tations
Since the Club's early formation at Penn Common and the subsequent move to Danescourt in Tettenhall in 1908, the Club has gone from strength to strength on a site of some 160 acres that is both tranquil and ideally situated for today's golfer.
The course possesses a series of interesting and challenging holes, including no fewer than six par four holes of over 400 yards from the Medal Tees, demanding a mixture of skill and imagination to play them well.
Director of Golf, Peter Baker, has figured in over 500 professional tournaments around the world but maintains that he is still thrilled by standing on the first tee at The South Staffordshire Golf Club. Peter says; "The opening hole is a perfect starting point, doglegging slightly left, with trees on one side and out of bounds on the other. It puts the golfer on his mettle, purely because it can be an intimidating opening shot, and sets the scene for the joys of the holes that will unfold before them".
"The seventeenth is definitely the hole most people remember, because the fairway is very tight to a green which slopes from back to front. You must leave your ball below the hole, otherwise the dreaded three putt beckons".
