Golf Express at Poulton Park

Golf Express at Poulton Park

Golf Express – which promotes 9-hole golf to inspire busy people to play more often – has been rolled out by England Golf.

The launch follows a successful eight-month trial in Staffordshire when more than 4,600 9-hole rounds were played.

Golf Express was launched in Cheshire recently and now Poulton Park has joined Hartford, Portal, Pryors Hayes, Alderley Edge, Styal and Cheadle in offering a 9-hole option for busy people.

Golfers wanting to play nine holes at Poulton Park – which can be found at Crabb Lane, Cinnamon Brow, Warrington – will be able to take advantage of the club’s weekday offer of nine holes for £11 or the weekend rate of £12.

Rounds must be pre-booked by phoning the professional’s shop on 01925 825220 option 2 or via the club’s website

For those wanting to take up a club membership, there are a range of options available and more information can be found at http://www.poultonparkgolfclub.co.uk/how-to-join/

 Alison Lysons, England Golf County Development Officer in Cheshire, said: “I’m delighted that Poulton Park has decided to embrace Golf Express and promote a 9-hole offer. 

“Time constraints are a common reason why people don’t play golf, but Golf Express is designed to break down that barrier and help people to fit the game into today’s busy lifestyles. Playing nine holes still brings many health and social benefits and makes the game accessible to a wider audience.’

Clubs across the country are now promoting 9-hole green fees and offers to players on theGolfExpress9.org website.

Olympic golfer Justin Rose, an England Golf ambassador, often plays nine holes in practice and describes Golf Express as: “A great way to play all the game in half the time.”

On average, a 9-hole round can be played in just two hours, during which time a player will walk two to three miles, take more than 5,000 steps and burn more than 450 calories.

The appeal of the 9-hole game, which is compatible with the Rules of Golf and the handicap system, has also prompted the R&A to launch a new 9-hole championship for amateurs and Scottish Golf is also promoting the shorter format.

Golf Express offers places to play across the country through its online directory atwww.golfexpress9.org, which also features special offers.
