Course Description
Drax Golf Club is a private course managed on a 'not-for-profit' basis that enables us to offer affordable membership, on a high-quality golf course for the local community.Set in a very attractive woodland area in the North Yorkshire District of Selby, Drax Golf Club is a real hidden gem!The layout of the course makes it manageable for a beginner, ideal for the casual golfer, but still offers a difficult challenge even for the more skilful players because of its narrow fairways, variety of trees, hazards and testing greens which are renowned in the Yorkshire area.
