ENVILLE GOLF CLUB
Enville Golf Club near Stourbridge in the County of South Staffordshire is an R & A and England Golf Championship venue and recently hosted the English Senior Women’s Amateur Championships 2019. 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.
Tranquil surroundings in the West Midlands
The Your Golfer Magazine team were lucky enough to sample The 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 wonderfullydesigned 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. 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 or post round. The club provides excellent dining options with bar snacks and meals from the clubhouse’s specials board daily whilst guests are served by an attentive staff team.
In the winter, the club’s log burning stove creates a warm and cosy ambience in the clubhouse building whilst, during the summer months, the patio area is the perfect place for al fresco eating and drinking. Enville Golf Club welcomes visitors and society groups throughout the year. The club’s professional team can tailor their golf day packages to suit the needs of the visiting party. Individual and small groups are just as welcome as societies and corporate guests, encouraging all to enjoy the challenge of the two Enville golf courses, fabulous hospitality and a heritage of over 75 years. Enville Golf Club can also recommend local accommodation providers who can work with groups to create the ideal golf break.
