102 - Lindrick Golf Club

Location: Worksop, England

Rating: 7.8

One of the more esteemed courses in the Midlands and a price tag to match, Lindrick is ranked in the top 100 courses in the UK. Very nicely designed course with many holes that are independent to each other.

I played here towards the end of May and what had been quite a wet month but the course was in very good condition, the fairways were hard and you got quite a lot of run on your tee shots and the greens were very fast and found quite tough to read. Having said that the bunkers were rock hard, had a very thin layer of sand.

Some very cool holes throughout the course, 4 is a par 5 with a dog leg to the right, a good drive and long iron and you can get to the green, there’s a sharp drop to the green. The 5th is a blind drive up a hill to the fairway. The 13th is a downhill dog leg left where you can bomb a long drive and the 18th is a lovely par 3 with the clubhouse as the backdrop. Tip here is to hit short of the greens as many fairways run down to them and the greens are quite firm so your ball tends to run on through. 

The quality of the course was good but wouldn’t say the fairways were in amazing condition and felt it was quite steep for £125

Lindrick has an old traditional clubhouse and really good facilities with a wide driving range, big putting green and practice chipping area with bunkers to practice in as well. Must say the members were all very friendly and invited us for a drink after the round.
