Gaudet Luce – 25 years of progress (and counting)

This is a modern golf and leisure complex that doesn’t like to sit still and the steady growth in popularity of the club since its opening in 1995 has enabled the family ownership to put investment back into the course and facilities.

Always special – The South Staffordshire Club

The South Staffordshire Club is always a special visit. Nestled in the leafy suburbs of Wolverhampton, a traditional members club with a much admired parkland course that never fails to impress. Messrs Vardon, Colt, Braid and more recently Donald Steel have all played their parts in creating a layout that charms, teases and yields a low score very reluctantly.

Morley Hayes – the full package

A major East Midlands player, Morley Hayes truly has it all, you can play, learn, socialise and get your head down. All ages and abilities of golfer are welcomed and share the off course charms with many non-golfing visitors, diners, hotel guests and businesses. A hive of activity, in this special feature we introduce you to it all, and new for 2017 the complex is now introducing membership packages for the very first time.

Play and Stay – At The Nottinghamshire

The No1 Society Venue in The Midlands – As voted by you, the MG readers in our poll, held at the beginning of this year. They wear their banner proudly, you can’t miss it as you drive into the car park. The bad news for their rivals is that The Nottinghamshire G & CC is a club refusing to rest on its laurels. It’s time to vote again now and this venue has an even more compelling case to make in order to retain the title.

Another level – Leamington & County

Leamington and County GC has the experience of over 100 years of golfing tradition combined with a healthy modern attitude to bringing new golfers into the game.

Leamington have undertaken some course developments this year too, a slightly altered layout now exists with a re-route and two changed holes which include a new 18th. A joint editor’s visit was required to check it all out, Mandy and myself chose the hottest day of the year to do it!

Nuneaton GC – In good shape

The fortunes of Nuneaton Golf Club are doing rather nicely of late, a rate of progress to compare favourably with their famous son. Locally born Andy Sullivan played his golf here from picking up a club at the age of ten. He still lives in the area and during his downtime away from the European Tour is often to be found on the fairways of Nuneaton, still playing money games with old mates.
