on first impresions it was a very well presented club freindly staff well signed areas and a well stocked shop.

all the tees were in very good condition the fairways on most holes were good but others need attention.

all that is left to add is the greens, i am sorry to say they let the rest of the course down, i dont play much but when i do i expect to be able to put without the ball jumping off the green and losing shots ,if a little time and care was taken on the greens it would have a lot more people playing this course .

i will be playing here again.

Hatchford brook is a very well designed golf course that sits next to birmingham airport almost on the runway!!! but dont let this put you off, the noise from the aircraft is not as bad as some make out.

There is a very good mix of long and short par 4s. the par 3s are well designed, the 17th plays a lot longer into the wind, when we played the average score was 6!!

The condition of the course was very good overall, the fairways where well drained and dry even after 7 days of constant rain. the greens could have done with a trim but they still ran true and fairly fast, although they where responsive to aproach shots.

The bunkers however are a complete desgrace. no rakes and no sand. each bunker was mainly mud and stones and realy let this otherwise great course down.

off course there is a well stocked pro-shop,good clean toilets and changing rooms rooms and a friendly comfortable non-smoking club house that over looks the first tee ,18th green and the putting green.

i would play here a lot more if it wasnt for the bunkers. still great value at £13 a round weekends. give it a try.

Hatchford Brook another name for Birmingham international Airport Golf Club. The best thing about this place is the modern club house. The course as a test is average. The rough, in some places is just well Rough, greens are mixed some good, some bumpy and not so good. To my mind it not really worth the effort unless of course you want to get a round in before you fly off to La Manga,talk about flight path! I think landing strip is more accurate.

having played this course at least once a week for the past 12 months i am pleased to say that it has fulfilled all my expectations.it is a really good test of a golfers ability and i feel it is maybe the best municipal course in birmingham.the fairways are exceptional(even in the winter months),and the greens are fair.having hit a hole in one on the par 3 13th recently i maybe a bit biased, but please give this course the respect it deserves.

I have played the course many times in the last 3 months and every time it has been in very good condition from tee to green. If it was a bit closer to my home i would definitely me a member.

Rating 8 out of 10.

First time I've been since the refurb, very nice. Fairways in good order but greens are a bit bumpy, but that apart it was an enjoyable round with some challenging holes.

JOHN YEOMANS (ENGLAND) 16/08/01

I play on this course regularly and since the refurbishment, I would say it is the best course in the W/Midlands. Canteen facilities are excellent, with friendly staff and good food, and a lovely new Club house. I agree that the 16" green should be a Par 5

Thank you

I thought the course was very well laid out, but plays quite hard due to the heavy rough, which starts off heavy and goes to unplayable , although the the course is well kept. With a variety of par 4's the course is also taxing

I live about one minute from the course and I played there very regularly indeed, but ow I`m at university I cannot play as regularly. This course, in my opinion is one of \r\nthe best Municipal Courses in Birmingham and I have played every one\r\nexcept Pype Hayes. It is kept in excellent condition (except now and again \r\nthe 3rd green has motorbike skid marks on it) and I thouroughly enjoy playing here regularly with friends\r\n(the pro knows who we are ....Dicky and co.)\r\nI would however like to give an opinion: the 16th hole, and many people agree with me, should be a \r\npar 5. It is a good hole, but it is slightly too long to be a par 4.\r\nSecondly, the stroke index for the fourth is wrong, as well as the 6th (stroke index 1?!?!)\r\nAnyway, I would like to know what the renovations are to the course as I drove past last week and it is all dug up? What`s\r\nhappening please?
