Dale Hill Hotel & Golf Club

What Dale Hill Hotel & Golf Club does

Dale Hill Hotel & Golf Club, trading as Dale Hill Hotel and Golf Limited (Company Number 07757090), operates a four-star resort on 350+ acres near Ticehurst, East Sussex, less than one mile from the A229. The property comprises 50 en-suite bedrooms across six categories (Small Double, Standard Twin, Superior Double/Twin, Executive Double/Twin, Suite Double/Twin, and the newly introduced Scotney & Pashley executive suites), two 18-hole golf courses — the Ian Woosnam-designed championship layout covering nearly 200 acres and The Old Course at just over 5,800 yards — plus dining venues (Wealden View Restaurant and The Orangery), a heated indoor pool, sauna, and air-conditioned gym. Wedding and banqueting facilities accommodate up to 200 guests in the Dale Hill Suite, with three structured package tiers (Pearl, Sapphire, Diamond).

Revenue is generated through six streams: hotel accommodation, golf green fees and buggy hire, multi-tier golf memberships (Full 7-day, 5-day, Flexi, Junior, Corporate, Get Into Golf), wedding and event hosting, food and beverage, and group/society reservations. Pricing is hybrid — annual subscriptions for memberships (£175 to £4,125), per-head unit pricing for weddings (£75-£165), and pay-as-you-go for society and break packages. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via dalehill.co.uk with integrated booking (direct-book.com for rooms, bookteetime.dalehill.co.uk for tee times, meetingpackage.com for conferences), supplemented by phone reservations, a SquareMeal wedding venue listing, and dedicated corporate sales. The technology stack centres on the Opera property management system, intelligentgolf for member competitions and tee booking, BarkWeb for email marketing, and Enjovia for gift voucher e-commerce.

Dale Hill is a privately held subsidiary of Leaderboard Golf Holdings Limited, which also operates The Oxfordshire Golf Club and Sandford Springs Hotel & Golf Club, enabling cross-venue membership benefits and shared marketing infrastructure. The company was founded in 2004, employs 11-50 staff, and serves individual leisure guests, golf members, corporate clients, wedding parties, and golf societies across South East England. No venture capital or private equity investment is evidenced.
