What's the biggest challenge golfers face at Clayton Golf Club's Par 36 layout?
Don't let the nine holes fool you; Clayton's greens are its real test. They're often subtly sloped and can be quite fast, demanding precise approach shots and a delicate touch with the putter. We recommend spending a few extra minutes on the practice green to get a feel for their speed before your round.

It's a smart choice if you're looking for quality golf on a budget.
