What the club says: Church Stretton Golf Club is the oldest 18-hole course in Shropshire and one of the highest courses in the United Kingdom. It was designed, in part, by Braid and Vardon, adding to the work done earlier by Jack Morris and James Hepburn. The views from all 18 holes are breathtaking and on a clear day, you can see Cheshire, Staffordshire and Herefordshire.

Always Playable
A short but always playable course. Challenging steep inclines in places. Plays differently every time. Easier for carrying than trolleys. Small but very welcoming bar and clubhouse with good selection of food and drink.Reviewer Rating

The pro was most welcoming and took his time to tell us about the course and club house. It has the most stunning views, but as a very high handicap lady I found it most challenging.
My husband on the other hand really enjoyed his game loved the challenge. The club house served the most yummy Sausage rolls and coffee.
Everyone we spoke to were helpful and friendly, would say it’s definitely worth a visit.

Great morning
Had a truly wonderful morning. Was made extremely welcome, course in excellent condition, weather was good with little breeze so perhaps played at it’s easiest but can imagine it’s a stiff test on a windy day. If you play poorly on the day you’ll still enjoy the magic of the magnificent views and charm of the course. Great value for money and I’m going back to play again. 17/08/2023Reviewer Rating

I was a member of CSGC as a kid. The course has matured really nicely since then with more trees and less bunkers. It’s a tough little course if you’ve not played it before but the views really make it worthwhile. The greens are always in good shape and they’re hardly ever on temporary tees. Friendly and helpful pro and nice food and drink in the lovely club house at very reasonable prices. The clubhouse has views over the town and welcomes non players and walkers etc. Well worth a visitReviewer Rating

Great fun
Loved the course! Not a huge fan of uphill par 3s so the first 2 holes are a challenge. One is tough as your first shot and two is a blind par 3. The views are simply stunning, some wonderful green complexes and it was in great condition. You need to be fairly fit as it’s a tough walk but definitely worth the effort. So glad I played it.Reviewer Rating

warm up net and putting green, course is a real test don't expect pure greens and level lies. bring your straight hitting game or spend a day in the ferns.loads of blind shots and plenty of drivable par 4s to get back on track. 100% a must play but pray for a nice day on the ridge. pro very friendly and £15 for the pairs open a bargain. enjoyed the day out, walking boots a must for first 3 holes UP UP UP :-)

Agree with the last writer, it is better than dornoch. Severe climbs and breathtaking views. One of the best I've played. Tough opener, where you just want to swing smooth. 3rd is a blind par 3: great hole. The fourth a tough par four, second shot over a valley to a perched green. Tough green to hit on 14, slope running away to the left of the green. What looks like a chance on the 16, 252 yard par 4, miss right and you are dead though. Fun last two holes that play way down the hill.Reviewer Rating

Stunning! Possibly the best course in England, and I’ve played the big names like St Andrews and Dornoch. Incredible, far reaching views; captivating variety of holes, some with blind shots, some with elevated or lowered pins, some with sunken and tilted greens; a friendly clubhouse; a fair price. It’s challenging and pure and a joy to play.Reviewer Rating

Lovely little but demanding course
We had a great first visit to the course on a windy and potentially rainy October day which thankfully didnt materialise. As a higher handicap player it was a difficult course but with every hole being different, many where you couldnt see the green it was very enjoyable. Will return in slightly better weather. If you can carry your clubs - taking my trolley was as demanding as the course at times!Reviewer Rating

Memorable
Played here October , 2020 .Fantastic course .Interesting , different & unusual .Hilly but very natural with dramatic views (checkout the view from the 8th green ) .Brilliantly designed with the hillside /mountainside terrain & there wasn't one hole i didn't like .Sheep ,wild horses , hidden greens ,marker posts, rocky outcrops & elevation change par 3's .
Short on the card but the quality of design mean approaches on some of the short par 4's have to be struck precisely .
Loads of memorable holes that you are unlikely to find elsewhere & the 1st is a slightly startling opener, a long par 3 with an elevated green above a steep bank & round the corner a bit that required a wood .
I would put this in my top 10 courses played ( out of more than 400 ) .

I love courses like this...
What a course this is...not a single par 5, 6x par 3’s all different and challenges with every shot but at the same time playable for all.Small greens that ran well if not the quickest but being that high up I understand why they don’t get them faster. Some of the best views anywhere on a course you’re likely to find.
I would recommend a buggy if you’re not the lightest on your feet as there are some proper climbs....
Very friendly welcome from James in the shop all made this a very pleasurable experience.
Definitely one to play with some great deals on offer too.

You might fall in love
I have such a soft spot for this course. Uniqueness is the key: inland links; wayyyy up high (with those awesome views; the wind can be 20mph higher than down below; wildlife everywhere; holes playing 100yds shorter or longer than they are.A bit disappointing that the staff were gone when I finished, still within the advertised opening times. Understandable in a little country town, however.
Most tellingly, you will come away from your first round remembering every single hole from tee to green - something even most other Braid courses do not offer.
So, yeah... at £14, the value for money is just unbeatable. Go there, battle the wind, the fairway climbs, the blind fairways and the sheep, and remember that each golf course is supposed to be interesting. Every in-and-out parkland you play in future will bore the pants off you!
