York Golf Club (Yorkshire)

Geen al te vriendelijke ontvangst. Een mooie baan in een fraaie omgeving. Fairways goed, greens heel goed en snel. Niet al te lastig te spelen en met mooi weer een fijne ervaring. Ik zou er niet voor omrijden maar als je in de buurt bent prima.

The fast running land that York Golf Club is laid out over makes for some enjoyable holes. It's not as demanding as its distinguished neighbour located just a few miles across the City but the par of 70 makes for a true test of golf.

It's a course with few forced carries and hazards placed strategically down the fairways. As one elderly member remarked on my last visit, "You can play here until you are in your nineties. "

Strensall has got a lot going for it. It's a fair course where good shots are rewarded and if you do stray off line there is usually a chance for recovery.

It's a shame there isn't more of a heathland feel to it as this would enhance the course greatly but regardless this is still one course I always look forward to playing.
