Burton on trent Golf club

[richardchapman]

Just wondering if anyone had any views on Burton on trent as a club, its very local to work so will be ideal and from what I have heard its a great course in good condition. They seem to be trying to attract younger members by the looks of it and as i'm 21 they are offering some great rates so its certainly looking positive.

I am yet to play it but planning on having a round or two at the end of March before I part with any money but anyone on here a member or played it with view positive or negative.

Just after as much information as I can get as it will be my first club.

Great course mate. I am from Chesterfield so it is not that far from me. Played it a couple of years ago and in my opinion it is miles better than some of the other big names nearby like Morley Hayes, Breadsall and Horsley Lodge, what it is like to be a member there though I cant help you on that one.

I have not played it but have a number of friends that are members or have played it. It sounds like a very good course and enjoyable to play from what they all say.

Played it once last year, good course and very nice condition, only one complaint and that was one of the greens on the back nine, 14th I think it was, which was just about unplayable due to the slope and pin placement.

I could certainly enjoy being a member there.

All sounds pretty positive, looking forward to my first round and we shall see what happens but sounds ideal.
Thanks for all the replies thus far.

Amen to that! Playing that particular hole in the middle of a long dry spell, pin on the lower left level I was pin high right 12 feet from the hole for two and was delighted, in the end, to make six.

Good course though & the members seemed a good crowd.

I think I had pretty much exactly the same result but pin on the right.
