Woodhall Spa Golf Club

Hotchkin World Class & Tom Doak

5.0 of 5 starsReviewed July 1, 2023

It's actually crazy that I'm the first to write a review about the 36-hole Golf Resort Woodhall Spa in the "central south-east" of England.

The 18L Bracken Course is beautifully designed as a country/woodland course in the Lincolnshire countryside. Nice 3.5 star place that would be one of the best places in southern Germany!

The 18-hole Hotchkin Heathland Course is one of the best I've ever played! This almost 120 year old gem of a golf course was completely redesigned by Tom Doak in 2020! Next to Ben Crenshaw, Tom Doak is probably the best golf course architect in the world, who is known for his absolute minimalism! That means that at Doak, like 100 years ago, the landscape and the terrain are the specifications, not a bulldozer!
Without changing the layout of SV Hotchkin, Doak adapted the course to the new lengths.
Woodhall Spa 'the Hotchkin' has always been in the UK top ten before! During our visit, unfortunately when the sky was closed, this heath course was absolutely world class!!! Ps.: The par 3 on hole 13 is hardly playable from the 5m deep bunkers! PW and submit :-)!
1 hour drive from Kings Lynn, worth every minute! From 3.30 p.m. Sundowner Fee £95, a bargain for this course...!!!
