What we say

Posh by name and posh by nature. That’s wonderful Royal Worlington and Newmarket Golf Club, arguably the finest nine holer of them all. Legendary golf scribe and historian Bernard Darwin was spot-on when he described it as ‘The Scared Nine’. Obviously it’s inland but it has many characteristics of a links golf course with its firm, tight fairways, subtle undulations and super-slick greens.
