Rotherham Golf Club

How many golf clubs can boast a Masters champion among their members?

Rotherham is home to Danny Willett who held his homecoming press conference at its imposing neo-Gothic clubhouse after he was the surprise winner of the green jacket in 2016.

We signed up for a charity day at the beginning of autumn when the course held up well after recent heavy rain.

Many of the holes are tree-lined and picturesque and several require long approaches.

For me, the stand-out feature was the quality of the greens and the most memorable holes were the long downhill par-three ninth and the dogleg par-four 18th which had the clubhouse as their backdrops.

every hole different proves a golf course does not have to be too long to have a challenge plays more on accuracy than length very good test for all golfers.

Rotherham is a really enjoyable parkland golf course located in the heart of South Yorkshire.

The layout of the holes is very interesting and the changes in elevation, on this established tree-lined property, are negotiated nicely.

The greens can be terrifying when quick as they slope quite a lot. They complement the relatively short nature of the course nicely and will often dictate your final score.
