Coordinates: 53°09′29″N 0°12′25″W / 53.158°N 0.207°W / 53.158; -0.207 Woodhall Spa Golf Club is a private golf club in England, that is located to the north of Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire. The club was founded in 1891. In 1995 the club was purchased by the English Golf Union,[1] who have since relocated their headquarters onto the site, which is now known as the National Golf Centre.

Woodhall Spa has two golf courses, the Hotchkin, which opened in 1905 and was originally laid out by Harry Vardon before being redesigned by Stafford Vere Hotchkin in the 1920s, and the Bracken, designed by Donald Steel and opened in 1998.[2] The club has hosted many prestigious amateur championships including the English Amateur and the Brabazon Trophy on several occasions.
