Course Introduction and Description:
Ganton golf course is ranked in the top 30 of Europe's Championship courses. It has hosted many national and international tournaments including the Ryder Cup, the Walker Cup, and the Curtis Cup. What more of a pedigree could you want to include this on your golf break.
The course is gently undulating – a blend of links and heathland. The fairways are firm and fast. The bunkers are cunningly placed and sometimes cavernous - and the greens are perfection, in summer and winter alike.
The architecture of the course is a tribute to some the most famous names in golf. Vardon, Ray, Braid, Taylor, Colt and MacKenzie have all contributed to make Ganton the unique challenge it is today.
Sir Michael Bonnallack, Amateur Champion and Captain of the R&A, summed up Ganton well. "The journey from tee to green on every hole is one of the most enjoyable golfing examinations that a player is ever likely to experience".
