Handsworth Golf Club is a superb undulating parkland course that's only a few miles from the city centre. It boasts some tight fairways which, should mother nature decide to kick up a fuss, can be susceptible to strong winds. A picturesque lake runs down the right hand side of the first stretch of the fairway so be sure to keep it left and avoid an early bath. As you'd expect from a club this age, Handsworth is a beautifully mature course - high tree-lined avenues, attractive borders and, although the city centre is only a matter of miles away, you'd be forgiven for thinking someone had misnamed the club and you were in fact out in the middle of the countryside. The course is voted 9th best in Warwickshire!

Captain's Trophy

Coffee and bacon sandwich on arrival (from 9.00)

Founded in 1902, this pleasant parkland course boasts many trees and a number of hazards to keep you on your toes throughout. Over the years Walmley has seen many changes, both to the course and the clubhouse, the latter built in the mid-1960s. The par 71 course stretches to 6,259 yards and provides a fair but challenging test of golf for players of any handicap. A fair number of holes are tree lined - keep it straight on these holes or you're in trouble - and twin lakes come into play on the fourth, fifth and sixth holes. The attractive clubhouse is ideal for post-round refreshments and offers magnificent view across the course. The course is voted 15th best in Warwickshire.

The unique and architecturally significant circular clubhouse commands superb views over the course and offers excellent facilities for entertaining, dining and relaxing.

This welcoming private members club, with its highly praised course and dramatic clubhouse, offers visitors a most enjoyable and testing golfing experience.
