Church Stretton
Church Stretton Golf Club: immensely scenic "moorland" golf courses are not in short supply in England's western counties. Gloucestershire can boast Cleeve Hill, Minchinhampton (Old) and Painswick, while closer to the mid-Wales border you'll find Kington and Church Stretton.
The par-66, 5,000-yard layout at Church Stretton sits atop the stunning Shropshire Hills, with panoramic views aplenty. A sandy soil base and excellent drainage underlines the course's year-round credentials.
If you do manage to avert your gaze from the views, you'll find bracken and heather lining the fairways, which snake through hills and cavernous valleys. Tricky greens ask tough questions of your putting stroke. Perhaps more rugged and a tad quirkier than some (the layout starts with three par-3s), your shot-making (and physical fitness) at scenic Church Stretton will most assuredly be tested.
Visitors welcome on weekdays, and after 2:30pm on weekends.
Must book in advance.
