Little Lakes Golf Club

Little Lakes Golf Club was established in 1975 near Kidderminster in Worcestershire, originally opening as a nine-hole course. Over the following decades the club expanded to an eighteen-hole layout, which became a well-regarded venue for society, corporate and county golf. More recently the club has moved back to its original nine-hole format, now played from eighteen tees to create a full round, a change made to keep the game more approachable and relaxed for a wider range of players. Buggies are available to hire, and the club runs a golf academy under its resident professional, offering tuition alongside the playing side of the operation. Green fees are tiered by day and hole count, with adult rates around fifteen pounds for nine holes on weekdays rising to the mid-twenties for a full round at weekends, with reduced junior pricing throughout. The course sits within the Wyre Forest district of Worcestershire, an area known for its wooded countryside near the Severn valley. Little Lakes' return to a shorter format reflects a broader shift among some smaller English clubs towards formats designed to lower the time and cost barriers to playing regularly.
