Drax golf signage

Hi

I haven't played Drax for a couple of years, but I was very impressed with the condition of the course. The only criticism is the signage to each tee. It is easy to get lost, and we met a couple of elderly gentlemen who were struggling to find their next tee. Please add better and more signs to each tee.

Definitely would not play again!

There’s a 5 minute walk down the main road to the course from parking facilities, shared tees for some of the holes which you play twice which just leads to pace of play being dreadful! The course wasn’t in bad condition but would not advise anyone to play here unless you like sitting round waiting for 10 minutes to play the same hole you have already played

A Lovely Course

It's called "Yorkshire's Hidden Gem" and it is. A lovely course with really good greens. Only 12 holes but play 6 twice mostly from different tee boxes. A really good challenge .

Not a proper 18 hole course

We didn’t really like the course. A long walk from car park to first tee. Some greens shared and tee s played from twice. It’s not a proper 18 hole course

Avoid until we’ve had a heatwave!

The course should’ve been closed, the course was waterlogged in most places. The fairways weren’t cut, so it was like playing out of rough. Greens were pretty decent to be fair to the greenkeeper. Would probably be an enjoyable course in the summer months

First time at ciurse

Taking into account its February the course played okay. Tees are temporary winter boxes. Fairways a bit boggy(winter after all) greens a but unpredictable but very playable. First experience of the course would definitely play it again and would definitely recommend it. Even the local members are very helpful

Hidden Gem

I saw some reviews on this course and to say all the relentless winter weather we have had I played this course on both Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve and the course did not disappoint, despite all the rain we’ve had the course was still in excellent condition, 18 full greens which were in superb condition, as expected it was wet in places but nothing too treacherous. Overall this is becoming one of my favourite courses to play, a lot of challenging holes and a lot of risk and reward. Highly recommended

A Hidden Gem they say on their website. It certainly is

With all the rain, and most of the usual courses I play at all shut or on temps and holes closed, I tried this place. Drax golf club. The members were very friendly and helpful. The course, given the bad weather recently was in good condition. Wet in places but where isn't these days ? Greens were in good condition in these winter months. It's clear they have spent money on the course and looked after it. Well signed, ball cleaners. Layout of 12 holes to do the remainder twice is on usual but holes have plenty of variety. Not an easy course, plenty to think about. Will come back again definitely.
