Enville Golf Club

Enville Golf Club is located near Stourbridge, in the countryside on the edge of the West Midlands conurbation where the built-up area gives way to rural south Staffordshire. This stretch of country, close to the Shropshire border, is markedly quieter and greener than the industrial towns just a few miles to the east, with wooded hills and heathland forming part of the landscape around the historic Enville estate. Stourbridge itself grew as a centre of the glass-making industry, and the surrounding villages have long served as a rural counterpoint to the town and the wider Black Country beyond it. The club's setting places it within reach of Stourbridge, Kidderminster and the southern fringes of Wolverhampton, drawing golfers from across this part of the West Midlands borders. The transition from the region's industrial heartland to open countryside happens quickly here, and the ground around Enville reflects that shift, with the kind of heath and woodland cover more often associated with rural Staffordshire and Shropshire than with the conurbation nearby.
