West Midlands Golf Club lies just beyond the southern edge of Birmingham, most easily accessed via Birmingham Airport - a brief fifteen-minute drive through the leafy suburbs of Solihull. The M42 motorway provides swift passage from London or Manchester, but the final approach abandons the hum of the motorway for the quiet, tree-lined residential streets that characterize this corner of the West Midlands. As you turn onto Marsh House Farm Lane, the landscape opens subtly, revealing the gently rolling parkland that has hosted members since 1936 - a pocket of tranquility tucked discreetly within one of England's most densely populated regions.
