Cotswolds Club Golf Course
Campden
Cotswolds Club Golf Course provides a traditional parkland round on the outskirts of Chipping Norton. Established in 1890, it is one of Oxfordshire’s oldest golf clubs and now forms part of Cotswolds Hotel & Spa, allowing golfers to stay within walking distance of the first tee.
The 18-hole, par-72 course measures 6,284 yards and runs across gently undulating countryside. Mature trees frame many of the fairways, rewarding golfers who can position their tee shots and avoid being blocked out on approaches. Its elevation of more than 700 feet above sea level provides attractive views across the surrounding Oxfordshire landscape and contributes to effective natural drainage and year-round playability.
There is plenty of variety across the layout. The round begins with a par three played towards a two-tier green before moving into a downhill par five offering an early birdie opportunity. Several shorter par fours encourage golfers to choose between an attacking drive and a more controlled positional shot.
The par-five 14th is another memorable risk-and-reward hole. Played downhill, it brings a water-filled brook into consideration for both longer hitters and golfers laying up. The long par-three 17th provides a demanding late test where the wind can be difficult to judge, before a short uphill par four completes the round.
Visitors, societies and golf groups are welcome throughout the year. An indoor TrackMan Swing Studio provides simulator golf, coaching, swing analysis and year-round practice. The adjoining hotel, restaurant and treatment facilities make the course especially convenient for short golf breaks in the Cotswolds.

About The Area
Campden, usually known as Chipping Campden, is one of the Cotswolds’ most attractive bases for a golf break, with honey-coloured stone buildings, a historic high street and easy access to classic countryside courses. It works especially well for golfers who want a slower, scenic stay rather than a big resort setup — think good pubs, pretty villages, rolling views and relaxed rounds in proper English countryside.
The nearest strong golf option is Broadway Golf Club, positioned between Broadway and Chipping Campden. The club describes its setting between two of the Cotswolds’ most beautiful towns, with nearby villages such as Snowshill and Stanton adding to the area’s charm. For golfers, it offers exactly the kind of Cotswold experience people come for: elevated views, changing lies, exposed sections where the wind matters and a course that rewards tidy positioning rather than just distance.
For more variety, Naunton Downs Golf Club is another good option in the wider Cotswolds. It is open to visitors, welcomes society days and describes itself as a stunning Cotswolds golf club with year-round playability. Further afield, Cotswolds Hotel & Spa Golf Club near Chipping Norton adds a resort-style option, with a par-72 parkland layout and Cotswold countryside views.
Golf around Campden is best from April to October, with late spring and early autumn especially good for comfortable temperatures and better course conditions.
Off the course, Chipping Campden has loads of gentle Cotswold appeal. It is the official start of the Cotswold Way, and the town is known for Court Barn Museum, historic architecture, independent shops and nearby gardens and villages. Broadway Tower, Hidcote, Stratford-upon-Avon and Cheltenham are all useful day-trip options.
For golfers seeking Cotswold scenery, relaxed countryside golf and a charming town base with plenty nearby, Campden is a beautifully placed and very easy-going golf escape.
