Facts and practical information

Nestled in the picturesque Oxfordshire countryside, Frilford Heath is a premier golf destination that offers a quintessentially British golfing experience. Boasting three distinct 18-hole championship courses, this historic golfing venue presents a unique challenge to golfers of all skill levels.

Founded in 1908, Frilford Heath has established itself as a bastion of the sport, with its lush fairways and meticulously manicured greens set amidst ancient heathland. Each course—the Red, Green, and Blue—has its own character and layout, demanding a strategic approach and precise shot-making.

The Red Course is the oldest and most celebrated of the trio, having hosted numerous professional and amateur tournaments. With its traditional parkland feel, golfers navigate through tree-lined fairways and face a variety of natural hazards. The Green Course, though slightly shorter, requires accuracy to score well, while the Blue Course offers a more modern golfing test with its links-style design.

Frilford Heath's facilities are second to none, with a state-of-the-art practice ground, a well-stocked pro shop, and a welcoming clubhouse where members and guests can enjoy refreshments and meals. The club also offers professional tuition for those looking to improve their game.
