Career

The 18-hole course extends over a length of 6133 meters, par 70; it is nestled in a park with a beautiful variety of trees. The terrain is undulating, with good drainage which makes the course playable all year round, and its fairways are more like a links type golf course, with fast rolling surfaces in the summer. It is rare for temporary greens to be in play during the winter months, and every effort is made to ensure play takes place on the appropriate greens. One of the strengths of the course is its greens, which are fast and undulating, making putting a real challenge. It is also useful to know which line to hit the ball on to get the best line into the greens. Overall, for a test of golf on a fair but challenging course, Stoke Rochford is hard to beat.
