I have
been a member at Burton on Trent Golf Club for the last 15
years.
The course improves year on year primarily because of a significant
tree planting scheme which has now produced semi mature trees,
resulting in a requirement for tighter drives. The rough is
tough rather than punishing and the fairways are excellent.
Greens are not the fastest but are generally true and play
well for most of the year.
Make your score on the front 9 as the way home commences with
2 long par 3's uphill to well bunkered greens, split by a
short dogleg par 4 which should be easy! From 14 in the course
plays long and difficult. A challenge for any golfer! Steve Turner
Burton golf club is now (July 2005) in its best condition
EVER!
It has always been a good track with some long par 4's (holes
5, 14,16 and 17) and difficult par 3's (holes 10 and 12),
but the manucuring and definition of fringes and fairways
along with true fast greens have turned this course into a
real jewel.
if you are off the fairways, you'll find your ball but are
likely to drop a shot escaping from the maturing trees.
Well worth a visit. Steve Turner July 1, 2005
The course is set in lovely surroundings however the condition
of the greens was a little disappointing. The last is a superb
hole and am sure it looks a picture in the summer, nice clubhouse
too. Chris Brotherton May 8, 2006
