About this course

Little Aston, a stalwart of Birmingham's golfing landscape, represents an inland counterpoint to the more celebrated links courses of the British Isles. Routed through mature parkland in the Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield, this course is less about battling the elements and more about navigating a strategic and thoughtful design. Originally conceived by Harry Vardon, with later subtle refinements by Colt, Alison, and Morrison, Little Aston presents a deceptively gentle challenge. Tight fairways bordered by mature trees demand accuracy from the tee, while well-guarded greens require a deft touch and precise distance control. While not nationally renowned, Little Aston holds considerable regional esteem and has hosted several prestigious amateur events, further solidifying its reputation as a test of golfing skill. Little Aston's charm extends beyond the course itself. The club maintains a traditional, almost familial atmosphere, known for its welcoming membership drawn from across the Birmingham area and beyond. The halfway house, a fixture on the course, is also known for its home made pies. This subtle touch of hospitality, along with the club’s commitment to the traditions of the game, helps cement Little Aston’s status as a cherished haven for golfers seeking both challenge and camaraderie.
