About Golf in Worcester

Worcester is a handsome cathedral city on the banks of the River Severn, sitting in the shadow of the Malvern Hills. Its golf is quietly impressive. Worcestershire's rolling countryside, dotted with orchards and bordered by hills, produces courses of real character - including a hidden Alister MacKenzie masterpiece and a club nestled among some of the most striking scenery in the English Midlands.

Why Gift Golf Lessons in Worcester?

Worcester Golf and Country Club is the flagship venue near the city. Founded in 1898, the course in play today at Boughton Park is an Alister MacKenzie design from 1927. MacKenzie - the genius behind Augusta National and Royal Melbourne - brought his trademark strategic bunkering and subtle green complexes to this Worcestershire parkland, and the result is one of his lesser-known but highly regarded creations. For golfers who appreciate architecture, this is a must-play.

The Worcestershire Golf Club, the oldest club in the county, occupies a stunning position nestled in the Malvern Hills. The backdrop is breathtaking - the hills rise dramatically behind the course, creating one of the most photogenic settings in English golf. Blackwell Golf Club has earned its reputation as an Open Championship Regional Qualifying venue and is widely considered one of the finest courses in the county. Further west, Wharton Park Golf and Country Club, designed by Howard Swan near Bewdley on the River Severn, provides a modern and welcoming alternative.
