Raby Road Golf Course

Raby Road Golf Course is a public golf course located in the city of Darlington, England. It is a championship length 18-hole course built on old farmland, and is recognized as one of the best courses in the region. The course was opened in 1932, and was originally known as Castle Eden Golf Club. The course as it stands today, however, was designed by golf architect David Bristow and opened in August 1994. It is a parkland course, with some links style of holes, and has manicured turf and well-maintained fairways. Raby Road is known for its challenging yet fair layout, with eight par-3 holes, eight par-4 holes, and two par-5 holes.

The greens, though not the fastest or biggest in the region, are generally smooth and consistent. The club also offers a driving range, practice area, and a pro shop stocking a selection of equipment and apparel. Raby Road Golf Course provides members and guests with a great experience and an enjoyable round of golf. The friendly staff, well-maintained course, and challenging layout make it is one of the region’s premier golf courses.
