The
Course
18
holes, 6571 yards, 5944 metres. Par 73 S.S.S. 72.
Testing
tree lined heathland championship course. 
The
deceptive opening hole, one of the best in the county, fools
many a player with its wide fairway. But a good drive is needed
down the left side of the fairway to open up the hole for the
second to the green.
The
fifth and sixth are both tough holes from the back tees the
fifth into the prevailing breeze and the sixth a long uphill
par five with an intimidating tee shot.
The
seventh, ninth and eleventh are all picturesque holes of the
finest quality the eleventh needing a straight drive the be
able to avoid a blind approach to the green.
The
12th, stroke index 1, is straight into the wind on most occasions
and from the 13th tee you get excellent views over the course.
The
18th, a par five, gives the better player a good chance of a
birdie finish.
Founded
in 1913 Coxmoor has had only three professionals in its history.
Leonard White was succeeded by his son George Marshall White
(Bill)
who handed over the reigns to David Ridley in 1985 after 37
years as club professional.
In
1957 Coxmoor became the only club in the country to supply two
players for the same Walker Cup team when Alec Shepperson and
Alan Bussell were both picked.
Shepperson was chosen again two years later when he played a
young Jack Nicklaus in the singles.
Oliver
Wilson was the latest player from the club to be selected for
the Walker Cup when he was chosen for the 2003 macth to be played
at Ganton.
The
course has staged the regional qualifying rounds for the Open
Championship as well as the British Seniors Amateur Open Championship
with the nearby Sherwood Forest Club.
