red brick, tall chimneys, formal gardens and an immediate sense of occasion. The hotel’s own directions place it just off the A30 route past Wentworth, making it a perfect Surrey base for a weekend spent golfing.

The estate covers 50 acres and includes listed parterres, a Saxon moat, a Japanese bridge, a fountain and a sundial said to have been gifted by Sir Francis Drake. Originally a royal hunting lodge, Great Fosters became a hotel in 1931 and has since hosted a roll call of notable guests, including Orson Welles and Charlie Chaplin. Inside, there are 56 individually styled rooms and suites, ranging from historic rooms in the main house to more modern spaces in The Cloisters and Coach House. Four-poster beds, antiques, tapestries and fireplaces keep the period character intact, while air conditioning, minibars and modern bathrooms bring it up to date.

The Tudor Pass is the hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant, with only seven tables and tasting menus by head chef Stefano Di Giosia , while The Estate Grill, which holds 2 AA Rosettes, offers a more relaxed choice for dinner after a long day. Afternoon tea, cocktails, the hotel’s own gin and estate honey round out the food and drink, while in summer the terraces, heated outdoor pool, hot tub, tennis court and croquet lawns give guests plenty of space to switch off.

 

Fairmont Windsor Park

Fairmont Windsor Park sits on the edge of historic Windsor Great Park, surrounded by 40 acres of open green space and a lake, yet remains within easy reach of Heathrow and central London. Hotel listings place it around 2.5 miles from Wentworth Golf Club, making it one of the more convenient high-end choices nearby.

The hotel houses 251 bedrooms and suites, many overlooking the landscaped gardens, plus a substantial restaurant and bar set-up. Dining ranges from Italian cooking at Il Giardino at 1215 to the forthcoming Windsor Brasserie, billed as a modern European restaurant with a raw bar, tableside dishes and a more dressed-up evening feel.

Spread across 2,500 square metres, the hotel spa includes a thermal suite, sauna, steam room, ice fountain, Jacuzzi and a wider range of wellness facilities such as Japanese Ashiyu Foot Ritual Bath, traditional marble hammam and Himalayan Salt Room, which gives guests somewhere to properly unwind after golf or settle into a slower weekend away.

The best hotels near Wentworth Golf Club all offer something slightly different, which is what makes this part of Surrey such a strong choice for a golf weekend. A quick overnight stay, a longer spa weekend, a wedding, a family break or a high-end golf retreat can all be managed within a short drive of the course. Few golf clubs in England have quite the same concentration of strong hotels nearby and that makes Wentworth one of Surrey’s most appealing bases for a polished country escape.
