Frilford Heath Golf Club (Green course): This is the shortest of the three courses here at Frilford Heath, and ranks for most people at No.3 in the pecking order.

Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends. On a rotational basis, one of Frilford Heath's three courses is reserved for two-ball and foursomes play on any given day.
Booking in advance not essential, but worth checking ahead to ensure tee-time availability. Proof of handicap required.

Lottie Woad: 21-year-old Woad burst onto the professional scene in July, with wins in the Women’s Irish Open (as an amateur) and three weeks later in the Women’s Scottish Open (as a professional). She nearly picked-up a major championship, placing third in The Evian in the same month.
