Ravensleigh

This course was laid by James Braid around 1908 when he was 3 times open champion. The quality of the layout shows. Its a challenging track with some great views on the west side of the course. It has retained it's early 20th century characteristic when 9 hole courses were the order of the day because at that time 4 hours for a round was just not practical. At the beginning of the 21st century we are also finding that golf is being restricted by the pace of life. Alton golf club offers you a special Alton Nine opportunity whee you play nine holes to become the monthly nine hole champion in 5 categories including Juniors so it's a great way for a Dad to take his son out for a couple of hours... a great experience for any lover of golf.

Great course ideal for a quick nine holes any summers evening

Thoroughly enjoyed the course, does not pay to go long though. Superb Views.
