About
Get clever at Greenburn Golf Club, which offers a challenging 18-hole combination of parkland and moorland over 6,067 yards of par-71 golf. The golf course has sat at its current spot for more than half a century, ever since its members constructed it by its Latin ethos: "Per Nostra Opera" (By Our Own Endeavors).
A round of golf at the Greenburn Golf Club kicks off atop Falla Hill, as the first hole is called, a par 4 that measures 268 yards from the white tees and requires a shot toward the right side of the fairway. The long hole is Bent Head, the course's fourth, a par 5 that comes in at 536 yards - to add to the fun (or not), the hole is uphill all the way, though it can be accomplished in three shots. Finish things off on the eponymous The Greenburn, where you'll have four strokes to clear 361 yards, which isn't easy, with out-of-bounds zones on both sides.
Greenburn Golf Club's pro shop offers various packages, including 18-hole instruction that guarantees at least five birdies or you get 10 UK pounds back.

Even the weather couldn't spoil it
Having not played Greenburn since the early 80s, I didn't know what to expect on my return last week. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great, with strong winds and driving rain for the first 6 or 7 holes. But it's a very fair course, not overly long with a few challenging par 3s and 4s. Great value for money.
Best course in the county
Looking at the scorecard you'd be forgiven for thinking Greenburn is easily overpowered. Not the case. Big hitters will have lots of opportunities to hit short irons into greens IF they can hit fairways. That's a bit if. Accuracy is rewarded, and you'll have to be in play to hold the small challenging greens. Play the par 3's well and you should score well. That in itself is tough as the wind will need to be considered on all tee shots. Course in fantastic condition and greens running well. Good welcome in club house, and catering very reasonably priced. Greenburn has matured brilliantly over the years, with lots of work being completed to make the course drain very well.
