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.
