Chester is one of the world’s most popular courses with its facilities capturing the same ancient charm as the Roman ruins which give punters a unique viewpoint of the course. For those who don’t feel like risking the climb, the perfectly modern Country Stand is also available. The biggest events in Chester’s calendar occur during May and August and both attract enormous crowds, forcing many punters to arrive hours in advance but they are never disappointed as the course provides exhilarating, non-stop action.
