Consistently ranked among the finest inland golf venues in the country, Woodhall Spa offers a truly world-class golfing experience with timeless appeal.

Set within a tranquil woodland landscape, this historic resort combines championship golf with comfortable accommodation and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re a scratch golfer or a casual player, Woodhall Spa is the perfect place to escape, unwind, and enjoy golf at its very best.

Golf Courses

Woodhall Spa Golf Club is home to two exceptional layouts – the legendary Hotchkin Course and the beautifully crafted Bracken Course. Together, they provide a superb mix of challenge and playability, making the venue ideal for golfing purists and groups alike.

Hotchkin Course Style: Heathland | Length: 7,080 yards | Par: 72 Ranked the no.13 course in England by Top 100 Golf Courses and widely considered one of the best inland courses in the UK, the Hotchkin Course is a true test of golf. Originally laid out in 1905 and redesigned by Harry Colt, its current form features dramatic bunkering, firm heathland turf, and towering pines.

Famed for its deep, penal bunkers and strategic layout, this par-71 championship course is a must-play for any serious golfer visiting England.

Bracken Course Style: Parkland | Length: 6,785 yards | Par: 72 In contrast, the Bracken Course, designed by Donald Steel, offers a gentler yet still rewarding round. With wider fairways, more water features, and a parkland feel, it perfectly complements the rugged intensity of the Hotchkin.

Ideal for mixed-ability groups or as a second round during your stay, it adds variety and balance to the overall Woodhall Spa experience.

Restaurant & Bars

The clubhouse at Woodhall Spa is home to a relaxed and friendly restaurant and bar where guests can enjoy hearty breakfasts, light lunches, or a post-round pint.
