Oswestry Golf Club

Distance from Hotel - 22 miles, No of Courses 1

Oswestry golf course is easily found, located as it is just off the A5. A parkland course, it was designed by legendary golf course designer and landscape architect James Braid, responsible for some of the most prestigious courses and challenging holes in the country. It is unsurprising, therefore, that Oswestry is notorious for being demanding, irrespective of the golfer's ability or stature.

Like so many of the courses in the county, it is relatively small - its eighteen holes measure only 6038 yards off the white tees - but this par 70 is not to be underestimated. A good accurate drive is essential in order to negotiate the difficult fairways, and well-considered club choice is vital also to reach the green without too much difficulty.

Shorter but no less demanding the Sapphire course at 5700 yards presents quite a different test for Golfers of any standard.

Alan Strange drew up the course on farmland owned by his family since the 1960s, and his experience as a competitive golfer has ensured that the testing 4220 yard layout, with its small, but strategically situated greens asks real questions of any player’s short game.

Built on 35 acres which rise and fall through stunningly beautiful countryside, the course optimises the scenic nature of the site and the par 66 course plays longer than the card suggests.
