We are very proud of our reputation as one of the oldest and finest heathland golf courses in Great Britain and are currently rated 84th best in the British Isles and 35th in England. The course was intially designed by Harry Colt and subsequently enhanced by James Braid.

Only four years later we record courtesy of the course being granted to Officers of the Scottish Highland Infantry Regiments in trench warfare training camps adjacent to the twelfth tee. The 'Clipstone Camp Cup' and the 'Scottish Trophy', donated by these Officers, are amongst our most revered treasures.

As a general rule we are renowned for our 'most excellent' greens and a long, demanding turn for home. Very rarely will your 'second half' score better the first.
