The Wychwood Golf Club

The design strikes a good balance, offering a proper challenge for experienced golfers while remaining accessible to those still building their game. The course sits comfortably within its rolling terrain, and after your round the clubhouse provides a welcoming spot to relax over food or a drink, often with views stretching across the fairways.

The club draws its name from the ancient Royal Forest of Wychwood, a woodland that once functioned as a royal hunting ground, which gives the place a connection to the region's deeper history. While the club itself is relatively modern, that historical link adds some character to your visit. If you're staying in or near Chipping Norton, Burford, or Witney, it's a convenient spot to break up your time in the area, offering something different from the usual village exploration and heritage tours. You don't need to be a serious golfer to enjoy it either—the relaxed atmosphere and leafy setting work just as well if you're simply after a good meal and a change of scenery. The northern location makes it straightforward to reach from any of the main towns in the region.
