Employer Description:

Strawberry Hill Golf Club is a compact, challenging nine-hole course for golfers of all standards. Our aim is that members and visitors enjoy a memorable golf experience. Whether you are looking for golf membership, visitor golf, a society golf venue or function hire, Strawberry Hill Golf Club is the perfect location. The course was designed in 1900 by J H Taylor, one of the pioneers of the modern game of golf. It has remained largely unchanged since it was first laid out and still bears Taylor’s familiar hallmarks, including the small humps and hollows on several holes which look harmless and yet seem to come into play far too often.
