Rated 10th best course in Leicestershire, Cameron Sinclair was the golf course architect who lent his skills to the design of the fabulous course at Cosby Golf Club away back in the early 1890s. And based upon his designs, it first opened in 1895 making it one of the oldest golf courses in the whole Leicestershire region. It has built up for itself a formidable reputation and is well respected by golfers for the sound test of ability it offers. Over the last 8 years, the majority of holes have been altered to make it more interesting, culminating in a large construction project of new 6th and 8th tees and the re-modelling of the 7th green, which gives a beautiful view as you round the 7th, a tricky but beautuful par 4, guarded short left by a natural pond. Indeed, there is enough here to challenge and excite the best players without intimidating those newer to the game .

Cavendish is rated the best course in Derbyshire. In 1923, Dr. Alister MacKenzie, one of the finest landscape architects of the twentieth century, was commissioned by the Duke of Devonshire to design a new eighteen-hole golf course on his expansive estate. The result was the magnificent Cavendish course, which is as splendid today as it was in the 1920s. A par 65, it is designed upon undulating woodland and dense copses, making it a challenge for golfers of all abilities. Its feature hole is probably the par three fifth, from which you need to hit the green from your elevated tee shot or risk being caught in any of the green's many surrounding traps. Accuracy, concentration and awareness of the wind speed and direction are essential on this hole especially.

Rated 3rd best course in Shropshire, Shifnal Golf Club is on the outskirts of the village between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton. Previously a ten-hole course at nearby Brimstree Hill, the members were able to buy the existing Georgian property and 113 acres of parkland in 1963 and turn it into the present 18-hole course. The layout was designed by Frank Pennink of C. K. Cotton & Co. although the initial work of clearing, land drainage and fairways was done by the members. The course is now one of the best in the county with it's natural features shown in their finest form. Measuring 6,468-yards, Shifnal offers the golfer some really challenging holes, which, at first, may look easy but soon earn the player's respect.
