Woodhall Spa
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.

A very worthy contemporary to the Hotchkin course, very enjoyable and slightly more forgiving. Well worth a visit

Keep out of the Heather and it's playable but, you have to hit a straight ball!

We were a bit lucky with the weather, expecting a lot of rain which didn't materialize. The layout of the course is excellent, the greens were good with a lot of contours, and a good pace. Fairways were in excellent condition. Overall a great day.

The course was in excellent condition and the greens were the best we've played this year. The heather was a sensible length. The bunkers were a bit inconsistent with the depth and quality of the sand. Quite a few large stones in some.

Similar to the Hotchkin, the bunkers were poor for the home of England Golf. The course was interesting with some nice holes and I enjoyed it more than the Hotchkin even though I didn’t score so well. Again, a well stocked half way house - much needed in the heat we had. The greens weren’t as quick but very undulating which didn’t detract from the overall enjoyment.
