The Pastures Open Challenge 2024
Bookings are now open!
In 1969 Tour Pro Max Faulkner opened Pastures golf course, a nine hole course located in South Derbyshire, little did he know the course would not be beaten in the 50 years following, with no round below par until 2023
Despite this, last year England Golf assessed Pastures Golf Club with a WHS slope rating of 114 (+1 shot off scratch)!
November 2021, James Robinson with Rick Shiels shot +4
June 2023 , Richard Essex (A) shot -1
August 2023 , Ryan Ruffels with Rick Shiels shot +2
