Welcome To Flixton Golf Club - 2012!
A very warm Welcome to Flixton Golf Club. You will be able to find all the information you need on visiting the golf course whether it is for playing, attending a social event in the function room or simply dropping in to the pro shop to purchase something new!
Flixton Golf Club started its career in 1893. The first ten years were spent
elsewhere but in 1903 the club moved to the land on which the course is now
played. Over the years extra land has been purchased, the holes changed and
improved until you come to the course as it is today.
Many people set out to play a gentle nine hole parkland course thinking that
this will be easy. Well... if you hit the ball straight you're part way there;
if you don't there are trees, bushes and nameless other things in the very spots
where you don't want them. It could be said that position is the key to golf at
Flixton. On the other hand, Flixton is one of the longest nine hole courses in
the area so straightness isn't enough; if you can't hit a long ball you won't
get up.
In short, Flixton is a good test of golf. If you can score well at Flixton
you know how to play. Indeed as you play the first three holes you can blame, at
least in part, the famous George Duncan, Open Winner and Ryder Cup Captain, who
helped in the design.
