stanton on the wolds golf club
Nottingham,
The original architect of this interesting and scenic 18 hole parkland course,
Tom Williamson, left a supreme legacy at Stanton, demonstrating how golf and
nature can blend harmoniously. The course has an enviable reputation of being in
excellent condition throughout the year and in addition has some of the purest
greens in the county. As you approach the Club, on the left of the main drive
you will find the driving range, a newly developed chipping and bunker play area
and of course a practice putting green. Just the ticket to hone your skills
prior to starting your round. Arranged in a double loop, the par 73 course
offers a mix of tricky par threes, some long par fours which can test even the
longer hitter and interestingly finishes with two par fives. The tree lined
tight fairways reward accurate shots and punish those off line. This coupled
with strategically placed bunkers and some elevated tight greens make this a
true test of golf for players of all abilities. The first nine holes offers the
chance to build a good score offering a number of birdie opportunities - if you
play accurate iron shots to the greens. However the back nine can soon claw back
birdies made, with holes 13 to 18 always proving a good test particularly in the
prevailing wind.
