This Georgian Manor House became the clubhouse of the Shifnal Club in 1963, when the course was relocated here from its former site a mile or two south of the town at Brimstree Hill.

The Shifnal Golf Club has operated from the fine Decker Hill House for many years, occupying a Georgian country house which was Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101176128-decker-hill-and-entrance-courtyard-to-east-shifnal#.XJ-22Zj7TIU and https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1176128 in 1955. Seen here was originally the 2-storey service (servants') block at the rear of the main building.

This rather fine staircase and its wrought-iron balustrading was originally in the main hall, and is now above the Golf Club's bar; it forms part of the building's Grade II listing https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101176128-decker-hill-and-entrance-courtyard-to-east-shifnal#.XJ_SrZj7TIU & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1176128, which was granted in 1955. Personally I am less taken by the '1-arm bandit' gaming machine on the right, but each to their own.

This rather fine feature sits high in the ceiling of the main entrance hall of Decker Hill House, and is mentioned in the 1955 Grade II listing details https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101176128-decker-hill-and-entrance-courtyard-to-east-shifnal#.XJ_SrZj7TIU & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1176128

Described in its 1955 Grade II listing https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101176128-decker-hill-and-entrance-courtyard-to-east-shifnal & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1176128 as a "recessed centre bay with 2 giant unfluted ashlar Ionic columns in antis", this doorway leads from the eastern entrance courtyard into the entrance lobby, and then into the main central hall (now the Golf Club bar) with its Image and Image

The early 19th century, Georgian country house at Decker Hill is now the home of the Shifnal Golf Club, and it boasts a Grade II listing https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101176128-decker-hill-and-entrance-courtyard-to-east-shifnal/upload-photo & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1176128 which was granted in 1955.

Last hole of 18 (well, apart from the traditional 19th in the clubhouse) at Shifnal Golf Club; this is a 446 yard, par-4 hole with a slight dog-leg around the trees to the left, beyond the 3 players in the middle distance.

Facing the B4379 north of Shifnal. A golf course perimeter hedge is on the right. I hadn't noticed any nearby rivers or streams, so concluded that the hedges on both sides of the road would be the most likely cause of flooding here, after a downpour.
