The legendary golf course architect and former Open winner, James Braid lent his Midas touch to the design of Preston Golf Club, and even if you didn't already know this, you may well guess as the course exhibits all the traditional trademarks of a classic Braid design. The Fifer's plans were laid out on some fabulous parkland in 1892 - making it one of the oldest courses in the region - just a stone's throw from Preston and provides a sound test of golfers for all levels of player.

At 6312 yards from the tee on the first hole to the pin on the eighteenth, it is also a nice length for those looking for a leisurely round.
