Lincolnshire, England
The Bracken Course overview
Course: Bracken | Location: Lincolnshire | Style: Parkland | Length: 6,785 yards | Par: 72
Often in the shadow of the iconic Hotchkin Course, the Bracken Course at Woodhall Spa offers a distinctive and rewarding experience that stands on its own merits. Designed by Donald Steel, this parkland layout is defined by its generous fairways, intelligent bunkering, and expansive, undulating greens that challenge even the most confident putters.
At 6,785 yards, the Bracken may appear more forgiving off the tee, but its true test lies in mastering the subtleties of approach shots and navigating the large, true-rolling greens. It’s a course that favours strategy and finesse over brute strength, making it a joy to play for all skill levels.
Signature Holes
The 7th hole, a sweeping dogleg par-4 framed by tall pines, demands a perfectly placed tee shot to set up an approach to a contoured green surrounded by deep bunkers. It’s a hole that captures the thoughtful nature of the Bracken - visually inviting, yet quietly treacherous for the unwary.
