The South Staffordshire Golf Club 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". Peter also picks out two other holes - the 460 yard ninth and the 357 yard seventeenth - as his favourites. It takes two good shots, he says, to fly the bunkers guarding the entrance to the ninth, while an accurate drive is certainly required at the seventeenth, which has trees strategically lining one side of the fairway and out of bounds on the other. 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.
