The Craythorne is a challenging parkland course near Burton Upon Trent, Staffordshire. The course provides easy walking and suits all abilities.
Originally the design was a 9 hole layout which was re-routed in 1983 to become 18 holes. Not a great deal of investment was given to the course in its first 20 years and it wasn’t until the present owner, Tony Wright, took over that major changes were made. Over 5000 trees, 75,000 tonnes of soil, irrigation system, two ponds, 14 new tees and 5 new greens have been introduced in the past 15 years. There is even more development planned in 2008 with the introduction of more new teeing areas and shaping of existing greens. Over £100,000 worth of machinery has been purchased in the current 12 month period and the greenkeeping staff have increased their professional attitude to provide a consistent playing area. |
