 Beautiful Midlands golf course |
Wishaw Birmingham, West Midlands B76 9PR United Kingdom +44 1675 47 0301 http://www.thebelfry.com |
"The Belfry is now synonymous with the great European Ryder Cup victories of recent years. The course is famed for two holes in particular: the 10th, where longer hitters can have a crack for the green (if they are feeling brave enough to tackle its hazards) and the magnificent 18th where the drive and the approach to the green are over water - the scene of much drama over the years. To play, you'll need a current handicap and good deal of money. It is advisable to book well in advance due to the enormous popularity of the venue. Those wishing to make a weekend of it can stay in the luxurious Belfry Hotel amid the glorious Warwickshire countryside." Review © 2007, Wcities |

Nine hole course |
Vicarage Road Harborne Birmingham B17 0SN United Kingdom +44 121 427 1204 |
Not to be confused with the Harborne Golf Club nearby, this is a council-run course open to everyone, although it only has nine holes. The plus side of this is that it's cheaper to play here than at the council's 18-hole courses. Lack of size doesn't imply lack of facilities, as there is a fully-stocked shop, hire equipment is available and there is a teaching academy here. There's also a cafe serving excellent breakfasts.

Great golf |
Eachelhurst Road Walmley, Sutton Coldfield Birmingham B76 8EP United Kingdom +44 121 351 1014 |
As it's a council-run course, anyone can play at this pleasant municipal golf course to the north-east of the city centre. A full 18 holes await, and you will find a range of amenities for the keen golfer including a golf shop with equipment for sale or hire. The course itself is a mature one, with fairways lined with deciduous trees and gorse bushes. It is not too daunting for the beginner, yet still offers a good round for the more experienced player. There is also assistance available for the disabled and guide dogs are welcome. Review © 2007, Wcities |
