Cheltenham

Frank Lennox, the first curator of Victoria Golf Club, designed the 9-hole layout for Cheltenham Golf Club in 1930. Featuring couch fairways and bentgrass greens, this is a tight little tree-lined track that offers a true test of golf.

Occupying a very restricted property that encompasses around only 40 acres, the course plays to a total length of around 2,750 metres, playing to a par of 35, which comprises only one par five and two par threes. There are two sets of tees on every hole so players wishing to play eighteen holes can go round twice.

Highlight holes include the very short par three 6th (with out of bounds to the left); the severely left doglegging par five 7th (which plays round the adjacent sports ground); and the par four closing hole (the longest 2-shotter on the card) were the fairway bends slightly right off the tee towards the home green.
