Courses
The Weatheroak
Most of our Opens and major club competitions are played on The Weatheroak, each tee providing a true test commensurate with handicap.
Highlights
Look out for the par 4 2nd which requires two shots over water from the back tees, the long par 3 3rd where anything but straight usually means trouble, the par 4 SI 1 6th where taking on the large Oak over the 90 degree dogleg means dicing with both OoB and the brook across the fairway, and the idyllic par 3 7th over a large expanse of water before hitting the almost island green.
On the back 9 it is tempting to drive the green on the shortish par 4 12th, the rollercoaster par 5 13th has a reachable brook from the tee for the longest hitters before a narrow entrance to the green catches many out, the second shot on the par 4 15th offers possibly the best view on the course at certain times of the year, the stunning par 4 16th offers a choice of two fairways with a parallel brook and fountain running pretty much from tee to green and the par 3 17th has a brook, a pond, trees, bunkers and OoB to take into account.

The Wythall
Highlights
It is tempting to drive the green on the shortish par 4 3rd, the rollercoaster par 5 4th has a reachable brook from the tee for the longest hitters before a narrow entrance to the green catches many out, the second shot on the par 4 6th offers possibly the best view on the course at certain times of the year, the stunning par 4 7th offers a choice of two fairways with a parallel brook and fountain running pretty much from tee to green and the par 3 8th has a brook, a pond, trees, bunkers and OoB to take into account.
The par 3 13th has trouble left, right and OoB to the back with a deceptively difficult sloping green with many a good golfer three putting, the pretty par 5 14th swings gently in a clockwise direction with a brook ready to gobble a long tee shot and from 100 yards out anything landing on the right hand side of the fairway has a chance of getting wet, from the back tees the par 3 16th becomes a very different hole with an elevated tee and narrow outlet as not making the elevated green often means playing a second shot from 20 foot below the flag.

Highlights
The par 3 4th has trouble left, right and OoB to the back with a dastardly difficult sloping green with many a good golfer three putting, the pretty par 5 5th swings gently in a clockwise direction with a brook ready to gobble a long tee shot and from 100 yards out anything landing on the right hand side of the fairway has a chance of getting wet, from the back tees the par 3 7th becomes a very different hole with an elevated tee and narrow outlet as not making the elevated green often means playing a second shot from 20 foot below the flag.
Look out for the par 4 11th which requires two shots over water from the back tees, the long par 3 12th where anything but straight usually means trouble, the par 4 SI 1 15th where taking on the large Oak over the 90 degree dogleg means dicing with both OoB and the brook across the fairway, and the idyllic par 3 16th over a large expanse of water before hitting the almost island green.

The Academy Course
In addition to the 27 holes across The Weatheroak, The Wythall and The Brockhill, Kings Norton Golf Club also offers a nine hole par 3 Academy Course. It is a different challenge with small greens and tight approaches from tee to green, all aimed at improving accuracy and distance with the shorter irons. Membership is available for the Academy Course in isolation and at a significantly reduced cost. Indeed some of those new to golf use it as a step to the longer holes. Full members will often use the facility for a practice round or a warm up before playing one of the main courses.
