About this course

Moseley Golf Club sits in the Moseley and Kings Heath districts of Birmingham, occupying parkland terrain that has hosted golf since the club's founding in 1892. The course was redesigned by Harry S. Colt in the early twentieth century, bringing his characteristic strategic design principles to this urban setting. Colt's work at Moseley reflects his attention to natural contours and his preference for routing that uses existing topography to create variety and interest. The layout moves through mature woodland and open parkland, with tree-lined fairways and elevation changes that add dimension to what might otherwise be flat Birmingham terrain. The course measures around 6,300 yards from the back tees and features several holes where positioning off the tee determines the difficulty of the approach. Colt's bunkering remains evident in the design, with hazards placed to reward accurate play and penalize wayward shots. The greens are typically subtle in their contours, requiring careful reading and touch. Moseley has a long history in Midlands golf and has hosted regional amateur competitions over the decades. The club maintains a traditional members' club atmosphere, with a clubhouse that reflects its Victorian-era origins. The course remains a well-regarded example of Colt's work in an urban parkland setting, offering a test of golf that emphasizes accuracy and course management over length. Its location within Birmingham makes it accessible to the city's golfing community while retaining a sense of seclusion within its wooded boundaries.

Getting there

The journey to Moseley Golf Club begins at Birmingham Airport, a mere twenty-minute drive to the south, making this one of England's most accessible championship venues for travelers arriving from across Europe or beyond. The route north traces the edge of the city's leafy southern suburbs, where Victorian villas give way to the mature parkland of Balsall Heath and Kings Heath, before arriving at the club's discreet entrance on Springfield Road. For those traveling by rail, Birmingham New Street and Moor Street stations offer swift connections to the city center, with the club positioned just a short taxi ride into the residential elegance of Moseley village - a journey that feels less like entering a metropolis and more like discovering a hidden pocket of Edwardian tranquility within it.
