Rugby Golf Club

About the club

The Rugby Golf Club is a members club with over 125 years of golfing history. It is a parkland course with many established trees and with the Clifton brook running through the middle affecting 9 holes, and the Oxford canal affecting another three and a pond on the 14th, makes it an interesting and challenging course. New research from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) has found that regular walking is more effective at keeping weight down than vigorous activities such as going to the gym.The walking needs to be brisk and the research applies to men over the age of 50 and women of all ages.One of the most effective ways for people to regularly walk briskly is via playing golf several times a month. Current government recommendations are for 150 minutes a week – the equivalent to, for example, 12 holes of golf a week.
