What the club says: The West Midlands Golf Club is an 18 Hole Golf Course built to United States Golf Association specification with the 18th hole being an island green similar to the 17th at Sawgrass, Florida. The excellent drainage allows play all year round. A buggy path allows use of golf buggies in any weather.

Challenging undulating gem

Love playing this course its such a challenge. There's a great variety of holes that tests even a more competent player let alone a beginner like myself. Starts of quite gently but by the end you know that you've walked a fair distance. At only ?22 for a round on a Saturday morning is excellent value and I will definately being playing again & again!

Post lockdown

Good to be back playing again
The course was in reasonable condition but bare in patches on the fairways and the greens were uneven. We were a little surprised given it had not been played for 3 months.

Outstanding greens!

Outstanding greens considering that the course was completely waterlogged and in some parts, unplayable. Excellent customer service and a great track, well worth a trip.

Wouldn?t rush back

Played the course in October when it?s perhaps not at its best but I wouldn?t rush back. Greens were quick and in good condition, the GPS screens on the buggies are great and the signature 18th is a great finishing hole. Negatives though it felt a bit like a business trying to turnover cash that?s struggling a bit. What should be an impressive fountain out front is overflowing with algae on every level, the fairways weren?t great in places, some having had a bit of a half done repair job. Bunkers weren?t great and the tee boxes for the yellows were awful (the reds, blues and whites on the whole actually looked ok). Not a terrible course but not that attractive or interesting.

Nice course

Tees were mostly disgusting, A good case for larger tees that can be moved around. Greens excellent and fairways in the main very good indeed.

Better than expected

Better than I had expected, good value. The par 6 is a gimmick. The 18th too short from yellow tees.

Great course

Lovely Golf course, had rained a lot and other than a few puddles off the fairways and waterlogged bunkers the course was in great shape and can't wait to go back soon.

Don’t think you’ll get much better for £20. Played midweek and after letting a quicker 2 ball play through it was like millionaires golf. Greens excellent. Course conditions superb. Good pint in the bar too.

Great course

The course was in great condition with very tricky putting greens. The course is a very good test for handicaps and a pleasure to play.

lovely course maturing nicely

played this course in the early stages of opening and I've got to say its maturing nicely. Long course, challenging holes, fairways and greens in top condition, so congrats to groundstaff. Well worth playing.

Reasonable course for the cost

The weather was warm and ground was dry, so plenty of roll, especially with the wind behind. Greens were very fast, too fast for my own liking. Unfortunately that was the only thing that was fast. We were a 2 ball and were held up by a slow 4 ball for 9 holes. They had noone in front of them but they wouldn't let us through till the 16th.
This could put people off playing at a venue.

Great Course, Great character.

Played West Midlands today. 1st time in quite a few years so was looking forward to it. Still a great course with some very strategic holes where you gottta think about the shot before you dive in the bag. The Par 6 is an amazing hole with what looks like little danger until you go too far left or right and it bites you. As always the 18th par 3 Island hole is quite rightly so the signature hole for this course. Too little and it dumps in front of water and too much and its straight over the back and wet again. many thanks to the guys who run and own this. You guys are doing a great job. Keep it up.
