The Kendleshire Golf Club: Like the nearby Players Club, this is another relatively new and very good parkland layout, offering a good test of your overall golf game in a pleasant rural environment.
Laid out on gently undulating terrain, which is not tiring to walk, this is quite a technically demanding course, requiring good course management. Water is a dangerous hazard on many holes, not least at the island-green par-3 11th, and on the approach shot to the water-defended par-4 16th green.
Trees of many varieties, from apple to oak, and a wonderful array of bushes and shrubs (with lots of gorse in the mix) ensures there is plenty of flora lining the generally good-width and nicely undulating fairways. At times the flowering shrubs lend a colourful and almost garden-like feel to proceedings. Greenside and fairway bunkering is also a strong feature here; the large shallow bunkering providing something of a US-feel to some of the holes.
On this 27-hole layout, the 9-hole Badminton section is the most recent and the shortest nine; the Hollows and Ruffet nines provide the most challenging combination. From all parts of the course there are pleasant views onto surrounding rural countryside.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Handicap required.
Soft spikes only. Players generally walk this course. Golf carts available for hire.
