Designed by one of world golf's most respected golf course architects, Donald Steel, in 1990, Bondhay Golf Club, set in the heart of the Dukeries, is a superb test of golf. The course has matured quickly and is now one of the best championship parkland tests in the area. Playing off the tips (back tees) you'll find this course quite a challenge. Bunkers are a predominant feature here and many of the greens are hard to hit, as they contain tight, narrow entrances. Water is also to be found on a number of holes and you'll need all your wits about on a number of approach shots. The last three holes provide a tough run in home to the clubhouse which has views over the course and further beyond.

James Braid was the co-designer of the fine course at Kedleston Park Golf Club. The Fife born former winner of the Open is well regarded and highly esteemed as one of the finest golf course architects of all-time and his design shaped and influenced the way golf course design developed throughout the twentieth century. Morrison & Co collaborated with him on the layout of the course and it subsequently opened for the enjoyment of club golfers everywhere in 1947. Now in its 57th year, it remains a true and stern test of golf, with hazards littered everywhere for you to tackle. Cunningly positioned bunkers are a particular feature of this excellent parkland course.

Redditch Golf Club is home to a parkland course that uses natural hazards to maximum benefit. It is a well-wooded course protected by numerous ditches and large ponds. The greens are particularly impressive and were re-laid during 1995 and 1996 under the direction of the Sports Turf Research Institute. It is a favourite of European Tour player John Bickerton. He said: "Redditch is, without doubt, one of the finest golf courses in the Midlands, with testing, long tree-lined holes taking a very accurate game to come out unscathed. "If you succeed in doing this you will have a great score as the greens now match the standard we see on tour week in week out."

Sutton Coldfield Golf Club is one of the most prestigious private members clubs in the Midlands. It was founded in 1889 and two years later moved to the present course in Sutton Park. After the first World War Dr. Alister MacKenzie, a partner in Colt, MacKenzie and Alison, was asked to reconstruct the course. The work was completed in 1924 using the same principles used later at Augusta National and Royal Melbourne. Since then various changes have been made by subsequent committees. Many holes have been extended through the construction of new tees and the course's length has been increased by over 400 yards. MacKenzie once said: "If the suggested alterations are done... there will not be a single weak hole on the course."

The golf club offers a well appointed clubhouse with extensive panoramic views of open countryside, as good as any in the area. Both the first and tenth tees are situated near the clubhouse, ideal for those who wish for a snack mid-round. In 1908 Open champion James Braid, together with ex-Open champion Harry Vardon, joined fellow professionals Fred Robson and George Duncan to stage an exhibition match at a golf meeting that also included an amateur competition for the Leamington Town Bowl, gifted to the club by the Burgesses of Royal Leamington Spa.
