Golf

Improve your handicap in South Oxfordshire

Did you know that original golf balls were made of wood until the introduction of the 'featherie'? A featherie was a hand sewn, painted cowhide bag stuffed with goose feathers. This type of ball was used for almost two centuries before the gradual development of today's dimpled balls.

If whiling away your day on the green is your idea of fun and relaxation, while still being one with nature, then South Oxfordshire has several golf courses for you to choose from.

There are 18-hole mature parkland courses for the mature golfer as well as putting greens and various practice areas for beginners.

You have the option of using the golf club for the day or staying at some of the luxurious hotels associated with the clubs. Or if you are conducting a business meeting or conference, some of the golfing venues and hotels offer conference facilities.
