The West Midlands Golf Club of the Year 2019
The Award Winning Enville Golf Club
Tucked away near the village of Enville, the first nine holes and clubhouse of Enville Golf Club were erected in 1935 with a second nine added and the course extended to eighteen holes in 1938. Two further loops of nine were added and, in 1983 the 36 holes were re-laid out to create two eighteen hole golf courses. Today, the two golf courses, which are set in pleasant, undulating country; partly heath and partly woodland attract a tremendous amount of visitors each year many of whom return. Both courses, the par 72 Highgate course, and the Lodge a par 71 golf course are maintained to the highest of standards and boast 36 uniquely contrasting holes. Presenting a test for even the most accomplished of golfer in idyllic conditions for golf, the typical English heathland golf course offers play all-year-round thanks to excellent drainage. Enville Golf Club is also home to first class practice facilities including a 360 yard driving range and three short game areas.
As part of the award process, representatives from Your Golfer Magazine were lucky enough to sample the award-winning, Highgate course for themselves. A real gem of a golf course, the Highgate is a blend of picturesque heathland and woodland course; the tees are extremely well cared for, fairways are shaped to perfection and can be fairly linksy in places allowing for good run and the putting surfaces have gained a reputation for being among the best in the area, fast and smooth with subtle contours. A lot of the holes are tree-lined, and with the run many players will reach position using a fairway wood on a good proportion of the holes. There are four par five's on the Highgate with the ninth hole, a monster of a hole at 586 yards off the yellow tees. The course also features four wonderfully-designed par three's and a couple of exciting par fours back to back on the 12th and 13th.
The Highgate back nine is arguably more difficult that the front nine which prepares players for the challenge ahead. Both golf courses, the Highgate and Lodge call for excellent course management and accuracy from the tees to shoot a low score.
Relax amidst first class facilities The Enville clubhouse and spike bar facilities are available seven days a week. Offering a wide range of local ales and beers, as well as the locally brewed and award-winning, Enville Ale the clubhouse is the ideal place to relax and unwind pre of post round.
