Wharton Park Golf And Country Club

Wharton Park Golf & Country Club features an 18-hole championship golf course that adheres to USGA standards. This notable course is distinguished by a 43-acre Royal Forest around which course architect Howard Swan designed its layout.

The course at Wharton Park presents a variety of challenges, including strategic water features, and is known for demanding precise play due to its narrow fairways and treacherous hazards. At varying tee placements, the course measures from 5351 to 6402 yards, with a slope rating ranging from 123 to 125 and a course rating from 69.3 to 71.4.

One of the most challenging holes, the signature 9th Hole, stretches a remarkable 587 yards from the back tees, requiring both power and exceptional skill to reach the green in two shots. In contrast, the signature 16th Hole exemplifies both beauty and difficulty, as it demands careful course management and accuracy to overcome obstacles such as an elevated fairway, strategic trees, and a lake.

The course is also characterised by its multiple par 3s that offer a range of challenges, from the enticing short uphill 8th to the daunting 15th with its 162-yard shot over a bush-filled canyon. The diverse par 5s on the course, featuring expansive fairways, add an additional layer of complexity, with the majority exceeding 500 yards in length.
