Edgbaston Golf Course

West Midlands, United Kingdom

Edgbaston Golf Club is a parkland golf course established in 1896, located just over a mile from Birmingham City Centre in Warwickshire. Designed by renowned architect Harry S. Colt, the course measures 6,128 yards with a par of 69 and features a slope rating of 132, presenting a challenging layout for players of all abilities. The course is characterized by wide, sweeping tree-lined fairways, newly renovated bunkers, and tight, pristine greens that wind through the grounds of Edgbaston Hall, a Georgian Grade II listed building. The setting is enhanced by Edgbaston Pool, an 11-acre ornamental lake adjacent to the course with abundant birdlife, creating a natural parkland environment. With its 132 slope rating, the course presents considerable difficulty through carefully crafted strategic design. The layout offers challenges suitable for both low and high handicappers. The club has been voted among the top three courses in Warwickshire and is recognized as a premier venue for golf days and tournaments. The clubhouse, housed in the sympathetically refurbished Edgbaston Hall, provides facilities overlooking the course from a south-facing terrace.
