Laid out in existing parkland
in 1921, Willesley Park is home to the annual Leicestershire
Fox and has long been recognised as one of Leicestershire’s
leading courses. This beautiful heath and park land course is
set in the National Forest in North West Leicestershire and
offers open views of the surrounding countryside and historic
town of Ashby de la Zouch.
Offering a fair challenge to golfers of all standards, Willesley
Park’s fairways wander through distinct areas of parkland,
woodland and heath providing an undulating golfing terrain of
great variety.
With generous, tree lined fairways and well protected greens
providing excellent putting surfaces, Willesley Park is an excellent
test. Each hole has an individual character and is appropriately
named to reflect this.
The picturesque 10th hole, Lakeside which at 151 yards is one
of the shortest on the course appears on the card to be straightforward.
However with the green set some 60 feet below the tee and bunkers
left and right it requires a accurate and well struck tee shot
to find the green.
The 18th, Ivanhoe, at 435 yards appears to be a challenge in
length alone. However, playing both a drive and approach shot
into an upslope, and with out of bounds immediately behind the
green this makes for one of the best closing holes in Leicestershire.
