Drax Golf Club is a private Golf Club, with a 9-hole course. The course has 1 par 5, 6 par 4's, and 2 par 3's; there are 11 tees to give some variety. We are planning 3 further holes, to be paid for by Sport England - see Development to 12 holes or 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.

The legacy, from the area's history, is a most interesting course with gently sloping fairways and picturesque views which are unexpected as the surrounding area is predominently flat.

As last season, we have close on 500 Members, with a thriving Junior, and a small Ladies Section. We try to keep total Membership to reasonable numbers, to ensure that there is no overcrowding; if there are vacancies, we now allow new Members to enroll at any time, for the full 12 months; there is a credit system so that payment can be spread over a long period.

Where are we? The Clubhouse is situated opposite Drax Power Station, some 6 miles south of Selby - see the Map.

Green Fees (per day) Adults £12 and £6 for Juniors in summer, £8 / £4 in winter. We welcome visitors, although they must be accompanied by a Member, except by special arrangement with our Secretary, telephone 01757 617228 or email her. (See Like to visit? - A special offer! also).

Corporate and Society days Corporate and Society Days can be accommodated - contact our Secretary, telephone 01757 617228 or email her.

The Clubhouse is open from 11am 'til 11pm (or later on special occasions). Food is served, and on Sundays there is a carvery betwen 12am and 3 pm
There are snooker and pool tables and a well-stocked gymnasium, together with bowls, fishing and a lively series of dance/entertainments at weekends. 

Subscriptions For the 2008 - 2009 season, upped at the February 2008 AGM, are - adults  £250, family (ie the second or more adult(s) in a family) pay £225. Juniors continue to pay £50 and students (ie over-18s in further education) pay £125. There is also a compulsory subscription to the Sports and Social Club of £24 (£12 for retired persons). Members are now taken on via a "rolling programme", ie golfers can join at any time, and their year will start from that date; there is also a credit system so that payment can be spread over a long period.
