Royal Worlington and Newmarket Golf Club
Worlington, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, IP28 8SD United Kingdom
The golf course was founded in 1893 and is the home course of Cambridge University. Its 9 holes are laid on gently undulating sandy-based soil that drains well all the year round. It is an excellent winter course because temporary greens are not needed. Royal Worlington has been called the best 9 hole course in the world; while this may be debatable, it is a fact that it regularly appears in the top 100 golf course lists of various magazines.
A modest opening par 5 is followed by a tricky, long par 3 of 220 yards. The 3rd is a short but difficult par 4 requiring accuracy of both tee and approach shot, surely one of the best golf holes anywhere. The 4th is an interesting par 5, requiring a deft touch on the approach. The 5th is a short par 3 where embarrassingly high scores are commonplace - you have to play it to appreciate the perils. The 6th is a great par 4 over 460 yards long, the 7th a par 3 normally played in a crosswind across a valley to a lightning fast green. The 8th is another par 4 over 460 yards long, with well-placed bunkers waiting for the unwary player. The 9th is a short par 4 where caution pays dividends, and then the Clubhouse beckons enticingly with its hospitality and refreshments. Book a Tee Time
