It is a friendly club and welcomes visitors. The course is situated four miles north west of the city of Hereford, nestled in the beautiful Herefordshire countryside.

LEDBURY

 Big enough to be bustling and vibrant, but small enough to keep a strong sense of community.

 

 Ledbury is a market town with a unique feel. Distinct from the other Herefordshire market towns of Bromyard, Ross-on-Wye, Leominster and Kington, at the centre of Ledbury is the Black and White Grade 1 listed Market Hall.

 

Built in 1653 by the King’s Carpenter John Abel – it is one of the finest examples in England and still hosts markets on Tuesdays and Saturdays. (approx. 15minute drive)

Golfing

ROSS-ON-WYE GOLF CLUB

Nestling in the wooded hills above the Wye Valley between Ross on Wye, Ledbury and Newent, The Ross on Wye Golf Club is one of the finest courses in the South West Midlands and is something of a Hidden Gem.

 

Rolling fairways lined with  mature stands of trees mean that accuracy and course management are at a premium rather than just length of hitting.
