Whetstone Golf Club

Whetstone Golf Club lies near the village of Whetstone in south Leicestershire, a short distance from the neighbouring village of Cosby and within easy reach of junction 21 of the M1. The course follows a parkland layout across relatively compact grounds, with greens kept in good order for club and recreational play rather than championship-length golf. Whetstone sits along the old Fosse Way route and has grown as a commuter village serving Leicester, a few miles to the north-east, while retaining a village centre and surrounding farmland typical of this part of the county. The wider south Leicestershire landscape is gently rolling arable country, crossed by the Fosse Way and several smaller lanes linking villages such as Cosby, Countesthorpe and Enderby. The club's accessible layout suits golfers looking for a shorter, less demanding round than the county's larger parkland courses offer, while its proximity to the motorway network gives it a convenient position for visitors travelling from further afield. As with many smaller clubs in the area, the course forms part of a cluster of golfing venues within a few miles of one another around the southern fringes of Leicester.
