Blackwell Golf Club
Agmore Road, Blackwell, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, B60 1PY45 .

Much like many other historic Golf clubs in the UK, Blackwell was founded by a small group of local businessmen during a period of rapid expansion in the game in the late 19th century. In 1893, the 5 gentlemen secured a plot of 49 acres on which to design the first rudimentary 9 hole layout.

Serendipity was on the side of Blackwell as the land proved ideal for golfing, with rolling terrain and soil rich and sandy in composition. It is for this reason that Blackwell drains well to this day, and we are proud of the condition the course enjoys all year round.

Throughout those early years, the club grew in stature, and quickly became recognised as a site for fine amateur golf, hosting numerous exhibition matches and recognised as a sanctuary for camaraderie, and good golf in equal measure.

Copt Heath Golf Club
Sweetbriar Lane, Sheringham, Norfolk, NR26 8HG.

At the beginning of the last century, two of the greatest names of the day, Vardon and Colt, got together to design the classic parkland course layout that was to become known as Copt Heath Golf Club ..

The Club was founded in 1908 by the late Alfred Lovekin, to whom the estate on which the course is situated belonged. The beginnings were small, and the membership purely local, but things went so well that the nine-hole course was considered inadequate and under the supervision of Harry Vardon, an eighteen-hole course was laid out.
