Golfers arriving at Whittington Heath quickly discover a club with a character all of its own – traditional, welcoming and blessed with a course that has matured beautifully over more than a century.
Set on the edge of Lichfield, the course is a fine example of heathland golf in the heart of the Midlands. Firm turf, natural heather, mature trees and subtle movement in the land combine to create a layout that is both highly playable and testing.
Founded in 1886, Whittington Heath has a story woven deeply into its landscape. Yet for all its history, the course remains wonderfully relevant today. It is strategic without being severe, elegant without being fussy, and enjoyable for golfers of all abilities.
This is a club where the best qualities of the game still feel close at hand: good company, honest golf, a beautiful setting and the simple pleasure of wanting to return to the 1st tee as soon as the round is done.
