Course information

The Hotchkin layout has changed little since its designer, Stafford Vere Hotchkin, made his significant alterations between 1922 and 1935. However, the course was originally founded at the turn of the century when Harry Vardon laid out 18 holes on land that had been presented for the purpose by the Hotchkin family. Woodhall Spa is of course the home of the English Golf Union, some of the best practice facilities around and the 18-hole 6,134 yards, par 72 Bracken layout.
Accommodation: The Petwood and The Woodhall Spa hotels and The Admiral Rodney in Horncastle.

Golf World Expert Review

The Woodhall Spa Golf Club is very good at standing out from the crowd. It sits, all sandy-soiled, heather-clad, tree-lined bliss in the middle of an otherwise dull district of Lincolnshire. Extravagant praise is not new to The Hotchkin which has prominently featured on a number of global lists conjured up overseas. Routed like a links - the classic nine out, nine back combination - it borrows attributes from its famous heathland cousins in the south east. What sets Woodhall apart though are the bunkers - they sit like bomb craters ready to destroy your card. This course can be played by beginners but at their own risk!! Really it is recommended for the more experienced golfer.

Today's Golfer Expert Review

As reviewed by former US Open champion Michael Campbell:
It was extremely tight and challenging and also has a very distinct old look and feel about it. I was very impressed with the layout, the piles of heather all over the place… in fact everything about Woodhall Spa impressed me. It was a golfing experience I’ll never forget.  As for star holes, they're all pretty good with hardly a weak hole on the course which is always the sign of a top venue.
If they could possibly find a bit of extra space and lengthen it, it would give the pros plenty to think about. I’m aware though that it currently gives club golfers and amateurs a severe test of golf.
