Corporate activities range from Clay Shooting, Archery, Air Pistol Shooting, Rage Buggies, 4×4 Driving, Tractor Driving, Falconry, Hovercraft driving to Team Building Exercises and our Ropes Course and Raft Building.

Attended as part of business strategy & team building day. Sited just of the M40 so very easy to get to. Well signposted with plenty of parking. We were in the great barn. Great entrance hall for everyone to gather in. Breakfast of bacon rolls,tea & coffee provided to give a great start to the day. Separate function room with fantastic seating & projection presentation facilities. Tea , coffee & biscuits provided during break. Great buffet lunch served. During breakfast, tea & lunch all dietary requirements were catered for. Our group contained both vegan & gluten free. Following lunch we were split in to several groups for the team building part of the day. Each activity had its own instructor who were very professional. The activities were also well thought out & the equipment was of great quality & unlike some facilities there was a very low risk around health & safety. I strongly recommend this venue if you are planning an similar event to ours. There was also a bar that we did not use but I expect that this place would also be a fantastic venue for small wedding parties or family parties.

Tadmarton Heath Golf Club

Reviewed By 630daveo

We played between Christmas and new year when Tadmarton was almost the only playable course in Oxfordshire! Despaired the heavy rain in the preceding weeks, the course was in great condition. We had to play off mats, which I understand was to help the fairways complete their recovery from the damage caused in 2018 by the very long hot summer, but this didn’t spoil our experience. The course is not long, but is challenging and every shot requires some thought. I loved the “natural” feel to the course - it has all the very best qualities of an English heathland layout. The absolute icing on the cake was the welcome we received in the clubhouse. The menu was limited due to the Christmas period but even so, the food was great quality and the staff and other members were a pleasure to meet. I would highly recommend this great golf club and will definitely be back - in fact several of us are considering membership
