Despite only coming into existence in 1992, the Whitefields Golf Course has matured well into a testing parkland proposition. At 6,289 yards, length is not the main issue, but there are many holes with little margin for error, and severe penalties are guaranteed for wayward striking. One of the main benefits at Whitefields is the excellent natural drainage, which ensures that the course can remain open throughout the year, and also that the putting surfaces will roll true.

The main focal point is Draycote Water, part of the neighbouring Country Park, which has welcomed many a wayward approach shot to the nerve-racking 13th green. The 13th and 15th holes are the favourites of many visitors, although some will find their stock of golf balls somewhat diminished by the time they have negotiated the island green of the par-3 13th. Whitefields also boasts an 18-bay driving range, in addition to the excellent facilities for practicing the short game.

The Draycote Hotel offers visitors the best of both worlds, being situated in the heart of the beautiful Warwickshire countryside, while also being easily accessible via the Midlands motorway network. The facility has been purposefully designed to create a light, contemporary environment, and a relaxed atmosphere, guaranteed to make visitors feel entirely relaxed. The 49 en-suite guest rooms are spacious, and equipped with excellent amenities including satellite television and internet access. There is complimentary parking on site, while the hotel also has a licence to host civil ceremonies. The attentive service and superb facilities to be found at the Draycote make it a great choice for your golf break in the West Midlands.
