Cleobury Mortimer Golf Club

Badger's Sett is an 18-hole parkland course located in the market town of Cleobury Mortimer in south Shropshire, designed by Ray Baldwin. The course occupies gently rolling countryside characteristic of this part of the English-Welsh border region, where the landscape transitions from the Severn Valley toward the Clee Hills. The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes and mature woodland that frames many holes, creating a traditional parkland setting typical of inland English golf. The design reflects Baldwin's approach to creating accessible yet engaging golf for club members and visitors. The layout incorporates the natural topography without excessive earthmoving, allowing the land's contours to influence play and strategy. Tree-lined fairways and strategically positioned hazards require thoughtful course management, while the variety in hole lengths and directions provides different challenges throughout the round. Cleobury Mortimer Golf Club serves the local golfing community in this rural part of Shropshire, offering a welcoming environment for members and visitors exploring golf in the region. The clubhouse provides the social hub typical of English members' clubs, where the game is followed by refreshment and conversation. The course's location in a small market town gives it a distinctly local character, removed from the busier golfing centers but representative of the many parkland courses that form the backbone of English club golf.
