At under 5,400 yards, it's easy to underestimate, but as course manager Rob Sandilands explains, that would be a big mistake. Steve Carroll sits down with Rob to discuss the remarkable transformation of one of England's Top 100 courses, from habitat restoration and sustainable greenkeeping to managing extreme weather and changing how golfers experience a course. They also explore why shorter golf courses deserve far more respect, the unique history of the world's oldest independent women's golf club, and the behind-the-scenes work that has helped make Formby Ladies one of the country's most celebrated golfing destinations. If you've ever wondered what really goes into creating a world-class golf course, or why length isn't everything, this is an episode you won't want to miss. Hosted on Acast.
