Two superb golf courses -

the Lakes and the Valley

The Lakes Course, at 6736 yards, is the longest of the two 18-hole championship courses at Greetham Valley. The long wide fairways can favour the big hitter – but watch out for the water and bunkers. Stakes have also been removed from the maturing trees so beware of any really wild drives.

The Par 3's on the Lakes course are very challenging, with lovely but deceptively tricky water features on each one. The signature holes are the Par 3 10th and the Par 4 18th, both right in front of the clubhouse. The Lakes course has the benefit of the Halfway House for refreshments part-way through your round.

Shorter and sweet sums up the Valley Course! This picturesque par 68, 5595 yards course has some spectacular holes across the valley, notably the 3rd, with it's elevated tee, the 16th with a 3 tiered green and the final flourish on the 18th. Perhaps the prettiest hole - and the most testing - is the 17th, a par 4 nestling on the floor of the valley, bordered on the left by a wooded hillside and on the right by the brook. But watch out for the lake next to the green!

Although the shorter of the two championship courses, the Valley is still very challenging and all parts of your game must be up to scratch. It has the longest par 5 hole on the entire complex and with water, sand and glorious views over this beautiful part of Rutland, this course offers a truly great eighteen holes of golf.

The Academy Course boasts 9 well-designed Par 3 holes and is ideal both for novices and for the experienced player trying to fine-tune his short game. If you wish, you may join Greetham Valley as a PowerPlay member then upgrade your membership to the main courses at your own convenience - and as your skill improves. Visitors can enjoy the PowerPlay course on a pay and play basis - adult green fees are £5 per round weekdays, £6 weekends - children 16 and under are half price.

The floodlit Driving Range boasts 14 covered bays, 4 outdoor bays, a bunker practice area and a video teaching academy. Open 7 days a week to members and non-members alike, the Range is in regular use for golf tuition and is particularly popular just before important competitions! One-to-one, duo and group lessons are offered for novices, improvers and the occasional despairing low handicapper. Tokens are available in various denominations:

Medium (50 balls) £2

Large (100 balls) £3.50

The contoured Putting Green enjoys some of the most attractive views on the entire complex, overlooking the valley and both 18th greens. It is ideal for practice, lessons and tweaking one’s aim after three-putting to lose a match! Society and corporate day golfers often request a putting competition to enhance their visit.
