Girton Golf Club, Cambridge

The course

Girton has played golf since 1936. The 18-hole course measures 6,044 yards from the white tees, at par 69, with an unusual mix of five par threes and only two par fives, at the 2nd and the 18th. With a white-tee course rating of 69.4 and slope of 120, it is a fair test for mid-handicappers without being overly long, which suits visitors who want a relaxed round close to the city.
