What the club says: 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 were proud to host the Midland Regional Open qualifying round from 2007 to 2011 and the British Girls Open Amateur Championships in 2017 on behalf of the R & A.

The club now has two eighteen hole courses; Highgate, with a standard scratch of 74 and the lodge, with 72. Both Courses test the golfer to the limit, combining a mixture of heathland surrounded with testing tree lined fairways.

Enville is a venue for many top professional and amateur tournaments including British Open Qualifying. The large membership with numerous Society visitors indicates that the club is one of the most popular in the West Midlands.

Autumn Delight

Our small society visited Enville for the first time, we play many heathland courses particularly this time of year due to how dry they usually are. Highgates was the course we played which is the longer of the two. The course has to be one of the best I've played with some lovely holes. Great condition for October. The approaches were as good as some of the greens we have putted on recently, all the group commented on them with the greens firm and fast considering the recent deluge of weather we have experienced. Worth a visit and will be back to play the Loop Course.

Treat of a Venue

What a great venue to enjoy an away visit during these difficult times. Its an amazement that I had never played here before, yes its a bit out of the way and off the motorway its a bit of a challenge to get to but once here it's worth every effort. Pro shop wasnt open when we arrived but we were welcomed by food table by the clubhouse - cracking start !. Played the Lodge first what a joy, followed by the Highgate the next day, both are gems although the Highgate plays a little longer the lodge was equally as tough and interesting. Greens were super smooth and the place was in lovely order.

Amazing Venue

Played the Highgate before and what a treat that was but today was the turn on the Lodge, day before a pro event and what a joy, the course is so well manicured, greens a treat and so true. Some great holes \\\\\\\"beautiful\\\\\\\
" as my partner would say. Practice facilities are great, not the greatest of welcomes in the shop but that was soon forgotten about with a lovely chat with one of the members, considering all the Covid issues food and drink was great. Well worth a visit in fact id make several you wont get better value in the midlands playing on such quality.

Jewel in the Staffordshire Crown

I now see what the hype is all about! Two fantastic courses in one club, how greedy of them!! We paid the winter day rate and just about managed to squeeze both in before the light faded too much.

We played Highgate first. Thoughtfully laid out with some beautiful holes that challenge you without being spectacular. Every hole is different though. You never feel like you're just playing up and down. However, we realised this was just the prelude to the real gem that is the Lodge course.

The Lodge course is as good as any inland course you will find. Immaculate and pristine fairways are tree-lined and undulating. It evokes thoughts of classic courses like Wobourn. So many greens nestle in a cave of pine trees that challenge you to get your distances correct to avoid going beyond and into danger.

Brilliant day, wonderful golf and if you have ever toyed with the idea of playing there but for some reason not done it, chastise yourself now and get yourself to the club. You will not regret it. Will most definitely be going back to play again.

2 Fantastic courses. An absolute must play in the Midlands. why have I

Had the best golfing day today.

£55 winter rate in March for 2 top courses. Superb drainage, firm fairways. Highgate is longer and Lodge is even more woodland & picturesque. I love the heathland sections on both courses and liken them to parts of Formby, North Hants and Notts Hollinwell, and the woodland sections are like Forest Pines, Formby and Woburn. There are so many 'WOW' moments. If we weren't so pushed for time I'd be taking photos on every hole.

Just love the heather lined fairways and some of the bunkers with heather edges making them true hazards. Some of the greens are framed by fir trees which makes it like Formby.

Even though all the greens had been hollowtyned and sanded and ran rather poorly (my putting stats were killed) I can see this course will be incredible in the summer.
I was raving to all my golf buddies about Beau Desert a few months ago but with 2 outstanding courses here I think BD has been eclipsed by Enville as my favourite inland course in England.

Already planning my next visit and a visit from my work's golf society!

In the summer £90 for a full day on 2 courses will be well worth it. I'd rather save my £25-30 for mediocre courses and play here.

Food in the club house bar was high quality, fresh and quick (£6 for a sandwich and a coke!) pretty decent value.

Didn't get a chance to use the practice facililities but fellow GolfShake ambasador Mel Davies said they are really good..especially the short game.

B Team Event

We were invited to play a end of year fixture here, we were told it would be on the Lodge course, which initially we were a little disappointed however I have to say it is just as good if not better than the Highgate, some beautiful holes not to long and a fair test of golf, considering the weather the course was really dry and in good condition.

Thankyou

Beautiful what a place, first time and the only shame was the weather and that I couldn’t get a buggy as none left . The greens quality was a ten and the rest of the golf course well manicured to a level I’ve rarely seen. Love the clubhouse a great day had by all

Great few days

Had a week playing several courses in the midlands with a group of friends, We played both of Envilles courses during the week, I preferred the Lodge but that might because it was a little shorter and I dont hit the ball that far now. Loved the par 3's and the Courses were in prime condition lovely greens with Approaches you can easily putt from. Heather was in flower which made it look even better.

Played both courses recently, and have to say there's nothing better for quite some distance. The Highgate is the supposed better course, but I preferred the Lodge which is absolutely stunning and so picturesque. Both courses in mint condition with true, fast greens. Practice facilities, pro shop, bar and food all excellent. If you can find a better golf club within 75 miles then good luck!! ????????

Had a lovely 2 days playing both courses, It's the first time I have played the Lodge course which was great. Having played the Highgate before it yet again proved faultless however the Lodge was in my opinion equally enjoyable with arguably some stronger holes. Greens equally good on both as true as you will find. Food was good and the beer !

Beautiful

"IF i lived closer" I would definitely be a member, this place is class and from a heathland Surrey Ambassador that takes a lot. Bargain golf a a two day rate crazy cheap it would be 4 times that back at home they are missing a trick, if you get to play you wont be disappointed, I actually preferred the Lodge course although it was close.

Enville Golf Club is a fantastic golf venue - both Highgate & Lodge courses provide an enjoyable golfing experience which could be embellished by making use of the extensive practice facilities before your round. Afterwards, enjoy yourself in the spike bar in a relaxing atmosphere. Great value for money, an incredibly well-stocked Pro Shop, obliging staff and by far and away the best greens I have putted on all year.

Immaculate

If you are anywhere near this course. You have to do yourself the pleasure of playing this immaculate golf course. The greens are some of the best I?ve ever seen. The ground staff are extremely talented and the claim the course is never closed was demonstrated this week as I was convinced the course would survive the rain. I was wrong. Fantastic.

Absolute Gem

Played with a group of friends from Shropshire, first time for me but the others had played here before. What a track and apparently the other course is just as good. Some stunning holes and in great condition. We got a really good deal and cheaper then many of the other venues we have been at lately. 6th Hole is a monster !
