You’re standing on the first tee. The sun is
shining, the ball’s sitting up nicely. One more
wiggle of the hips and you’re ready to go.
But how confident are you feeling?
For the slightly apprehensive, Chirk Golf
Club’s “Captain David’s Course” can play as
short as 5,525 yards. But if the force is with
you, the so-called “Tiger Tees” can extend
this to a whopping 7,045 yards.
This 200-acre course, bounded by the
Llangollen Canal and with superb views of
Chirk Castle, offers the typical Wrexham
golfing experience.
A true test. A friendly welcome. Competitive
green fees. And something just that little bit
different. Whether you’re after an 18-hole
championship challenge like Wrexham Golf
Club. Or a scenic nine-hole course such as
Darland Golf Centre at Rossett.
Darland is short but sweet with USGA-standard
tees and greens. And no soft touch. Don’t say
we didn’t warn you about the signature ninth
hole. A left-hand dog-leg to a green defended
by trees on one side and a lake on the other.
And if you’re not quite hitting it straight, a
fancy bit of kit at Clays Golf Centre in
Wrexham might help. Pros at the Mizuno
National Fitting Centre there use a £20,000
radar system to analyse your swing.
