Six Hills Golf Club sits in the rolling countryside near Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire, a region better known for its pork pies and Stilton cheese than championship golf. The course takes its name from the nearby Six Hills tumuli, a series of Bronze Age burial mounds that form a distinctive landmark in this part of the East Midlands. The layout occupies gently undulating farmland characteristic of the Leicestershire Wolds, with mature trees and hedgerows defining many holes. The course was established in the early 1970s and represents a period when many parkland courses were developed to meet growing demand for golf in England's shires. The design makes use of the natural topography without dramatic earthmoving, creating a traditional members' course that emphasizes playability across different skill levels. The routing incorporates some elevation change, and several holes offer views across the surrounding agricultural landscape toward Melton Mowbray and the Vale of Belvoir. Six Hills serves primarily as a members' club with a local membership base drawn from Melton Mowbray and the surrounding market towns. The clubhouse maintains the informal, welcoming atmosphere typical of many English provincial clubs, where golf is followed by conversation in the bar. Visitors are generally welcomed, particularly during weekdays, making it an accessible option for those exploring golf in Leicestershire beyond the county's better-known courses at places like Lutterworth and Rothley Park.
