This is an easy walking parkland course in the West Midlands with well maintained undulatig fairwayns and some tricky greens. Dartmouth is somewhat unique in that it has one of the toughest and longest opening holes in British golf.

At a mammoth 616 yards from the medal tees, and 600 yards from the yellow, Dartmouth's opening hole has been known to wreck a few cards before the round even gets going. In fact, both of the opening nines here start with par fives, although the 10th is distinctly less demanding than the first, with a stroke index of 11.

Dartmouth is an enjoyable layout with a number of memorable holes that should entice any first time visitors to return. Bar and catering facilities are open to all, as is the well-stocked pro shop.
