How to score better at Ealing Golf Club

Accuracy off the tee is rewarded more than raw distance, as tree-lined fairways and strategically placed bunkers create narrow landing zones. Approach shots must be precise to account for subtle breaks and tiered greens that can penalised being on the wrong side of the hole. Play for the centre of the greens rather than hunting tucked pins.

What makes Ealing Golf Club tricky

With a par of 69, scoring opportunities are limited, particularly as the course features few par 5s.

Where most golfers lose shots at Ealing Golf Club

The most common error is underestimating the difficulty of the small, firm greens and failing to account for the speed of putts from above the hole. Aggressive play on shorter par 4s often results in blocked shots into the mature treelines. Many players also fail to check the wind direction, which can be deceptive within the more enclosed sections of the course.

Scoring Zone strategy for Ealing Golf Club
