Found deep in Lincolnshire’s majestic countryside, Woodhall Spa is home to one of the greatest inland golf courses in the world. The revered Hotchkin course is a heathland haven for any lover of the game, the layout is one you will remember playing for years to come, especially the famously deep bunkering.

Although the Hotchkin steals the spotlight, there is more that makes Woodhall Spa a must-visit destination for a UK golf break. Home to The National Golf Centre, Woodhall Spa is a complete golf experience, with the Bracken course serving as the perfect partner to the Hotchkin. The onsite golf hotel is the perfect place to stay while you enjoy world-class golf.

Golf Courses at Woodhall Spa

Hotchkin Course

The Hotchkin Course is not only the best golf course away from the coast, it is also ranked second overall in England. A number of key moments have influenced the development of this remarkable course; Harry Vardon's original 1905 design was reworked just before the Great War by Harry S. Colt, before the English Golf Union bought the site in 1995.

The firm heathland turf is the basis for the Hotchkin's character, where the majestic holes are lined by towering birch pine and broom. The predominant hazards, apart from the woodland, is the bunkering; around the greens in particular, the Hotchkin is known for its cavernous sand traps.

This inland gem is without doubt a classic, and deserves its incredible reputation; any serious golfer should make a golf break at Woodhall Spa a high priority.

Bracken Course

Donald Steel's remarkable vision for the Bracken Course has been realised with dramatic effect. Although it neighbours the Hotchkin, Steel's creation is vastly different; the undulating greens and proliferation of water are more akin to golf in America, but the Bracken adds much to the character of Woodhall Spa, and is a key part of its golf break experience.

Played in a very wet January however you would not have known it on the course. Great condition, ball was running on the fairways. Lots of tough bunkers, all in good condition too. Very friendly staff and members. Excellent facilities too. Will definitely go back!

Enjoyed this course more than main course. Superb design. Golf shop staff - Joel in particular very helpful and very pleasant to deal with - he really added to enjoyment of our visit by chatting and telling us about the courses etc.. Overall, we had a fun time and enjoyed playing such good courses.

No issues - greens could have been quicker but it had rained heavily overnight so condition was still really good. Loads of bunkers. Most greens had front area blocked off to caddy cars/buggies so this increased amount of walking. Enjoyed the course and we were not rushed.

There was a lot of work being done on the some of the holes. The large deep bunkers on the first 4 or 5 holes and the last couple of holes were all out of play, which didn't spoil the round but would have been interesting to play out of.

The course was in good condition for the time of year that we went (March) greens were a little slow but we were told before starting they had had some work done on them. We received a great welcome from the bar staff and pro shop staff who couldn't do enough for us.
