This years Midlands Amateur Golf  Tour visits the wonderful Enville Golf Club for its first ever 36 hole event in May 2012.

Enville Golf Club is a private members club and was founded in 1935 with a nine hole course. The facilities were gradually extended over a period of years until 1983, when two eighteen hole courses were completed.

The Highgate and Lodge courses have nine holes of majestic woodland and nine holes of picturesque heathland and are frequently used to host P.G.A. E.G.U. and County events. We are proud to host the Midland Regional Open qualifying round from 2007 to 2011.

The club is situated in the beautiful South Staffordshire countryside, yet convenient for motorway and trunk road access.

History

• Enville Golf Club, situated about a mile from the village of Enville, was founded in 1935 by a group of local enthusiasts who met in January of that year, in a nearby hostelry, to consider the possibility of creating a golf course on the Common near Enville.Land was leased for 21 years following negotiations with Sir John Grey of Enville Hall, who accepted the honour of becoming the clubs first president.

  The first nine holes and a newly erected clubhouse were officially brought into use on 19th October 1935.

  The course was extended to 18 holes and brought into play on the 7th May 1938. During the ensuing years considerable improvements were made to the 18-hole course, several holes being re-designed and thereby adding some 600 yards to the original layout.

  In 1969 the clubhouse was moved to a former farmhouse, the interior of the buildings being considerably re-designed to form the existing facilities. The original clubhouse was then demolished.

  In 1973 a further 9 holes were added to the existing 18 holes and formed the Red, White and Yellow courses of 9 holes each.

  During the construction of the third 9 holes in the woodland, three stones (erected to commemorate the replanting of trees to replace those hewn down to smelt iron-ore in the furnace along the River Stour) were re-sited near the 16th tee of the present Highgate Course.

  The final 9 holes, constructed in the Lodge plantation, were brought into use on Captains Day in 1983 and the 36 holes were reorganised into two courses of 18 holes each, identified as the Highgate Course and the Lodge Course respectively.

  The two courses are set in pleasant, undulating country, partly heath land and partly woodland, forming contrasting features, which make for the most exciting golf and remove any impression of monotony. With two such magnificent courses sited in sylvan surroundings and far removed from the urban areas, Enville Golf Club must surely be one of the finest in the country for playing golf, as is made evident by the tremendous number of visitors it attracts
