The Codrington course is just over 7000 yards from the Black tee's and dips down to 6000 yards from the yellow tee's so what ever your handicap your sure to enjoy your round. At times the Codrington course is almost 'links like' in appearance and on other holes lakes border their entirety. You will encounter several tiger lines where big hitters can try their luck carrying bunkers plus there are plenty of options for those that want to preserve their score, but beware of the 3rd hole though, both drive and second shot need to carry water!

Barbados GC - Magnificent trees strategically planted 25 years ago on the original development and the more recent landscape treatments blend together to give the course a mix of both mature ambience and contemporary feel. Two lakes intrude and enhance play on five holes and create a dramatic 'Amen Corner' on holes 15 & 16. A series of coral waste bunkers carved through 4 holes adds to the excitement and personality of the course.

Cannons Brook Golf Club

Harlow,Essex,England,CM19 5BE

36 Hole Stableford Competition

Situated in 112 acres of mature rolling countryside the 18 hole, 6769 yard, par 73 championship length course makes excellent use of the surrounding landscape and its numerous natural and man-made hazards and beautiful features. The course was designed by Sir Henry Cotton, whose philosophy was to create a championship length course with very little rough, but incorporating many bunkers and large undulating greens, a task he accomplished in style.  The course was opened in 1966. A broad repertoire of shots are required to master the course, which demands that every golfer regardless of standard, is rewarded for thoughtful and skilful play rather than for power alone

Woodland Manor Golf Club

West Kingsdown,  Sevenoaks,  Kent

36 Hole Stableford Competition

Kent is well known for some of the finest golf courses in England-links or parkland. Woodlands Manor, near Otford, is one of the many beautiful parkland courses in the Kent. What sets it apart? What makes it a little bit more special than the other fine courses and clubs in the area?

 

Let's start with location. Woodlands Manor lies in the triangle formed by the M20, M25, and M26. Yet once you leave one of these motorways and you begin the short journey to Woodlands, you enter a different world. Or, to be more specific, you enter an official Area of Natural Beauty. Woodlands lies half way up a stunning valley on the North Downs.


ACGA vs. Cypriot Golf Society

Old Fold Manor GC

Thursday 23rd July

Ascot, Berkshire, England, SL5 8LT

 

18 Holes Pairs & 18 holes singles Competition

Our superb heathland course has some of the finest and quickest greens in Hertfordshire, breathtaking views and is a challenge for all levels of golfer.

That 6th fairway, 5th green and 2nd tee are now known as Sunset Fields, so called because of their magnificent evening skies. It is also where golf was played unofficially by the locals as far back as 1880. Unofficially because the land was owned by the Earl of Strafford, who lived at the nearby stately home known as Wrotham Park. He was the man who decided to build a proper golf course on what is a freakish "fold" of unproductive sand and gravel among the surrounding luxuriant clay.
