KINGS NORTON GOLF CLUB
🏴 Birmingham, Worcestershire, England
Designed by F. Hawtree
Kings Norton Golf Club's Yellow course occupies gently rolling parkland in the Worcestershire countryside on Birmingham's southern fringe. F. Hawtree designed the layout, which represents the club's shorter or alternative course alongside its main championship layout. The routing makes use of mature woodland, established trees, and natural contours typical of the English Midlands landscape.
The course serves multiple purposes within the club's offering: providing a less demanding option for members, accommodating societies and visitors when the main course is busy, and offering a quicker round for those with limited time. The design incorporates strategic bunkering and green complexes that require thoughtful approach play despite the reduced length. Several holes move through tree-lined corridors, while others open onto more exposed terrain where wind becomes a factor.
Kings Norton Golf Club itself dates to the early twentieth century and maintains a traditional members' club atmosphere. The clubhouse and facilities reflect the club's heritage, with dining and social spaces that serve the local golfing community. The Yellow course complements the club's overall layout by providing variety in playing options while maintaining design standards consistent with the parkland character of the property.
