The course

A Standout Parkland Course in Handsworth Wood

The course is at the heart of the club. Handsworth offers a mature 18-hole parkland layout with excellent greens, varied holes, tree-lined fairways, memorable views and strong course condition throughout the year.

The layout rewards good decision-making and careful shot selection, while good winter drainage helps support playability during colder and wetter months.
