A True Test of Golf
Worksop Golf Club offers more than just a lengthy course; its true challenges lie in the tightness of the holes. Lined with silver birch, gorse, and bracken, each hole demands strategic shot placement rather than relying solely on power. Golfers soon discovered that using the driver on every occasion may not always be the wisest choice. The damp conditions added an additional layer of complexity, but the firm nature of the fairways provided surprising distances, with long irons and three-woods often traveling further than expected.
