Tucked away in Cannock Chase, Staffordshire, Beau Desert Golf Club is a hidden inland heathland treasure known for its strategic challenge and natural beauty. Designed by Herbert Fowler in the early 1900s, the course has a rugged, sandy character with heather, gorse, and fast-running fairways. Tree-lined corridors and bold bunkering give it a true test of course management, and its elevation changes keep you thinking from the first tee to the final green. Ranked among the top 100 courses in the UK, Beau Desert has earned a reputation as one of England’s most underrated gems. The clubhouse is traditional and welcoming, with golfers often staying for a meal and pint after their round. Loved by those who appreciate shot-making over power golf, this is a must-play for anyone seeking a classic British heathland experience.
