Heythrop Park Resort Golf Oxfordshire

The 7,156-yard, par 72 course at the Heythrop Park Resort near Chipping Norton, 15 miles north east of Oxford, opened in September, 2009, ten years after the idea of the Club was first mooted, but no time at all when compared to the rich history of the archetypal English estate on which it has been built.

Heythrop Park is one of the most historic Estates in England and in keeping with its status is now graced by a quintessential English golf course which meanders over ridges and through valleys and is studded with ancient woodland, lakes and streams.

The new 7,156-yard par 72 course is the handiwork of Tom Mackenzie, of the internationally-renowned golf course architects, Mackenzie & Ebert, who are currently working on four Open Championship venues, Turnberry, Royal St George’s, Royal Lytham & St Annes and Royal Troon, as well as other prestigious projects as far afield as the Portugal, Angola, Germany, the Czech Republic, Germany, Canada and the West Indies.

Mackenzie and Ebert are renowned for their sympathetic treatment of the landscape and nowhere is that better illustrated than at Heythrop, where the course was seeded as recently as the summer of 2008, but which will soon look as if it has been in situ for years.
