Midlands Short Break
This trip will appeal to both the keen golf historian as well as the golfer who wants to test themselves on the same courses as the pros.

The Belfry, Brabazon Course |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Famous around the world for its association with the Ryder Cup, the Belfry is home to the Brabazon Course, quite simply, one of the Europe's finest. The course has two holes which have been popularised by television - the 10th and 18th. The former is a unique short par four, with water running along the right hand side. The 18th is another hole totally dominated by water. This dramatic, par four closing hole, rewards the brave, and has seen more Ryder Cup emotion than any other hole in the world.

Whittington Heath |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Originally founded in 1816, Whittington Heath is tucked away on an elevated heathland plateau in middle England. A completely underrated and relatively unknown heathland delight, It's a quintessential "hidden gem" and should be savoured. Sandy, springy ground is ideal for golf and there's plenty of it at Whittington Heath. The course wends its way through tangly heather and gorse, and you'll need to keep on the straight and narrow to score well. This course provides a real test for golfers of all leve
