There is hardly a better course anywhere in Leicestershire than the one at Kilworth Springs Golf Club for offering a variety of golf and tending to every need and wish of golfers, no matter their experience or ability. The front nine plays as an inland links style course whilst the closing stretch is set on luscious, verdant, luxurious parkland. Designed by Ray Baldwin, it opened in 1993, and whilst still relatively young, it has matured fabulously in such a short space of time and has become very highly regarded amongst club golfers in the region. It sprawls over 6718 yards from the tee on the first hole to the pin on the eighteenth so is quite heavy on the legs, but is ultimately very rewarding.

Shrewsbury Golf Club was formally instituted on March 9, 1891 at Hencote, off the Ellesmere Road to the north west of the town centre. Ever since those early days this course has gone on to become one of the most respected around - and for good reason. Despite the vagaries of weather, tree planting programmes have produced a steady growth of a variety of species to complement the existing mature oaks and beeches. This is slowly but surely changing the whole character of the course. With spectacular views over the Stretton Hills to the south, the Shropshire Plain to the north and additional water features lurking on four holes, this course more than satisfies the players demanding a challenging test of golf coupled with top quality clubhouse facilities.

Handsworth Golf Club is a superb undulating parkland course that's only a few miles from the city centre. It boasts some tight fairways which, should mother nature decide to kick up a fuss, can be susceptible to strong winds. A picturesque lake runs down the right hand side of the first stretch of the fairway so be sure to keep it left and avoid an early bath. As you'd expect from a club this age, Handsworth is a beautifully mature course - high tree-lined avenues, attractive borders and, although the city centre is only a matter of miles away, you'd be forgiven for thinking someone had misnamed the club and you were in fact out in the middle of Worcestershire!

Located just three miles south of Newcastle under Lyme is the marvellous course at Trentham Park Golf Club. A superb test of nerve and character for players of all levels of ability no matter how new or otherwise they are to the game, it is laid out in beautiful part wooded parkland with plenty of hazards littering the course, and ready to gobble up any shot that errs on the wrong side of accurate. Good course management and well informed club choice would seem to be an essential pre-requisite for anyone with designs on scoring anywhere in the region of the par of 71. Do you feel up to the challenge? Then give it a shot!

Market Drayton is a hugely enjoyable course to play no matter your handicap or expectation level. If you've played the best courses in the country, we very much doubt you'll be disappointed with the challenge on offer here. Every hole has something to make you think and there are countless tight fairways - many of which are lined with out-of-bounds - which will have you quivering in your FootJoys on the tee. The 14th, a 326-yard par four, is aptly titled 'The Bungalow', reason being that a bungalow is available for rent (sleeps six) by golfing parties who wish to stay on-site. Visitors are welcome by prior arrangement.

The Leicestershire Golf Club founded in 1890 is a beautiful parkland course which stands to the south of the city, backing on to open countryside. Heavily treed and boasting the finest quality greens, the 6200 yard par 68 course challenges low handicap golfers whilst remaining suitable to golfers of all abilities. The course was extended to 18 holes in 1889 and in 1910 improvements by James Braid included a number of new bunkers. In 1936 the course was extended by Major Charles Mackenzie, brother of the legendary Alistair Mackenzie of Augusta National fame, and subsequently altered by C K Cotton. The unique and architecturally significant circular clubhouse commands superb views over the course and offers excellent facilities for entertaining, dining and relaxing. Enquires for membership are welcomed, subject to waiting lists. This welcoming private members club, with its highly praised course and dramatic clubhouse, offers visitors a most enjoyable and testing golfing experience.
