Branston Golf & Country Club, UK

The new course at Branston, designed by Jonathan Gaunt in 1999, opened for play in May 2001. The course, which lies in the River Trent floodplain, was extended from 18 to 27-holes, to create an 18-hole layout of over 6600 yards, plus a new 9-hole par-30 academy course which offers challenges to every level of golfer.

The project was extremely difficult to get planning consent for - allowing modification to existing ground levels by only +/- 0.45m. However, with clever design and remodelling techniques and an imaginative shaper, a dramatic result was achieved.
