The Mere Golf Resort & Spa – Knutsford, England

Edged by a 150-acre natural mere and protected woodland, The Mere Golf Resort uses water, turf and tech to engineer every training day. Its 6 822-yard James Braid parkland course skirts the lake on four holes; a triple-tiered range, SAM PuttLab studio and Tour-coach academy shave strokes whatever the weather. Beyond golf, three outdoor tennis courts and a lakeside trim trail keep racquet swings and cadence counts firing, while the Health Club’s 20-metre ozone pool partners hydro-therapy jets with a glass-fronted gym stacked with Skillrun treadmills and Wattbikes.

Indoor timetables layer aqua-HIIT, spin and functional-fitness circuits before spa therapists usher guests through salt-steam, ice fountain and rasul-mud journeys. Families tackle mini-golf or pitch-and-putt, and junior-golf clinics run school-holiday mornings so parents can join a lunchtime Texas Scramble. Protein-dense bar plates—think M6-reared beef carpaccio—balance with antioxidant poke bowls, and lake-view cocktails mark sunset before live-DJ weekends ignite clubhouse terraces. Newly refreshed suites offer blackout drapes, gigabit Wi-Fi and balcony views across fairways or water, proving remote work and revamped handicaps can share the same post-code.
