Parkland Course - 18 Hole - Par 70
Founded in 1922, the Lytham Green Drive Golf Course
lies just to the north (15 minutes walk) of Lytham town shopping centre.
The course
is surrounded by open fields on the East, woodland to the North and South, and by
Ballam Road on the West,
Ballam Road serves as a link with the M55 motorway.
The
course length at 6305 yards, is perhaps short by modern standards. However it has
been proved as a
good test of golf by its use as a qualifying course for the Open
Championship in 1974, 1979 and 1988.
The clubhouse overlooks the First and Tenth tees
and the Ninth and Eighteenth greens,
the course is therefore played in two loops
of nine holes, in general counter-clockwise direction.
The out-of-bounds perimeter
is thus always on the players right.
The generous fairway widths, and largely flat
terrain, do not demand premium drives, although careless ones will be punished
by
strategically placed internal trees and water hazards. The shots to the greens, however,
demand good accuracy,
since they are on the small side and are well bunkered.
For
shots finishing in the middle of the greens, players have a fair chance of holing
out with a single putt.
On completion of a round, players can relax in the modernised
clubhouse and mix with the members of what is
generally regarded as the friendliest
club on the Fylde Coast.
