Get ready, golf fans—Woodhall Spa is set to host the World Deaf Golf Championship in 2028, and it’s happening on none other than the legendary Hotchkin Course.
If you know anything about golf, you know that this is like hitting the jackpot of golf venues. The Hotchkin Course isn’t just another stretch of fairways and greens; it’s a true masterpiece, blending challenge and charm in every hole. In 2028, it will serve as the perfect stage for the world’s best deaf golfers to display their skill, determination, and passion for the game.
Landing this event is a huge win for Woodhall Spa, which is rapidly becoming the go-to place for major golf tournaments. With the World Deaf Golf Championship 2028 now on the schedule, Woodhall Spa has firmly made its mark on the global golf scene.
Brad Gould, the guy running the show as Managing Director of The National Golf Centre at Woodhall Spa, couldn’t be happier. “We are incredibly honoured to be selected to host the 2028 World Deaf Golf Championship.
This is not just a significant event for our club but for the entire community,” he says. And he’s right. Hosting this championship isn’t just about bringing in the best players; it’s about putting inclusivity and accessibility front and centre, right where they belong.
Gould adds, “We are committed to inclusivity and accessibility in the sport, and hosting this championship is a reflection of our dedication to these values.”
This isn’t just lip service. Woodhall Spa is ready to throw open its doors, welcome the world, and show everyone that golf is for all, not just a select few. And that’s something to be proud of.”
Rod Oaten, Chair of England Deaf Golf, shares in the excitement, calling this “a significant milestone for deaf golf in England.”
It’s not just about showcasing the talent of deaf golfers; it’s about bringing the community together in a place that feels like home.
“We’re excited to bring the global deaf golf community together in such a prestigious setting, and this event will undoubtedly inspire future generations of deaf athletes,” he adds. You can almost feel the buzz already.
And it’s not just England Deaf Golf that’s fired up. Nick Brookes, Chair of UK Deaf Sport, says, “Securing the World Deaf Golf Championships for 2028 is a proud moment for deaf sport in the UK.”
It’s more than just a tournament—it’s a moment to shine a light on the incredible talent within the deaf community and to break down any barriers that say otherwise.
“This event will not only highlight the exceptional talent within the deaf community but also promote inclusivity and inspire more deaf individuals to get involved in sport at all levels,” Brookes explains.
