About the course
Formed in 1907, The Walsall Golf Club is situated in the West Midlands just a short distance from the Midlands Motorways link.
The 18 hole course has an abundance of sand traps with each and every green closely guarded by bunkers requiring a precise second shot.
The layout is little changed from Dr Mackenzie's original design but a careful programme of tree planting over the last fifty years means that every fairway is tree lined calling for greater accuracy from the tee than most courses.
