The
COMPETITION to decide the layout of the 13 holes has now ended.
The winner was Andy Hanks - his order will be used (with a few last-minute tweaks) and he will receive a prize on the 22nd January when the new holes are officially opened. |
"Twilight" golf Visitors can play 9 holes (accompanied by a Member) at the end of the playing day, no more than 2 hours before sundown. Cost - £7. This is, of course of more interest in the Spring and Summer, when visitors only have time, perhaps after work, to play 9 holes. |

| Drax Golf Club is a private Golf Club, with a 9-hole course, soon to be 13-hole. The course currently has 1 par 5, 6 par 4's, and 2 par 3's; there are 11 tees to give some variety. We are planning a further 4 holes, 3 of which are being paid for by Sport England - see Development to 13 holes and News. |

The land on which
the course is located was originally used by the Power Station during
its construction. After extensive landscaping, including the planting
of a large variety and number of trees, the course was officially
opened in 1990. |
