.... well not always! But there is a water vapour factory next door (Drax Power Station). Joking aside, this is a very pleasant 12-hole course. Holes 1-5 and hole 18 are played once and holes 6-17 are played twice, some from different tee positions which varies the play, The repeat holes can lead to ‘traffic’ in the middle of the course during busy periods. The greens and fairways are very well kept and I would recommend a visit when it’s not too busy or too wet.

(The following is nothing to do with Drax Golf Course: GolfNow keep sending me unwanted emails, some of which are for reviews of courses I’ve played. I have requested that they cease to send me any emails other than booking confirmations. This has been totally ignored and surely must be contrary to UK data protection laws? However I’m sure that it’s in their T & Cs that they’re allowed to keep sending pestering emails. So before booking with GolfNow, try contacting the course directly, quoting the price on offer on GolfNow. Some courses will match that price (without the booking fee) though some will not. I expect that this review will be deleted and my account cancelled, but at least I will have got my point across).
