The Brabazon
The majestic fairways and carpet-smooth
greens of The Brabazon form a world-famous stage on which some of golf’s
most exhilarating dramas have played out.
Its meticulous design involves tight
fairways, perilous bunkers, lakes and fast undulating greens, creating
iconic holes that have challenged some of the games greatest. As you’d
expect, it’s a challenging golf course, but a must-play for anyone who’s
serious about the sport.
Walk in the footsteps of golfing
legends… Seve’s historic drive onto the 10th green, Sam Torrance’s
famous putt that won the 1985 Ryder Cup match for the European Team or
Christie O’Connor Jr’s belligerent 2 iron across the lake at the 18th.
More recent changes have seen the 6th hole become one of the most
demanding, rated highly by modern-day great Lee Westwood.
With its inland links appearance, this
championship golf course presents a unique challenge thanks to hard and
fast running fairways, undulating greens, severe run-offs and its 70
strategically placed cavernous bunkers.
The PGA National
The PGA National, having
hosted two European Tour events, is one of the West Midlands’ finest
golf courses, and fast becoming one of the top courses in the United
Kingdom.
Recognised by the PGA as a world-class
tournament course and the only PGA branded course in England, the PGA
National is a must for golfers who enjoy the creativity and shot-making
required for links golf.
The Derby
The Derby is a parkland course with
far-reaching views across the Warwickshire countryside, strategically
placed bunkers, water hazards and well-designed risk and reward holes.
The Derby offers a gentle challenge and
is perfect for players of all levels. Also designed by Peter Alliss and
Dave Thomas the course demands accuracy right from the 1st tee, not to
mention good club selection and intelligent course management.
