Played in October. Excellent. Great work being done on the bunkers which are to be avoided! Great quick greens. A McKenzie classic. Will be back.

Not to be recommended

Heathland course, in pretty good condition considering the recent weather. Greens were very good, and the fairways wet in places but still very playable.
The problem was that when we finished our round, and wanted to go into the clubhouse for refreshment, we were not allowed to, being told that a couple of members of our party were not dressed appropriately. One was wearing shorts, and the other wearing smart trousers, although not a Golf ?brand?. This was not mentioned in any way when we were paying our green fees in the shop. The club was perfectly happy to take our ?275.00 for the 5 of us to use the course, but then presented us with a very rude and ignorant attitude afterwards. This club needs to get itself in to the 21st century, and change their arrogant, elitist approach to non-members. I will never recommend this club to anybody.

Fast Greens

i have played here in two open events recently and it is a superb course in fantastic condition with probably the fastest fairways of any inland course I have played. Greens are excellent but very fast and difficult. if you get the wrong side of the hole you will have problems.

This course will let you know how good a golfer you are. Highly recommended

Well Designed heathland Challenge

Some good driving opportunities with wide open vistas and shorter holes cut into ancient woodland, there's a lot of variety here. Three consecutive par 5's is unusual, but they all run in different directions so you'll have one with a following wind! Chance to score well if you keep straight, but a good short game is needed as the fast greens are the defence on this course.... I thoroughly enjoyed it!

£40 for the winter series

I'm a fan of Sutton, but I'm not sure it's worth £40 through the winter months. the layout is tough if you're offline your in trouble, greens are excellent as are the fairways. white tee's are shabby tho and not in great condition.

excellent welcome by this years captain handing out the bacon sarnies on arrival, fantastic touch. trackman on the first tee :-) and trick shot by http://www.theaspirationgroup.co.uk on the 9th

A good day, but it's winter so I feel £30 is about right, but it's Sutton Coldfield not Brampton

Practice area is near 12th tee about 1/2 a mile away, but they have 2 nets at the club for quick warm up.

Very fast greens and lots of run on fairways, difficult lies off fairways uneven ground only criticism. Greens been vandalized in many places.but not detrimental to a round of golf, a great shame.

We are members of a nearby course an decided to try out Sutton Coldfield due to our court being more akin to a bog.

What a treat it was, course was in great condition for time of year (forget time of year actually, course was just in great nick full stop). The pro was very friendly and all members made us very welcome. We will most certainly be back!

Well what can I say, we went searching for a course that stands up to all the rain we have had lately and what a gem we found in Sutton Coldfield golf club. The course was bone dry after heavy rainfall the night before it really is a true heathland course. There was a stiff 20mph wind which made it a good test of golf. Some lovely holes and greens were in very condition. Very reasonably priced for a weekend. Thanks Sutton we'll be back!!!

Played this lovely course yesterday and what a course. Very mature which plays like a Lynx course. No chance of stopping on the greens so you have to pitch short.
Greens running very true and fast. Couldn't have been welcomed more by the club and food was excellent .
Definitely going back to play again

I was working at the NEC Birmingham and was recommended to this course and I could not believe how good this course was. Its in the middle of a 2000 acre park with no 2 holes the same and is a great track. I was just as good as Sunningdale which is my favourite and in February Sutton actually has better greens and I will be back to play this super course again as its a real gem and only £35 !
