Extra info
In the early 1990’s the course extended to 18 holes and now covers a large area of ground from the Don basin, overlooked by the clubhouse, to mature woodland at the far perimeter, giving an interesting contrast between the ‘old and new nines’. Excellent drainage results in very few days of lost play throughout the year.
Although not as long as some – measuring 6019 yards from the medal tees – the course means the visitor cannot afford to be overconfident. The course is a mixture of hilly parkland, and holes lined by trees and criss-crossed by burns producing some very interesting and tricky holes.
Having climbed the hill at the second hole and completed the third it is time to embark on the new part of the course which is bordered by forestry commission land giving shelter from the elements.
Returning to the old nine, the remaining six holes are shorter but not to be taken lightly. The reward for the golfer will be spectacular views over the River Don stretching away to Bennac
