You may think a 12 hole, ex Power Station course may be short of great challenges. Drax is a real hidden gem, lovely course with some testing holes. There are some lovely walks & even the towers added some "atmosphere" to the surroundings but it is great how the trees now camouflage them in the middle of the course.

very good course with open approaches, ground is a little soft underfoot but all holes are well maintained and greens are in good shape.

Been at the club now as a member for approximately 3 months,the course is very good and gives you a fair chance to score. There are plenty of risk and reward holes, and several holes which you need to play target golf to set up the birdie chance.Personally, I would suggest that a draw bias would be an advantage here, as 7th, 9th/18th, & the 13th all need to be played accordingly.

Having played the course on several occasions, it has warmed to me. There are quite a few holes that are risk and reward holes,giving you the oppertunity from the tee,to decide weather you wish to go for it ,"so to speak" the first two holes are driveable, but you have to be very accurate, I just hit 2 Iron,& wedge,for savety, on each occasion.You will actually play the first two holes again on the back nine, the first from a slightly different angle. With this course being only 12 holes, you will play the, 1st,2nd,5th,6th,7th,& 9th,twice, however the 7th becomes a par5 on the second loop. The course which had been a 9 hole configeration initally,It has had 3 new holes added, all of which merit respect. Overall if you hit fairly straight and can hold your nerve, its well worth a visit.I would gladly recommend it.

Only 12 holes so you play some holes twice but I enjoyed it. Interesting holes with raised tees/greens and in good condition. Friendly clubhouse.

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.

Fairways terrible
Played at Drax in early Autumn after the hot summer and the greens were in fantastic condition but the fairways were terrible completely bald in several areas and very very patchy they had obviously been cut far too short during the drought and had basically died off badReviewer Rating

Course plays well, however there tends to be some very ignorant folk playing - Zipping balls around you with no shout, dont bother ringing any bells, loud around the course/poor golfing etiquette. 3 out of the 4 times I have been sadly.

Played after a very dry spell of weather and have to say the greens were the best I've played on all year and the rest of the course was in nothing short of exceptional condition.

The course is in very good condition and challenging as mostly tight with some blind greens. A bit of a bottleneck at times but the course was busy and not too many hold ups. Would certainly consider joining, as the terms are very favourable at the moment, if I wasn\'t a member elsewhere
