Founded in 1886 and one of the best courses in the midlands, Whittington Heath is 18 magnificent holes winding their way through heathland and trees presenting a great test of golf. Although it’s not the longest of courses and the dog5legs are most tempting, leaving the fairway can be severely punished. Even if you hit the greens in regulation, putting is no picnic on the fast undulating greens.

For more than 75 years golfers in the Midlands have enjoyed the tranquility and friendly company of Melton Mowbray Golf Club, an easy walking parkland course with many trees lining the fairways. Straight hitting and careful course management will always be rewarded here as well as a deft touch around the closely guarded, but receptive, greens. Situated a little more than a mile from the centre of the historic market town, famous for its Stilton cheese and traditional hand raised pork pies, the Course offers players of all standards a challenging but fair test across undulating fairways set amidst rolling Leicestershire countryside.

Formed in 1889, Kenilworth Golf Club is located slightly to the north east of the town. Kenilworth town is noted for the stately sandstone ruins of a castle founded in 1120, the scattered ruins of an Augustinian Abbey, and a picturesque old High Street and cottages opposite the castle. But, for some, the golf course takes centre stage. Kenilworth is an undulating parkland course with many mature trees and pine woods forming natural hazards, giving the club its stunning greens.The course offers an interesting challenge to players of all standards. Out of bounds on some holes can be a trap for wayward golfers, but well placed doglegs offer opportunities for the long hitters to cut corners and show off their skills.

Two course evening meal & prize giving

Beeston Fields Golf Club in Nottinghamshire is home to a splendid course, one that is most certainly worth taking the time to tackle as there are plenty of rewards to be had for golfers who are capable of displaying patience, good course management and informed club selection. The game of golf is all about getting it just right, and few places in England are a better example of that than the course here. Tom Williamson is the golf course architect who conjured up the layout and design of the course, and upon completion, it threw its doors open to golfers in 1923. A fine venue for enjoying a leisurely but taxing round, with its trees and natural contours adding to both the beauty and difficulty of the course.
