Frequently Asked Questions

Is Staffordshire a good golf destination for a dedicated golf trip?

Frankly, no, not if your primary goal is to play golf within its borders. You won't find any traditional 18-hole courses here, so we recommend looking to neighboring counties like Shropshire or Derbyshire for your rounds.

If I'm planning a golf trip to the wider region, where should I base myself to access courses near Staffordshire?

To combine exploring Staffordshire's attractions with golf, we suggest staying on its borders, perhaps near Stoke-on-Trent or Lichfield. From these points, you're well-positioned to drive to excellent courses in adjacent counties without too much hassle.

Since Staffordshire doesn't have golf courses, what else can a golfer do there?

While you won't be teeing off, Staffordshire offers fantastic countryside for walking and exploring, like the Peak District National Park on its northern edge. You could also visit historic sites like Lichfield Cathedral or Alton Towers for a different kind of thrill.

What's the best time of year to visit Staffordshire if I'm planning to golf in a neighboring county?

For the best conditions on nearby courses, aim for late spring through early autumn - May to September. This avoids the wettest winter months and gives you longer daylight hours to enjoy both golf elsewhere and Staffordshire's non-golf attractions.

Are there any golf-related facilities, like driving ranges or pitch-and-putt courses, within Staffordshire itself?

While full 18-hole courses are absent, you might find a few local driving ranges or smaller practice facilities scattered around larger towns. These are usually independent ventures, so check locally upon arrival if you absolutely need to hit some balls.
