Blackwell Golf Club

The cluster of bunkers between our 3rd and 8th fairways serves a dual purpose.

Beautifully shaped, they look untouched since Tom Simpson placed them there over a century ago, and they remain just as effective today, sitting exactly where bailout shots tend to finish on both sides.

Often, parkland golf can be solely an aerial pursuit, at times repetitive and requiring little imagination.

We're fortunate with the course we have. Take the 14th for example: a pin tucked back left is still accessible if you're creative, using the slope from the right to feed the ball in.

Our stunning 13th hole demands respect. Bunkers guard the front, a winding ditch threatens bailouts to the right, and the left-to-right sloping green means no putt is a gimme. Treacherous beauty at its finest.

Views like this from the very first hole - not bad for a 10-minute drive from Junction 1 of the M42 and Junction 4 of the M5.

Our 11th has undergone a significant transformation. Tree removal has flooded the green with light and airflow, while our team, guided by Frank Pont, built new bunkers all in-house. A striking reshaping of the hole.

They don't build greensites like they used to. Our 15th is a prime example.

The slopes might not look like much from below, but those who have been above the hole over this summer will only remember too well how severe it is.

International friendship day is a great excuse to celebrate what we stand for as a club. 2-ball golf, foursomes, fun and camaraderie.
