The Hotchkin course is an exquisite heathland course, famous for it’s natural, dramatic bunkering and distinct tactical challenge. It has seen various development phases over the last 115 years culminating in an 18 hole renovation project, which was completed in April 2020 by Tom Doak, arguably the leading golf course architect in the world today. The course is a fair test of strategic golf. The firm heathland fairways are generous in width and the greens have only subtle borrows. However, the 143 dramatic, cavernous bunkers and scrub, gorse and heather await errant shots! Being rated so highly in the world rankings for the last 50 years, is an indication to the courses’ quality and architecture.
The Bracken Course is a contemporary classic and the perfect complement to The Hotchkin Course. Created by Donald Steel, one of Britain’s foremost golf course architects of the modern era, The Bracken Course, which opened in 1998, has evolved into a course of exceptional finesse that is appreciated and enjoyed every day by golfers of all abilities. Hewn from a contrasting landscape of woodland and arable farmland, the fairways and greenside bunkers are more generous than those of The Hotchkin Course, while the large, welcoming greens are more approachable, yet require thought and touch to master the true-rolling putting surfaces.
