Last year I also experienced (I had a Hungarian golf club client) how challenging it can be for a golf club without its own hotel or other accommodations to attract golf tourists.
So it makes it difficult to convince foreign golf tourists and travel agents to visit a specific golf club and take their groups there.
Happy, Stanedge Golf Club has formed a partnership with the Peak Edge Hotel, a charming 4-star boutique hotel.
For many golfers, a great trip means more than just hitting a ball on a beautiful course. In fact, today’s most memorable golf vacations are those that are combine convenience, comfort and character—creating a seamless experience with every detail taken into account.
This is where a strong golf package really shines.
In 2025, so will golf travelers to search extensive resort experiences. They want relax, enjoy and enjoy the surroundings outside the fairways.
This means the destination is important just as good as the golf course. What really takes a stay-and-play package to the next level are the thoughtful details that make it feel unique.
Some favorites are:
- Access to exclusive dining experiences
- Club rental or equipment upgrade options
- Guaranteed premium tee times
- Private lessons or coaching sessions
- Guided tours, local adventures or cultural excursions
How well does the Peak Edge Hotel and Stanedge Golf Club Stay & Play experience meet these expectations?
Stay and play experience
Their partnership seems to be a good fit and offers several benefits, especially considering their location: just a 20-minute drive from Chesterfield.
The distance between the hotel and the club is only 700 meters.
Peak edge HOtel is a boutique hotel in the countryside with 27 bedrooms and an award-winning restaurant, The Red Lion.
Stanedge Golf Club is an independent 10-hole (18-tee) course on the edge of the Peak District, known for its friendly atmosphere, far-reaching views and inclusive ethos.
However, if proximity is a key factor for you and you prefer the golf course to be just a 2-minute walk from your accommodation, you may want to explore other stay and play packages.
If you continue to see potential in their offering, here are the details:
- Lodging & Golf will be available from 1st March 2026just in time for the new golf season.
- The package contains one overnight stay in a Superior Roombreakfast, a pre-booked start time at Stanedge Golf Club, and 10% discount on a la carte dining at De Rode Leeuw.
- Guests are also very welcome book golf at Stanedge separately – there is no obligation to have one Lodging & Golf package – and non-residents are invited to enjoy The Red Lion and bar at Peak Edge, perfect for a post-round drink or dinner with friends.
My verdict
Stanedge Golf Club and Peak Edge Hotel have made effective use of their opportunities.
This package offers an excellent option for families with children who want to spend quality time together, but also for those interested in exploring golf for the first time.
Additionally, it would be helpful to consider including some engaging activities in the area, such as the Stone Edge Cupola, to enhance the overall experience.
