Golf near Preston in numbers

By distance from Preston, 1 is within 10km of the centre, 12 are 10 to 25km out and 40 are 25 to 50km out. Because these are straight-line figures, the drive is usually longer.

8 courses list a length, from 2,863 to 6,907 yards. 12 list a par, from 35 to 72. Because tees differ from club to club, treat these figures as a guide.

14 of the 53 courses have a listed founding year, from 1888 to 1996. 5 of them were founded before 1900. However, the rest have no year on record, so the oldest club here may be older than it looks.

The closest other city pages are Manchester (43km), Liverpool (44km) and Bradford (62km). Courses between two cities can appear on both pages, since each page covers its own 50km circle.

Each page measures from one point in the centre of Preston, and a course appears only if it has a map position. As a result, a club just outside the circle is not listed here, although it may be on a neighbouring page.
