Protecting Our Future: A Guide to the New Local Rule for Young Trees

To protect our 5,300+ newly planted trees, Drax Golf Club has officially adopted Local Rule E-10. All young trees identified by stakes or deer tubes are now designated "No Play Zones". If a protected tree interferes with your stance or swing, you must take free relief under Rule 16.1f.

Embrace the Chill: Understanding Winter Golf at Drax Golf Club

The course is now non-qualifying for WHS scores. This tough decision protects Drax's financial security. England Golf requires mats to be mandatory if scores are qualifying, but a mat mandate severely impacted our green fees. By going non-qualifying, we protect the course and the club's future. Please still use mats to help the course! Enjoy pressure-free golf and focus on keeping your game sharp until spring.
