Beau Desert Golf Club
Heathland Course in Cannock, England
Tucked away in Staffordshire, Beau Desert Golf Club is a classic heathland course with a rich history, designed by Herbert Fowler. The club was founded in 1911, with the full 18 holes completed by 1914. Known for its natural beauty within the Cannock Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the course is characterized by rolling fairways framed by heather and pines, and undulating green complexes. Fowler's design features, such as plateau greens and cross hazards, are evident throughout. The course demands accuracy from the tee due to its narrow fairways, and the greens can be challenging with subtle borrows. Beau Desert has a notable history as a venue for Open Championship Qualifying, having hosted it on 17 occasions.
