The oldest course in Leicestershire is this picturesque nine-hole treat, only a few minutes drive from the M1 motorway. Beautifully maintained and treated, it belies it 114 years, and the traditional, prominent Leicester granite which decorates it, adds a magical touch to the course. The par four fourth is a potential banana-skin so choosing your club carefully is vital. With a water-trap between the tee and the fairway, and a sprawling bunker guarding the approach to the green, a scorecard's respectability can be seriously damaged over these 285 yards. Choose a low wood from the tee and a high iron from the fairway to steer clear of the obvious dangers on this hole.

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."
