Hatchford Brook Golf Course

The golf course sits on the outskirts of Coventry, a solid 18-hole layout that punches above its weight for a municipal facility. It's the sort of place where you'll see everything from club golfers working on their handicaps to families having a crack at it for the first time - no pretension, just decent golf.

The course itself is manageable rather than brutally challenging, which means it works for both beginners and established players. You're looking at rolling fairways without too much drama, though the rough can bite if you're not careful. A round takes a touch over four hours if you're moving at a decent pace.

This is genuinely useful if you're staying at one of the nearby caravan parks - Somers Wood is only four miles away, and Gate Farm Caravan Club CL sits at six miles. Both are proper bases for exploring the area, and having a golf course this close means you can slip away for a morning round without driving for ages. It's the kind of thing that makes a week-long caravan holiday feel less samey.

Cost-wise, you'll want to check their rates direct - they're run through MyTime Active, so it's worth ringing ahead. Weekday rounds are typically cheaper than weekends, and they usually offer membership deals if you're planning repeat visits. Bring your own clubs or hire on site. The clubhouse is perfectly serviceable for a coffee after your round, nothing fancy but adequate.
