A day on the course
From first light to the last walk in
The greens are built to USGA specification and sown with velvet bent grass. The fairways are sand-capped with 40 mm of sand, fully drained and irrigated, and paths run between every tee and fairway, so trolleys and buggies go out almost all year.
Three practice areas sit beside the course, for the long game, the short game and putting, and the putting green is built to the same USGA specification.
The clubhouse
Home-made, with a view
The bar and restaurant look out over the course and across Cambridgeshire. The food is home-made from local produce, the cakes included, and the clubhouse is yours to hire for a wedding, a birthday or a dinner.
More at the club
Practise, play and celebrate
Three practice areas and a floodlit 370-yard range, PGA coaching, padel for every ability, and a clubhouse licensed for civil ceremonies, so the wedding and the party happen in one place.
