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.

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.
