Membership
Membership at Blackwell
Blackwell is unique compared to many modern clubs, as we will never have more than 200 full members. The benefits of a smaller membership mean we have plenty of capacity on the golf course, allowing our members almost unfettered access.
The small and intimate membership creates a very different experience from other modern clubs around the country, with lots of opportunities and events to enable new members to become quickly integrated into club life.
The Club Ethos
We have chosen not to have tee times aside from occasional busy competition days, and a popular aspect of club life is arriving in the morning and arranging a game or joining one of the popular roll-ups.
Many games are organised in the morning in our spike bar, with a core part of our club ethos ensuring “no one is left behind in the bar.”
Furthermore, as a club that encourages two-ball golf, pace of play is important to us. We believe the most enjoyable rounds of golf are completed in just over three hours, often including time for a drink in the spike bar at the turn. This makes foursomes golf very popular on our course, which is ideally suited to the format.
Life at Blackwell
We have an extensive club fixture list with competitions and matches throughout the year, suitable for players of all standards. Our unique clubhouse and celebrated food and wine cellar make Blackwell a club which is enjoyable to spend time at, both on and off the course.
Thanks to a relatively low level of play and a well-draining site, the course is only closed on extremely rare occasions. Our rural yet accessible location to the South-West of Birmingham is well connected to all major transport links.
Additionally, we offer a number of reciprocal arrangements with clubs around the world which are available to our members.
Blackwell Ladies
Blackwell Ladies is a thriving club in its own right, playing over the same course. It has an excellent Academy for new golfers, and a busy competition schedule.
There are also regular mixed events where members of both clubs enjoy playing and socialising together, further enhancing the welcoming community feel that defines the estate.
