STRESSHOLME MUNICIPAL, DARLINGTON A superbly maintained municipal course. In good condition all year round this course is an excellent test of golf for players of all standards. The fine condition of fairways and greens should encourage good shots. However the bunkers and dog legs on many holes require consistent and accurate play to avoid frustration for the high handicapper and the parties behind them.

Holes Of Note:4th - A short (115 yd) par 3 over with water front, left and OB behind the green. The smart play is to bring the ball in off the steep bank on the left. NB this hole is alternated with a short par 4 in the back 9. 15th - A 386 yard right angled dog leg from left to right. Possible only for the biggest hitters to drive the over the corner of the dogleg to a large fairway, shorter hitters to lay up with a 4 iron. |
Recommended Handicap 28
