One of the best courses in England

Card image

A top-quality golf course

Regarded as something rather special by its famed English architects Donald Steel & Martin Ebert, this course is one of the finest that they created.

The Palmerston is frequently held up as a perfect example of a top-quality golf course created with minimum intrusion to the site.

In contrast to the Melbourne, on the tree lined Palmerston you don’t have to contend with the river at all, instead the Estate’s ancient woodland of rare Hornbeam, Scots and Corsican Pine and 500-year-old Oak trees create some of the most spectacular hazards likely to be encountered on a golf course.

Teamed with fiendishly placed bunkers and large undulating greens this challenging par 73 is a great test and is rightfully rated as one of the best courses in England.

Pro Tip

A drive down the right side of the fairway is best. Take plenty of club to carry the bunker which is 10 yards short of the green.
