It’s this same jovialatmosphere thatcontinues to make theclub such a pull forseasoned players and fornewcomers alike. The view fromthe club house is one of the manydelights on offer, which will certainly wet the appetite of anygolfer. Even players who’ve think they’ve seen everything stopand take a moment to admire the outstanding sights here. Although the grounds were beautifully kept and tended, theclub house itself was impeccable as we made use of thefacilities. The cloakroom, for example, had ample space for aparty of any size. The driving range was spacious, well-keptand was simply a delight to let loose a few practice shotsbefore turning out attention to the main course. The grounds were splendid, ensuring every hole on theeighteen-hole course was a delight unto itself. I’d be hard-pressed to pick a favourite but, if pushed, I would have to saythe eighteenth as we were coming back to the picturesqueclub house. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the green keepingstaff and the obvious care and dedication they put into thegrounds. It takes a lot of effort to keep the grounds in such apristine condition, so they deserve all the praise sent their way. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Spalding Golf Club to anyof my golfing buddies, business associations or to you, dearreaders.
