Golf
Bunkers are there for a reason; none of us want to end up in the hazard, but do expect the sand in bunkers to be reasonably free of debris and of a quality that encourages good sand shots to be made
courses have 1 rake between 3 or 4 bunkers; this is often noted as a negative point. Market Drayton’s bunkers are well
maintained, with plentiful rakes, giving us no excuses when unable to get out of them at the first attempt. The average golfer needs a course that
More please
throughout the course. The state of bunkers and the quality of sand used is often a discussion point on courses. I have personally played courses where bunkers have had great clumps of weeds growing out of them! Not a great impression.

Rakes must always be available, some
makes him/her think about their golf a little more carefully, it needs to be a challenge without it becoming so difficult that the enjoyment factor is removed and, most importantly of all, ensures that the golfers return over and over again!! Quite often, the first club member met is
the pro in the pro shop. Russell Clewes, the professional at Market Drayton, has been at the club for many years and is well aware of the importance of a positive first impression. Through his years of experience, he is able to provide appropriate assistance and advice to meet everyone’s requirements, as often as he can and to the best of his ability. Finally, a sometimes underestimated

impression on visiting golfers is the quality of the food and service in the clubhouse. At Market Drayton, you can meet the three birdies at “The Green” called Ange, Cassie and Chelsey ... a complete family effort! The food is homemade, freshly prepared and always remarked upon by everyone as “quality at a very reasonable price”. Service is always with a genuine smile and every effort is made to meet the requirements of the visitor. I consider Market Drayton Golf Club to be
very much “above average” for all the above reasons. A golf course isn’t merely land, grass,
fairways, trees, water, bunkers, trees and greens, with their inherent problems of maintenance. It is a very complex brew of ingredients where, mixed together carefully, the resulting taste experience can be impressive enough to encourage the golfer, just like Oliver Twist, to demand “More Please!”
