Lindrick hosted the 1957 Ryder Cup, and is regularly used for Open Championship regional qualifying. The course will excite, challenge and, if shown the respect it commands, ultimately reward golfers. It has many tight tree-lined fairways that lurk in wait to punish any stray shots and there are lots of long holes that will test your full range of golfing skills and your long irons, making approach work all the more challenging, with greens guarded by some strategically positioned bunkers. It is a demanding course for any level of golfer but one that is a joy to play.

Set in over 500 acres of the magnificent Wollaton Park, the course, which is overlooked by the imposing 16th century Wollaton Hall, is traditionally parkland in character. It is pleasantly undulating and winds its way through historic woodland which incorporates many fine specimens of trees. It has hosted many important championships, the latest being one of the popular Seniors Tour events. Designed in 1927 by Tom Williamson., it has been sensibly upgraded over the years to provide a fair test of ability for both the beginner and the experienced golfer alike.

BUNGS Championship & BUNGS Masters
Friday 15th June 2012
Cavendish Golf Club, Buxton

Anticipated cost will be £55 and includes:
Coffee & bacon sandwich
11 hole practice
Soup and sandwich lunch
18 hole stableford
Two course meal & prize giving

Founded in 1925 and designed by Dr. Alister Mackenzie, the man who crafted Augusta, home of the US Masters. Widely regarded as the best in Derbyshire, the course is always in prime condition and the quality of its high peak turf is impressive. The course presents a challenge but it’s not too daunting for the average golfer. The hallmarks of Mackenzie design are evident wherever you look - huge swales in front of the greens, tees set in shoots of trees and fast putting surfaces that meander and dip with a vengeance worthy of its American sister.

Coffee & bacon sandwich
9 hole practice
Soup and sandwich lunch
18 hole stableford

The term "spoilt for choice" couldn't be more appropriately used than for describing what is on offer at Enville Golf Club. It is home to not one but two heathland/woodland courses of outstanding quality, frequently used for PGA and County events, and all with the potential to severely test players of all levels of ability. Indeed, whether high or low handicapper, you will find yourself tested by either one of these excellent courses. The Highgate course is the slightly longer of the two measuring 6556 yards over eighteen-holes in return for a par of 72, whilst a par 70 is on offer for the Lodge course which measures just under 6300 yards.

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 dog-legs 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.
