Frequently Asked Questions

What's the real feel of playing the 18-hole course at Kirtlington, and what should I expect?

We found the 18-hole Par 70 course at Kirtlington to be a really enjoyable, straightforward round. It's not overly long, but the tree-lined fairways demand accuracy, especially on the back nine. You'll appreciate the well-maintained greens and the generally relaxed pace of play here.

Is the 9-hole Blenheim Course worth playing, or is it just for beginners?

Absolutely, the 9-hole Blenheim Course is a fantastic option, not just for beginners but also for a quick practice round or if you're short on time. It's a Par 35 with some genuinely interesting holes that will test your short game and iron play. We often recommend it for a relaxed afternoon or a warm-up before tackling the main 18.

When is the best time of year to play Kirtlington Golf Club for optimal conditions?

We always recommend visiting Kirtlington between late spring and early autumn - think May through September - to experience the courses at their absolute best. The fairways are lush, the greens roll true, and you'll avoid the heavier winter conditions that can sometimes affect English courses. Plus, the longer daylight hours mean you can easily fit in both courses if you wish.

What's a standout feature or a particularly memorable hole at Kirtlington that I should look out for?

Keep an eye out for the par-3 17th on the 18-hole course; it's a real beauty and a proper test. While not overly long, the approach over water to a well-guarded green demands precision and can easily make or break your scorecard. It's a classic risk-reward hole that we always look forward to playing.

How does Kirtlington offer value, especially if I'm considering playing both courses?

Kirtlington offers excellent value, especially compared to some of its pricier neighbors in Oxfordshire. Green fees are very reasonable, and they often have attractive deals if you're looking to play both the 18-hole and the 9-hole Blenheim Course in one day. We found it's a great spot for a full day of golf without breaking the bank.
