RYE HILL GOLF CLUB
WHAT THEY SAY…
Rye Hill Golf Club is a traditional parkland course, with
heath land features and panoramic views. As a EuroPro
Tour venue, it is testimony to the high calibre of this
championship 6,904 yd. par 72 course.
Benefiting from free drainage, the course is playable
throughout the year and it will test the abilities of both
high and low handicappers with its strategically placed
bunkers to catch wayward shots and the often large and
undulated .greens.
WHAT WE SAY…
A place where you can really play golf.
Rye Hill is a hidden gem, nestled in the idyllic county of
Oxfordshire. There are plenty of courses in this region that
receive far more plaudits than Rye Hill and it’s a shame,
set in 200 acres of rolling countryside, with dramatic lakes
and both park and heath land features, it’s a hidden haven
and one of the nicest courses in the area.
When arriving at the club you are surprised to find out just
how well catered for you are, the beautiful old stone built
club house leads you to believe that Rye Hill is plodding

along in life but once inside it’s like a tardis. The ground
floor of the versatile club house is an open plan design
with the bar, reception and pro shop all merging into one
to offer an welcoming and friendly environment and its
expansive function room on the 1st floor is a large and well
presented venue for conferences, events and weddings.
Rye Hill also has a host of practice facilities on hand
to ensure that you can find your game before any
competitions or society match. A 240 yd. grassed area is
available for you to warm up or practise your swing and a
separate area is on hand for you to practise your putting.
You can even head out on the 3 hole academy course to
get your eyen before your tee time.
If you like to have a pop with the big stick then this is the
perfect place. The par 72 championship course is a smidge
under 7000 yards, its expansive fairways mean you can
get the driver out on the majority of the holes and really
attack what’s in front of you.
That’s not to say that Rye Hill isn’t a challenge. Although
the driver can be used on a large number of holes you’ll
still have to pick your spots to play too. Having hosted a
number of EuroPro events it’s a tour standard challenge,
wayward tee shots will be gobbled up by the long rough
and when you do get to the greens they are no easy feat
to conquer.
