More information on Oulton Hall

Standing on high ground within the Yorkshire countryside close to Leeds, Oulton Hall hotel combines all the elegance of a Victorian mansion along with the most thoroughly modern facilities. Oulton Hall dates back to 1850 and has been lovingly restored and thoughtfully extended to create a hotel with traditional character and unique charm. The hotel is circled by the Oulton Park Golf Course which provides a perfect setting amongst the Yorkshire Dales.

The Golf Academy at Oulton Hall has become the UKs first Nike Golf Academy after the 5-star resort entered into a partnership with Nike Golf. The new-look Nike Golf Academy features the latest Nike equipment and fitting centre technology, including the Nike Golf 360° Fitting System that offers over 25,000 different club combinations.

In addition to a Nike Golf fitting centre, the Academy is branded with 3D lighting in the entrance hall, light beamed logos and images throughout the driving range and televisions showing Nike’s latest products and a portrait of the world’s number #1 player, Tiger Woods. Nike has established itself as a leading brand in world golf boasting such players as Woods, Paul Casey and 2008 Masters Champion, Trevor Immelman among their ambassadors. Visitors to the new Nike Golf Academy will be surrounded by light projected images of these golfing stars and will also have the opportunity to be fitted with the latest Nike golf equipment such as the ‘SQ’ driver and fairways, CCi irons and SV tour wedges.

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.”
