douglas valley golf club
In August 1996 Douglas Valley Golf Club opened its 9 holes golf course, designed
by local renowned course designer Jeff Shuttleworth and constructed by South
African Craig Cooke who reconstructed parts of the famous Loch Lomond course in
Scotland and the Valderama course in Spain. The course is built to US
specification with pure sand greens, the only one of its kind in the area, the
par 32 course features 3 purpose built lakes and the river Douglas splits the
course in two which makes for interesting and sometimes challenging play, it is
an ideal course for the beginner who can play safe or the more adventurous
challenger. Never a more tranquil setting could be found in the area with the
beautiful Pennine hills as a backdrop and littered with wildlife from Canada
Geese to the ever illusive Deer which if you are very lucky can be seen from
time to time
