Wollaton Park Golf Club

Wollaton Park Golf Club, situated within the expansive Wollaton Park in Nottingham, England, is a traditional parkland course with a notable history. Designed by Tom Williamson and officially opened in 1927, the course is set against the backdrop of the impressive 16th-century Wollaton Hall. Williamson, a local professional, was prolific in the region, reportedly working on most courses within a 50-mile radius of Nottingham. The club's opening was marked by an exhibition match featuring esteemed golfers of the era, including John Henry Taylor and Harry Vardon, members of the 'Great Triumvirate'. While not a frequent Open Qualifying venue, Wollaton Park has hosted significant events, such as the Girls Amateur Championship in 1959 and a PGA Seniors Tour event. The course, playing to a par of 71, has been subject to sensible upgrades over the years to maintain a fair test of golf. It is known for its undulating terrain and tree-lined fairways, offering a pleasant round within historic surroundings.
