About Witney Lakes Resort

Set on the edge of the Cotswolds just outside Witney, Witney Lakes Resort brings together championship golf, contemporary wellness facilities and relaxed dining in an attractive lakeside setting.

Designed as a destination where active days and restorative moments naturally coexist, the resort appeals equally to golfers, spa-goers, fitness enthusiasts and those looking for an easy countryside escape. A significant investment in recent years has elevated both the health club and wellness facilities, creating one of Oxfordshire’s most complete leisure resorts.


Golf

Golf remains at the heart of the resort. The 18-hole championship course winds through mature parkland, with five lakes and more than 50 strategically placed bunkers creating a layout that rewards thoughtful course management as much as power. Designed by Simon Gidman, the course offers an enjoyable challenge for golfers of all abilities while maintaining a welcoming atmosphere for visitors and members alike.

Practice facilities are equally impressive, featuring a 20-bay Toptracer driving range alongside dedicated chipping, bunker and putting areas. Whether refining technique, enjoying a social round or participating in a golf day, the facilities make Witney Lakes one of Oxfordshire’s most accessible golfing destinations.


Spa

The spa provides a peaceful counterpoint to the sporting facilities, offering a menu of Elemis treatments designed to restore both body and mind. Skilled therapists deliver everything from relaxing massages and advanced facials to beauty treatments, while the dedicated treatment suites create a calm retreat overlooking the resort.

Guests can extend the experience by making use of the thermal facilities, including the sauna, steam room, hydro pool and heated indoor swimming pool, making the spa equally suited to a full wellness day or post-golf relaxation.


Health & Fitness

Following a major refurbishment, the health club has become one of the resort’s standout attractions. A spacious Technogym-equipped fitness suite forms the centrepiece, complemented by an extensive programme of instructor-led classes ranging from high-intensity workouts to Pilates, yoga and cycling sessions.

The wellness offering extends beyond traditional fitness, with personal training, AI-powered wellbeing assessments, swimming, aqua classes and recovery facilities all designed to support long-term health rather than simply exercise. Membership also provides access to The Club Company’s nationwide collection of country clubs.


Dining

After a round of golf, a workout or a spa treatment, the resort’s lakeside dining venues provide a relaxed setting to unwind. Seasonal menus, casual lunches, coffee and drinks can all be enjoyed with views across the course and surrounding lakes, making the restaurants and bars popular with both members and day visitors alike.


Venue Hire

From elegant weddings and milestone celebrations to corporate events and private dining, Witney Lakes Resort offers a collection of flexible event spaces overlooking tranquil lakes and rolling fairways. Accommodating gatherings of up to 200 guests, the resort combines stylish suites, private bars and bespoke catering with experienced event planning to create memorable occasions. Whether hosting an intimate afternoon tea, a business meeting or a grand celebration, every event is tailored with personalised service and seasonal menus to suit the style and scale of the occasion.


The Experience

Witney Lakes Resort successfully blends country club traditions with modern wellness, creating a destination that feels equally suited to an early morning tee time, an afternoon in the spa or a full day focused on health and fitness. Its combination of quality sporting facilities, contemporary wellness spaces, versatile event facilities and scenic surroundings makes it one of Oxfordshire’s most complete leisure destinations.
