49 - The Nottinghamshire Golf & Country Club (Championship)

Location: Nottingham, England

Rating: 7.6

Driving in the course gives you the feel of a proper golf club with a very impressive, almost brand new club house. The club has 2 courses, the Championship and Signature and is where my parents are members but am yet to play both courses.

Playing The Championship course with my dad was good fun. Apart from a smattering of water, it isn't the most challenging course with generously wide fairways and thin lines of trees bordering the fairways. It is also quite short at only 5,300 meters off the men's tees.

At the time of playing they were doing quite a lot of work to bring the quality of the course up so would be eager to go back and see how that progressed. Generally had the feeling that there could be a little more intrigue to the course, many of the holes are relatively straight forward.

With good practice facilities, including a high tech driving range with monitors free to use it is a great place to come and practice. Need to make a trip back to see how it has developed.
