Ladbrook Park Golf Club

Ladbrook Park Golf Club was founded in 1908 and has developed into one of the foremost golf clubs in the West Midlands. The course, designed by Harry S. Colt, as the name suggests is classified as parkland and has a brook meandering through its 144 acres. This brook comes into play on at least 11 of the 18 holes. Our ponds will occasionally entice the golfer to forfeit a penalty shot, but the more cautious will happily respect and resist the temptation of flirting with potential danger.
