Championship golf breaks at The Oxfordshire

Set in the Oxfordshire countryside near Thame, The Oxfordshire combines a 50-bedroom four-star hotel, the Tempus Spa and one of the county’s most distinctive championship courses. With the M40 close by and Oxford around 10 miles away, it is a convenient stay-and-play choice for groups travelling from London, the Midlands and across southern England.

Golf at The Oxfordshire

The course was designed by Rees Jones as his first project in the UK. Its bold, stadium-style layout features 135 bunkers, four lakes and large, strategically contoured greens, creating an inland links-style test that can play to more than 7,000 yards from the back tees.

The Oxfordshire has hosted the Benson & Hedges International, the Andersen Consulting World Championship of Golf and the Ladies English Open. Seve Ballesteros, Nick Faldo, Colin Montgomerie and Darren Clarke are among the leading players to have competed here, giving a golf break at the resort genuine tournament pedigree.

Hotel and dining

The hotel has 46 Executive Bedrooms and four individually designed Suites. Executive rooms include private balconies, air conditioning, complimentary WiFi, flat-screen televisions and separate bath and shower facilities, while the larger Suites add a relaxation lounge and double-sized private balcony.

Residential golf packages include a three-course dinner, bed and breakfast each night. Guests can dine in the Sakura Restaurant, relax in the Lakes Lounge or visit the Spike Bar after golf. Non-golfers can be added from £149 per person sharing, per night, on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis.

Tempus Spa and leisure

Golf-break guests can use the gym and poolside facilities during their stay. The Tempus Spa also offers bookable treatments, making the resort suitable for mixed groups and travellers who want time away from the course.

New group services for 2027

From March 2027, groups can add a Golf Genius live-scoring service, subject to minimum numbers and an additional charge. A hole-in-one competition is also available on the 13th hole, with entry options from £5 to £50 and prizes ranging from £5,000 to £100,000. It can be arranged in advance or taken up on the day, subject to the venue’s terms.

Published package prices are per person based on two guests sharing and include a three-course dinner, bed and breakfast. Single occupancy and room upgrades are each available from £65 per room, per night.

    • The Oxfordshire Golf Club

    Course overview

    The Oxfordshire is one of the top courses in its region. Having opened for play in 1993, this American-style stadium course has large sand-based greens and obvious vantage points for spectators.

    Certainly not one for the golf purest, but is a course for those looking for a good challenge whilst walking in the footsteps of the greats, including Langer, Clarke and Montgomerie, who have all won here. From the yellow, white or red tees, the course is playable for most. Having hosted European Tour events just a few years after its opening, the course was only open to members and their guests for a long while.

    For the bigger hitters, a memorable 17th awaits. The signature hole is a par 5 with a severe dogleg around a lake. A risk-reward 2nd shot will set up a good chance at eagle!

    These days the course has opened its doors and is home to a fantastic luxury hotel. We are pleased to be able to offer stay and play golf packages at the venue 12 months of the year.

    Owned by the Leaderboard Group, the resort is a sister to Sandford Springs and Dale Hill.

      We also work with selected, popular golf resorts across the UK including those under the management of Marriott, plus 4 time Ryder Cup host The Belfry, Celtic Manor and many more.

      If you are planning a golf break, we are the only call you need to make.

      We are available by phone 0117 256 5966 (Monday – Friday, 9am to 5pm), WhatsApp, email, enquiry form or via social media channels.

    • Why choose Golf South West as your tour operator?

      GSW is run by golfers and endorsed by golf professionals across the South West of the UK.

      We are a fully insured, experienced and recommended golf tour operator, who are insured by an ABTOT bond, meaning your money is secure and safe.

      We offer tours to a largely exclusive and unrivalled selection of venues across the Southwest of England and Wales, including some courses which can be tricky to access.

      We are also proud members of Golf Tourism England and IAGTO, who only work with only the best and most reputable companies in the industry.

    • What happens if we can’t go on our planned trip?

      Holding deposits are non-refundable, but they are transferable* to a new date or break. We aim to be as flexible as possible and will treat each situation on a case by case basis. Full deposits are non-refundable so please only commit and pay for those in the party who are definitely able to attend the trip.

       

      * Some venue restrictions apply. Terms vary depending on the venue and cancellation term booked. Phone GSW consultant can advise you of this.

    • Can we make changes to our break?

      Managing a group can be a thankless task and changes to the group leading up to your break are an accepted element. We make changes as stress free as possible (just see our reviews for evidence of this!). Changes can be made up to 6 weeks prior to your break. Some changes are unavoidable so for legitimate reasons we will endeavour to make last minute changes after this period, but as we would have paid our venues at this point, this would be at the discretion of the venue(s) you are visiting. Please note a £25 admin fee will be applied for changes inside 6 weeks.

    • Why book with a tour operator?

      Good question, could you not do this all yourself? The answer is yes you could. You are able to locate the ideal hotel with the accessibility you need to the clubs you plan to play. You could go back and forth with your target venues and line up the tee times.  You could also contact each venue individually to advise them of group number changes and requests during the build up to your trip.

      Alternatively you could;

      – Talk to us about the trip you are planning.

      – Receive quotes for perfectly crafted package meeting your ideal requirements.

      – Secure the booking with small deposits staged in a way to make your life easier as an organiser.

      – Have your funds fully insured and independently held by PTS, our client trust provider.

      – Have changes made to whole tours with just one call or email.

      – Receive exclusive extras such as free places.

      – Pay less with our packages than going direct to venues.

      Why can we do this?

      Quite simply we have spent years (since 2015) forging strong relationships with hotel, golf club and golf resort venues across the South West. We are the expert tour operator for the region and are know for our high quality and personal service to our clients (just see our Google and TrustPilot reviews).

    • Who uses Golf South West?

      The majority of our clients are UK based domestic travellers. We deal with groups of any size, from single travellers and couples, to large golf societies.

      We also are the favoured golf DMC for the South West of England and preferred regional partner of Golf Tourism England. We regularly work with tour operators from Europe, America and elsewhere to provide bespoke tour packages allowing overseas travellers to experience the beautiful West Country.

    • How are package prices displayed on our website?

      Prices on our our website are displayed in two ways. The first is on our Resort pages where pricing tables show the from prices for low, mid and high season golf stay and play package rates at golf resort venues.

      The second is on our example tour package pages. There are often 4 prices shown here, two for low season and two for high season. The struck through price typically shows the highest price the tour can be and is often active over weekends in that season. The offer price is typically a mid week price.

      Every tour quote we offer is bespoke and will vary based on a number of factors including the date, availability, group size, room type, time of day for the tee time, etc… Our package pricing is a guide to the cost of the package and is not a firm price. Please enquire for an exact cost.

      We aim to provide as accurate a price as possible and therefore try to avoid using shoulder/mid season pricing or twilight green fee rates when displaying rates. You may find an intermediate price for breaks in months of April & October at certain venues.

    • Why are golf resort prices the same as elsewhere?

      Put simply, all tour operators work from the same contracted rate card when it comes to stay and play golf resort packages. When it comes to golf tours, that is a different matter, but golf resorts are a level playing field.

      If you find a vastly different price, it’s likely you’ve been misquoted and usually this does come back to bite.

      The question this poses is why book a stay and play golf break with Golf South West if you can book direct or with one of the large operators and receive the same price?

      Benjamin Franklin once said “The bitterness of poor quality remains long after
      the sweetness of low price is forgotten.”

      We have a small team so booking through us means you receive a personal service. You are more than just a number to us, we are a tour operator where you will likely get to deal with the same contact throughout the process, who will get to know you and your group and respond efficiently to your queries.

      We know our venues and the people who work there. This ensures a smooth process from initial enquiry to the end of your stay.

      Financially you have an extra layer of protection as your money is securely stored in an independent trust account and is fully insured when it is released to the venue(s) you are visiting.

      We are fortunate to have some exclusive “extras” with selected venues across the South West. We offer 1 in 16 free on most trips AND run an exclusive credit system to reward repeat bookers.

      We often feel we add further value to our clients when it comes to our bespoke golf tour packages, but you can rest assured that when making a stay and play golf resort booking, Golf South West will offer you an extremely high level of service, financial protection and may even offer you a saving or an exclusive extra!
