Belton Woods Scramble 2025

Scramble Golf Event at Belton Woods: A Day of Rain and Remarkable Play

The Scramble Golf Event at Belton Woods on the stunning Lakes Course certainly lived up to its reputation, despite the unpredictable weather. On the morning of the event, golfers were greeted by heavy rain that soaked the course and added a new layer of challenge to the day’s competition. While some players struggled with the wet conditions, others managed to rise to the occasion, turning the soggy fairways into their own personal stage for great performances.

The Lakes Course, known for its scenic views and tricky water hazards, proved to be both beautiful and testing for all participants. The rain didn’t deter the golfers, who embraced the challenge with determination, navigating through puddles, slick greens, and unpredictable conditions. However, it did make for a slower pace, and some players found themselves battling the elements as much as they were battling their own skills.

But amidst the soggy conditions, the camaraderie of the players shone through, and the event ended with a display of fantastic teamwork and individual feats. Now, let’s get to the exciting part: the prize winners!
