The Spa at The Grove

The Gold Collection view

The Grove is one of the clearest examples of a genuinely balanced Spa & Golf break. Sequoia is substantial enough to justify a spa-focused stay in its own right, while the championship course, practice facilities and resort setting give golfers a serious reason to travel. For couples or groups with different priorities, neither side of the experience feels like an afterthought.

Sequoia Spa

The 22-metre indoor pool is the visual centrepiece, supported by Jacuzzi, sauna, steam and dedicated relaxation space. The broader resort also adds serious fitness facilities and seasonal outdoor swimming. This is a spa that works both for a full day and as structured recovery around golf.

The most useful planning point is to separate pure relaxation from athletic recovery. A pre-round visit is best kept light; after golf, allow time to rehydrate before using heat, cold or bodywork.

Treatments & recovery therapies

Sequoia currently works with Bamford and Natura Bissé. The menu includes facial and body treatments alongside massage, including the Sequoia Signature Massage. The breadth makes it suitable for guests who want classic relaxation as well as golfers seeking post-round recovery.

Championship golf

Kyle Phillips’ par-72 course runs through the estate and is open to visiting golfers rather than functioning as a members-only club. It has hosted major professional golf, including the 2016 British Masters, while remaining practical for leisure golf breaks.

Practice infrastructure is a major strength: TrackMan Range technology, putting and short-game areas, tuition and fitting services allow a proper warm-up rather than a rushed first tee. That depth is one reason The Grove meets the Bowood-level Gold standard for a complete Spa & Golf stay.

Hotel, dining & the wider stay

The wider resort gives the spa-and-golf pairing more depth than a simple one-night leisure stay. Rooms and suites, multiple restaurants and bars, estate activities and seasonal outdoor facilities mean guests can build a shared itinerary around the two headline experiences.

The ideal Spa & Golf rhythm

For a two-night break, arrive early enough for a gentle spa session, play golf on the full day, then use the pool, heat and treatment time afterwards. On a one-night stay, protect enough time between the round and treatment appointment so the spa experience does not feel rushed.

Non-golfing partners should secure spa-day or treatment availability at the same time tee times are booked. This is especially important at weekends, when both experiences can be heavily requested.

Practical planning

The Grove is at Chandler’s Cross, Hertfordshire WD3 4TG. The resort advises WD17 3NL for some sat-nav systems. Spa reservations and golf tee times are handled separately, so confirm both before committing to travel dates.
