Worcestershire Golf Club

Eighteen holes wind through some proper Worcestershire countryside at this well-established course just outside Worcester. The layout makes good use of the natural rolling terrain, with a few testing water hazards and enough variety to keep most golfers engaged for a full round.

Club golfers and keen amateurs will find plenty to challenge them here, though it's not so punishing that occasional players need feel intimidated. The greens are generally in decent nick, and the clubhouse has that solid, unpretentious feel you'd expect from a traditional county course.

Expect to pay standard green fees for the area - it's not a budget option but represents fair value for a well-maintained 18-hole course. Allow four hours for a relaxed round, or book a twilight slot if you're staying at one of the nearby holiday parks like Oakmere or Malvern Hills sites.

Families based at local parks might find this works well for a morning round while others explore Worcester's attractions. The course sits conveniently between the city and the Malvern Hills, making it an easy addition to a Worcestershire break. Just ring ahead to check availability and current rates - booking is pretty much essential at weekends.
