History Overview 1983-2009

From arable prairie to golf and woodland 1983 - 2009

The story of how Hoods Links and Hoods Woods developed at Greys Green Farm out of 400 acres of arable prairie - despite the concerted efforts of Rotherfield Greys, Rotherfield Peppard and South Oxfordshire District Council - will unfold in this section

The golf history will stir some (fond, we hope) memories of the early days among those of you who played our simple Par 3 nine holes in 1992

Many of you walked the footpaths through the endless corn and ploughed fields in the 80's and have seen the woodland and public access develop since then - we hope that your walks are more extensive and more enjoyable now
