Shirley Golf Club

Shirley Golf Club is located in Shirley, a large suburb on the southern edge of the Solihull and south Birmingham conurbation, in the B90 postcode area of the West Midlands. Shirley grew rapidly during the twentieth century as Birmingham's built-up area expanded south along the Stratford Road, absorbing what had been a scatter of villages and farmland into a continuous suburban belt, though pockets of green space, including several golf courses, survived that growth and now sit within easy reach of dense residential streets. To the south and east, the land opens out into the more rural fringes of Warwickshire, giving courses in this part of Solihull borough a transitional setting between city suburb and open countryside. The area is well served by road, sitting close to the M42 and within a short drive of both Birmingham city centre and Solihull town centre, making it a convenient location for golfers based across the wider conurbation.
