No scorecard or match lead is safe until you've walked off our 17th green. Though there's still the cross-bunker on 18 to come...

Spring's here, and our course is looking magnificent. The immaculate conditioning pairs beautifully with our Vardon and Colt design to create one of the finest parkland experiences in the country.

Our unique putting green and the welcoming atmosphere at the club make it an outstanding place to spend time away from the course before or after your round.

With the Masters starting today, we are looking back to the absolute wizardry of our former professional Maurice Bembridge. In the 1974 Masters, he fired a final round 64 to equal the great Jack Nicklaus's Augusta course record.

Our logo is a classic crossed-clubs design, familiar to golfers across the country, with a subtle twist woven in to form the club's initials, LA.

The longer evenings have returned, and the course is beginning to flourish in the spring sunshine. After a challenging winter, the vibrant colours and firming surfaces signal the start of a new season.

Even after a relentless winter of rain, the resilience and conditioning of the course remain a real point of pride. We head into the new season with fairways and greens in superb condition thanks to Dave and his team's hard work.

In his renowned 'Confidential Guide' Tom Doak noted that our course is so exceptional that it is worth leaving the coast and the great links courses for. A testament to the quality of our Vardon layout and its standing among the world's most thoughtfully designed courses.

Harry Colt bunkering shapes your second test of the day. As striking as it is intimidating, these hazards frame both the tee shot and the approach, asking you to commit almost immediately after your bacon bap.

Renowned architect Frank Pennink famously described us as the finest course in the area, a reputation we're committed to upholding every season. Our classic parkland routing and impeccable conditioning remain the standard for golf in the Midlands.

The return of late afternoon golf is almost here. With the clocks going forward at the end of the month, long afternoons on the putting green are finally returning. There is no finer place to enjoy as the daylight stretches out and the new season truly begins.

The 13th and 8th, shoulder to shoulder in January snow. From above, the changes tell their own story. Refined bunkering, fewer trees, and a layout that now breathes a little easier, albeit under a few inches of snow.

The shortest of our par 3s, the 5th. Club selection and reading the wind are crucial here. As you can see, any miss is punished from every angle.

Our 14th from above. From this angle, it’s clear that Vardon and Colt wanted you playing in from as far left as possible, opening up the best line into the green.

The penultimate hole doesn’t lose any of its appeal when the seasons change. Winter or summer, it’s every bit as impressive.

A wonderful review @NationGolfing: "And as for the practice putting green, I defy anyone not to fall in love with this little piece of perfection, pint in hand rolling a few putts between the vibrant and manicured flower beds." Full review here. bit.ly/4r2TFUI

Our 1st and 17th greens share a special relationship. One offers a gentle handshake to start the day; the other a nerve-wracking approach over water to finish it. Two greens, two very different stories, just yards apart.

An alternative angle of our 16th, where players must navigate a sea of sand on the approach. While the green appears generous from this angle, it slopes steeply from back to front, ensuring the challenge doesn’t end with the approach.

Happy Birthday to @TommyFleetwood1, who brought his amateur career to a close here in 2010 with victory in the @EnglandGolf English Amateur Championship. It's fair to say he’s done alright since…
