Probably the best 9-hole course in Yorkshire.
Drax Golf Club is a private Golf Club, with
a 9 hole course, soon to become 13 holes. The course currently
has 1 par 5, 6 par 4's and 2 par 3's; there are 11 tees to give some
variety. We are opening a further 4 holes as soon as we are able,
3 of which were paid for by Sport England - see Development
to
13 holes and 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 predominantly flat.
The Clubhouse is situated opposite Drax Power Station, some 6 miles south of Selby - see the Map.
Subscriptions - The current subs are - adults £260, family (ie the second or more adult(s) in a family) pay £234. Juniors pay £60 and students (ie over 18's in further education) pay £130. There is also a compulsory subscription to the Sports & Social Club of £25 (£12.50 for over 65's). Members are now taken on via a "rolling program", 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 six months.
We have a total of just over 400 Members, with a thriving Juniors Section of around 40 Juniors, and around 30 in the Ladies Section. We try to keep total Membership to reasonable numbers to ensure that there is no overcrowding.
