Golf In The Midlands

The best-known golf resort in the Midlands that is ideal for a break would be The Belfry which made its reputation by hosting the Ryder Cup four times between 1985 and 2002. The Midlands includes the counties of Derbyshire, Hertfordshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire and has over 340 courses to choose from.

The Golf Courses In The Midlands

Starting in the North of the Region there is one of England’s great golfing experiences the Hotchkins Course at Woodhall Spa. Now the home of the English Golf Union The Hotchkins is renowned throughout the world as one of the great inland golf courses and in order to maintain its reputation, it has recently engaged the renowned architect Tom Doak to bring it up to date whilst still retaining its character. Surrounded by gorse and scrub and with the fairways winding through trees and the greens protected by deep bunkers it’s a great golfing experience. There is a second course there, The Bracken which is also worth a visit. It would be wrong to leave Lincolnshire without playing at the Forest Pines Resort. As the name suggests the 27 holes wind through towering pine trees with ribbons of green fairways punctuated by well-positioned bunkers and what are usually fast and true greens. There is an excellent Hotel on site.

Heading South into Nottinghamshire there are at least two golf courses of serious interest -The Notts Golf Club at Hollinwell and the Sherwood Forest Club. The Notts deserves to be better known than it is and this Willie Park Junior design is a combination of a heathland course mixed with moorland and it makes the most of the terrain it is built on. The Sherwood Forrest course is a heathland design routed through an area of special scientific interest.

Around the Birmingham area, The Belfry is the stand out golfing centre. Famous as a Ryder Cup venue there are now three courses on site with the PGA National and the Derby Course complementing the more famous Brabazon Course. There is two stand out holes on the Brabazon the 10th where it is impossible not to try to emulate Seve Ballesteros and drive over the water onto the green and the 18^th where the second shot over the water is one to remember. The Hotel accommodation is superior four stars following a recent refurbishment.

One other course to consider is Little Aston which has hosted several major amateur Championships as well as professional tour events. It regularly features in most lists of the top 50 golf courses in the UK and this parkland gem has been updated to keep pace with modern technology.

Here is a list of the best golf courses & resorts to play in the Midlands:
