Ross on Wye Golf Club
Two Park, Gorsley, Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, HR9 7UT
Ross-on-Wye Golf Club is actually in England and was founded in 1903. The club's present course which, despite the tranquillity is actually quite close to the M50, dates from the mid 1960s when it was laid out by C.K. Cotton, architect of nearby St Pierre.
Ross-on-Wye is a very scenic and quite undulating woodland type golf course, its fairways bordered by a rich variety of silver birch trees, oaks and pines: you can play a round here and only rarely see another group of golfers so self-contained are the holes.
As the above comment implies, Ross-on-Wye is a course that rewards straight hitting, a feature compounded by the generally small and slick nature of the putting surfaces. Measuring close to 6500 yards, the layout includes a number of cleverly designed short par fours and, on the back nine in particular, a series of strong, 420-yards plus holes - overall, a nice balance of charm and challenge.
Previously the Club never possessed more than a wooden Clubhouse, but now enjoys a fine two-storey building, with a veranda, giving splendid views of the ninth and eighteenth holes.
