Nestled within 450 acres of naturally beautiful terrain where golf has been played
for over a century, Frilford Heath Golf Club, in the heart of Oxfordshire, stands as one of England’s favourite golf destinations.

With meticulously maintained fairways and greens, the club upholds the highest standards, ensuring an outstanding experience on pristine playing surfaces.
Visitors are also benefitting from ongoing investment across the estate, including significant enhancements to all golf courses – already renowned for their year- round conditioning – and an elevated clubhouse experience.

NOTABLE EVENTS
Having hosted Ryder Cup trials, Open Qualifying events, and leading amateur Frilford’s Red, Blue and Green golf courses provide a diverse challenge for golfers of all skill levels.
The Red and Green courses were designed by five-time Open Champion J.H. Taylor, while the Blue, a more recent addition from the 1990s, quickly gained fame for its bold bunkering and undulating greens that demand precise putting.
The late Peter McEvoy OBE, one of the country’s most decorated amateur golfers, perfectly captures Frilford Heath’s essence: “It is God-given land— sandy and firm.
There are a great variety of holes on the three courses and a plethora of that much-neglected genre, short par 4s. Frilford has some of the very best.”
A day at Frilford Heath is further enriched by its idyllic setting, where golf and nature exist in perfect harmony. As a GEO-certified golf club, it is committed to environmental sustainability.
The 450-acre estate, designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), is carefully preserved in partnership with Natural England to protect local wildlife and habitats for future generations
