We took our golf society to Drax last Sunday what a fantastic course it certainly does live up to the name of Yorkshires hidden gem.
When we arrived at the social club car park to be met by Alan he took time to explain everything to us and was also there to meet us at the first tee to explain everything about the course .
Kevin who I had been in contact with throughout our booking was away on holiday but took the time to ring Alan and make sure everything was perfect on the day .
The course is an absolute credit to everyone involved Volunteers, Members and greenkeepers.

Exactly what golf should be
As an experienced golfer I can say that this course is very well maintained, an excellent routing with fun and memorable golf holes. However, I was compelled to leave this review because of the fantastic attitude of the staff at Drax (specifically Kevin Harrison). I played this course with my girlfriend for her first time on a golf course. Upon arrival I’ve never felt so welcomed at a golf club. Kevin introduced himself to me and my girlfriend, figured out the best way for us to get onto the course with as little pressure as possible (not easy given a club competition was going on), and all in all made my girlfriend feel at home on the golf course. He came and checked in with us as he walked past after 4 or so holes to check that we were enjoying ourselves.People like Kevin are exactly what golf needs right now to ensure that ladies feel welcomed into the golf world. Had my girlfriend had a different experience she may have walked away from the game, but instead she enjoyed herself thoroughly and is keen to play again.

This is the 2nd time I've played drax and wow it was in fabulous condition today with the greens being receptive and rolling true ,its not the longest course so game management is needed if you want a low score but it was a joy to play.Reviewer Rating

Hidden Beauty
Having heard from numerous sources of a "beautiful little course" just South of Selby I decided to give Drax a go. Not expecting too much initial, I was soon surprised to find what I would call a hidden beauty which needs the word spreading about.The greens were fantastic and it was clear to see the greens staff taking great pride in their work as the tee boxes and fairways were also immaculate. There are a few querky holes with ponds and hazards to catch you out if you get complacent.
Definitely a recommend and I am telling everyone I know about it!

TEX WILLIAMSON.
I have been playing this course for several years now, however each time I have played it "depending on the weather conditions " it plays so different. The new green keeper MARK SNEEP as really taken the course to new levels, and I can not wait for the summer period with the work he has done on the greens to take fruition. So congratulations to everyone of the many people who have been working on the course since the begining of the year, I for one thank you.Reviewer Rating

Visiting the Drax website they refer to the course as "Yorkshire's Hidden Gem" and to my surprise, they were right! Tucked away south of Selby I was very surprised at the course I had stumbled upon. The presentation of the course was fantastic with nicely manicured fairways and greens. the greens were a little slow but when speaking to a member of the committee who was very helpful in showing me around, I was made aware that a lot of maintenance had taken place in the past couple of weeks to get the greens in shape for the height of the season. My honest opinion is that the greens were some of the best I have played thus far in 2017 so I would love to see what they are like in the summer! This course turned out to be very quirky with some tight shots off the tee to nice wide fairways playing into difficult greens with very subtle movements that certainly tested you. The second hole is a great example of this where the green looks relatively flat, was I wrong! looking at the hole everything rolls left to right, and fast, even single handicappers would do well to stop a ball on that green, it is a real beauty. Another nice touch is the practise putting green and driving net which I didn't expect to see. It certainly helps blow off any cobwebs in a morning!] In all, I could go on about my amazing day at Drax, but in short, this is a must play course and one that I would come back to again and again

What a lovely surprise.A nice course with some good features and pretty holes.
Still testing for the lower handicappers due to tight fairways and fast greens

A course that is a test of golf for low handicappers, but perfectly playable for all abilities. The holes are all different with dykes, ponds and bunkers to keep you on your toes! The greens are excellent and the course is very well kept. New signage around the course has helped with navigation. Don't forget the attached social club has excellent food and drink available all day. I will definitely visit again!

Great course with huge potential to develop. This is a course that suits good golfers with tight lies, large, firm and true greens that are the best I have played on this year!
Use your head around the course and anywhere near par is a good score.

Very good tight interesting course. Need to think about every shot as not a big hitters paradise.looks to have nice well stocked clubhouse with decently priced meals and good ales. Would love to be member here if a bit closer to home.

a short course to be sure but a really interesting one,accuracy is the key here and a small fade/draw can sometimes be of benefit on a few of the longer holes.the layout is cleverly designed playing some of the holes twice from different tees,a really enjoyable round and the greens were superb very quick and held the line niceley
