The Craythorne is a challenging parkland course near Burton Upon Trent, Staffordshire. The course provides easy walking and suits all abilities.

Originally the design was a 9 hole layout which was re-routed in 1983 to become 18 holes. Not a great deal of investment was given to the course in its first 20 years and it wasn’t until the present owner, Tony Wright, took over that major changes were made. Over 5000 trees, 75,000 tonnes of soil, irrigation system, two ponds, 14 new tees and 5 new greens have been introduced in the past 16 years.

In 2008 there were more more new teeing areas and re-shaping of existing greens. A number of greens and bunkers are due for renovation and reshaping in 2009.

The next season will be a tough financial climate with new expenditure kept to a minimum,however the commitment shown over the previous years will bear fruit in the next years.
