Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I find any golf courses in the West Midlands on GolfPlnr?

You're not missing anything - the West Midlands, while a vibrant region, isn't home to any golf courses we currently feature. It's more known for its industrial heritage, bustling cities like Birmingham, and beautiful countryside that isn't typically developed for golf. If you're looking for a round, you'll need to venture just outside its borders.

If I'm visiting the West Midlands, where's the closest golf I can play?

You'll need to look to the surrounding counties for your golf fix. We recommend heading north into Staffordshire or east into Warwickshire, where you'll find some excellent options like The Belfry or Forest of Arden, both easily accessible by car. Plan for a short drive, but the quality of golf makes it absolutely worth it.

Is the West Midlands a good base for a golf trip to England?

While the West Midlands itself lacks courses, it can be a surprisingly strategic base if you're willing to travel a bit. Its central location and excellent transport links mean you're well-placed to explore golf in neighboring regions like the Peak District, Shropshire, or even further afield. Just don't expect to walk out your door onto a fairway here.

What should I know about planning a golf trip around the West Midlands region?

Your main consideration will be travel time to courses outside the immediate West Midlands area. We suggest renting a car for maximum flexibility, allowing you to explore the fantastic courses in counties like Worcestershire or Leicestershire. The best time to visit for golf is late spring to early autumn, when the weather is most reliable for day trips.

Are there any future plans for golf course development in the West Midlands?

As of now, we haven't seen any significant plans for new golf course developments within the West Midlands' core boundaries. The region's focus tends to be on urban regeneration and preserving its existing green spaces for other recreational uses. For now, you'll continue to find your best golf just beyond its borders.
