Woodhall Spa Golf Club, Golf club and course in Woodhall Spa, England.
Woodhall Spa Golf Club comprises two 18-hole courses set across sandy heathland dotted with birch and pine trees. The Hotchkin Course features deep bunkers strategically placed throughout, while the Bracken Course offers alternative routing, and both benefit from modern amenities including a 16-bay driving range with Toptracer technology.
The club was established in 1891, with Harry Vardon designing the original course in 1905. Stafford Vere Hotchkin undertook a significant redesign during the 1920s that shaped the layout visitors experience today.
The facility serves as the National Golf Centre and headquarters of England Golf, hosting players from around the world who come to train and compete. It functions as a hub where golfers of different backgrounds and abilities gather to develop their game.
Both courses welcome golfers of varying abilities, from beginners to competitive players. The terrain is relatively flat and easy to navigate, though weather protection is advisable given the open heathland setting.
The course gets its name from the golf architect who transformed Vardon's original design, creating a golf architecture classic that remains relevant decades later. The strategic bunker placements, particularly at holes four and twelve, have become legendary among players for their challenge and memorability.
