The Course A good test of golf for players of all levels awaits at Olton Golf Club.

At 6230 yards from the white tees this par 69 golf course has a standard scratch score of 70, confirming there are plenty of hazards to capture the wayward golf ball. With six par 4 s of over 400 yards, one of the four par 3 s at 200yards through an avenue of trees and only one par 5 the course provides a good challenge to all golfers.
