Birmingham

England's second city punches well above its weight on the fairways. Birmingham and the surrounding West Midlands countryside harbour a remarkable collection of classic parkland and heathland courses — many shaped by the golden-age hands of Harry Colt, Harry Vardon and their contemporaries. Sutton Coldfield Golf Club's revitalised heathland and the Georgian elegance of Edgbaston are just two reasons why this underrated region deserves a place on every serious golfer's itinerary.
