West Midlands Golf Holidays

Why Choose the West Midlands for a Golf Trip?

If you want a golf weekend built around famous venues, quality resorts and convenience, the West Midlands is one of the strongest options in England.

The region is brilliantly connected from all directions, making it ideal for:

• Golf society weekends
• Corporate golf breaks
• Ryder Cup bucket-list trips
• One-night golf getaways
• Longer stay-and-play packages

Unlike some coastal golf regions, the West Midlands focuses heavily on resort golf. That means excellent hotels, multiple on-site courses, strong practice facilities, bars, spas and easy group logistics all in one place.

The Belfry: England's Most Iconic Golf Resort

You simply can't talk about golf holidays in the West Midlands without talking about The Belfry.

For many golfers, it's the ultimate UK golf-trip venue.

Host of multiple Ryder Cups and home to the famous Brabazon Course, The Belfry has become one of the most recognisable golf resorts in Europe. Even golfers who've never played it know the iconic holes, the water-lined drama and the tournament history attached to the venue.

And when you arrive, it feels like a proper golf resort should.

Big atmosphere. Huge clubhouse energy. Tour history everywhere you look.

The Brabazon remains the headline act, but the Derby and PGA National courses add even more variety for groups wanting multiple rounds across a weekend. It's exactly the type of venue that works brilliantly for golf societies, celebration trips and groups wanting a memorable golf experience close to home.

Resort Golf Across The Region

Beyond The Belfry, the West Midlands is packed with strong stay-and-play venues.

Forest of Arden Golf Resort is another standout, offering multiple championship-standard courses and one of the best all-round resort setups in the region. Courses like the Arden Course and Aylesford Course make it a very popular option for group golf weekends.

The Telford Hotel & Spa also continues to grow in popularity thanks to its scenic parkland layout and relaxed resort atmosphere, while The Welcombe Hotel near Stratford-upon-Avon combines golf with a more historic countryside setting.

Across the region, you'll find:

• Championship parkland courses
• Multi-course resorts
• Spa hotels
• Golf lodges
• Golf society-friendly venues
• Excellent practice facilities

It's a very easy part of the country to organise golf in.

Birmingham Golf Breaks

Birmingham acts as the natural hub for West Midlands golf trips.

That gives groups huge flexibility around travel, nightlife and accommodation. Whether you're planning a simple one-night golf break or a full weekend with food, drinks and multiple rounds, the region works extremely well logistically.

Courses and resorts around Birmingham also tend to offer excellent value compared to some of England's more famous coastal destinations, particularly for groups wanting quality resort golf without overseas prices.

Golf Courses in the West Midlands

The strength of the region is variety within resort golf.

You've got:

• Ryder Cup golf at The Belfry
• Championship resort golf at Forest of Arden
• Scenic parkland layouts
• Mature tree-lined courses
• Society-friendly golf resorts
• Highly playable courses for mixed-ability groups

That mix makes the West Midlands particularly appealing for group trips where not everybody plays off single figures. The golf is enjoyable, memorable and challenging without becoming punishing.

Easy UK Golf Weekends

One of the biggest advantages of the West Midlands is location.

For golf groups travelling from:

• London
• Manchester
• Leeds
• Bristol
• Liverpool
• Cardiff

...the region is usually straightforward to reach for a one or two-night trip.

That accessibility makes it one of England's most reliable golf-break destinations year-round.

Best Time to Visit

The West Midlands golf season runs strongly from spring through autumn, although the resort-focused nature of the region means many venues remain excellent winter golf options too.

Summer is naturally busiest, particularly at The Belfry, so earlier booking is always recommended for prime tee times and weekend stays.
