Sutton Coldfield Golf Club

Sutton Coldfield Golf Club is one of the most prestigious private members clubs in the Midlands. It was founded in 1889 and two years later moved to the present course in Sutton Park.

After the first World War Dr. Alister MacKenzie, a partner in Colt, MacKenzie and Alison, was asked to reconstruct the course. The work was completed in 1924 using the same principles used later at Augusta National and Royal Melbourne.

Since then various changes have been made by subsequent committees. Many holes have been extended through the construction of new tees and the course's length has been increased by over 400 yards.

MacKenzie once said: "If the suggested alterations are done... there will not be a single weak hole on the course."
