golf at The Springs
join our club
The Springs Resort & Golf Club near Wallingford, Oxfordshire, is laid over 133 acres of beautiful parkland, that runs alongside the River Thames.
Our par 72 golf course was originally designed by former Ryder Cup captain Brian Huggett, and first opened in 1998. The course was purchased by Darwin Escapes in 2017 and the following year began a significant investment plan, starting with the golf course. Leading course architect Tim Lobb was called in and he worked in consultation with Huggett, primarily on the bunkers and lakes, improving their placement, appearance, and aesthetic appeal.
Our newly extended clubhouse includes the Spike Bar and The Ridgeway restaurant, as well as two brand new state of the art swing studios, each with GC Quad technology and putting lab. The practice ground has an increased levelled teeing area as well as specific targets on the outfield. Along with our short game area, this is a truly enjoyable place to practice your golf.
We are thrilled to now be a GEO Certified course, a highly regarded sustainability distinction awarded to only 2% of golf courses in the UK.

The Springs golf course
Our 133 acres of parkland are a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and provide the perfect place to escape from the stresses of hectic modern lifestyles. This is the ideal place to enjoy your golf as a member or as a guest.
Our Wallingford golf course was designed by someone who has experience on a wide range of courses around the world. This experience has helped him formulate a layout which proves to be a challenge to novices and skilled golfers alike: former Ryder Cup Captain Brian Huggett MBE.
Brian made full use of the wide-ranging terrain types on our 133 acres of Oxfordshire countryside to formulate a universally admired layout which draws golf lovers from across the UK who are keen to take on the challenge that Brian has helped us put together.
It isn’t just the terrain which proves to be a challenge. Golfers also take on the challenge posed by the elements with our course being surrounded by miles of open countryside.
One of the most challenging features of our golf course is the 8th hole as it is the one which is most impacted by the wind. On this particular hole, anything from a wood to a mid-iron can prove to be appropriate depending on the weather conditions you are facing on the day.
If you are looking to change golf clubs, or if you’re new to the game and it’s the first time you are considering joining a club, don’t worry as everyone is welcome.

the golf course
The Springs Resort & Golf Club is set in beautiful parkland alongside the River Thames. Offering a variety of terrain, it presents all levels of golfers with a real challenge. Our par 72 golf course was originally designed by former Ryder Cup captain Brian Huggett, and first opened in 1998.
The course was purchased by Darwin Escapes in 2017 and the following year began a significant investment plan, starting with the golf course. Leading course architect Tim Lobb was called in and he worked in consultation with Huggett, primarily on the bunkers and lakes, improving their placement, appearance, and aesthetic appeal.
Tim Lobb said: “With a little bit of careful work to bring the course up to the level of its surroundings, it will be a very successful golf resort.” The signature hole is the 8th. A par 3 over water, which is more often than not, has varying wind conditions to consider. Anything from a mid-iron to a wood can be used here, as you play towards a green that is not only surrounded by water, but also has bunkers covering any bail out. A superb challenge for all.
The Springs Golf Club is a modern golf club, friendly and relaxed… exactly how it should be. We also have fantastic practice facilities for you to perfect your game; a practice range, short game area and practice putting green.
