Rotherham Golf Club is situated in Thrybergh Park, and overlooked by a Gothic clubhouse. It is an inviting and friendly golfing venue.

Course lowdown: Most of the trouble is down the left so the course doesn?t suit a hook. The 18th, a 454-yard dogleg with out of bounds down the left is the toughest hole here. Meanwhile a par at the par-3 9th ? the target lies 200 yards away with a valleey in between ? feels like a birdie.

Stats: par 70, SSS 70, 6,327 yards

Green Fees: £30 round, £38 day weekday, £38 round, £45 day weekend

Location: The Club House, Thrybergh Park, Rotherham S65 4NU

History: Founded 1903. Originally a nine hole course, it was increased in 1906 to eighteen holes and was later modified by James Braid.
