Radcliffe-on-Trent Golf Club

Radcliffe-on-Trent Golf Club is a golf course in Radcliffe-on-Trent.

It was founded as a nine hole golf course in 1909[1] and is now an 18 hole parkland course, located approximately 5 miles to the east of Nottingham in Radcliffe-on-Trent on Cropwell Road, just south of the A52. Its foundation was marked with a golf match between two notable professional golfers of the time, Tom Williamson and Harry Vardon. The trophy, won by Vardon, was reacquired by the Club for its centenary in 2009, which was also marked with matches against Rushcliffe Golf Club which also celebrated its Centenary, and by hosting the McGregor Trophy which is the national under 16 boys tournament organised by the English Golf Union.

The course measures 6423 yards and is a par 70 with a SSS of 71. The course is characterised by tight fairways lined with mature trees, and by relatively long par 3 holes. As a private club it has a maximum of 695 male and female members.
