Since its establishment in 1892, Moseley Golf Club has held a distinguished place in Birmingham’s golfing heritage.

Originally located on farmland near Billesley Lane, the club moved in 1909 to its current site, where its scenic parkland course was laid out by the legendary Harry Colt. Today, our course retains much of Colt’s original design, offering a classic golfing experience with challenging fairways and fast, undulating greens that have been enjoyed by generations of golfers.

A Founding Legacy: The Tolkien Connection

Among our founding members was none other than a Tolkien—William Tolkien, a relative of the renowned author J.R.R. Tolkien, played a key role in establishing Moseley Golf Club. While the exact details of William’s influence remain a part of our cherished history, the Tolkien family’s early connection to the club adds a fascinating cultural link that enriches our heritage.

Honouring Legends

Over the years, Moseley Golf Club has produced and been supported by remarkable golfers who have left their mark on the club and on the sport.

Stanley Lunt: One of Moseley’s most celebrated members, Stanley Lunt achieved great recognition in the 1930s as the Captain of England and English Amateur Champion. To honour his legacy, we host the annual Lunt Cup, a prestigious competition that brings members together to celebrate his achievements and love for the game.

Roy Hobbis: Another beloved figure in our history, Roy Hobbis was a distinguished member known for his passion and dedication to the club. In his memory, we hold the Hobbis Trophy, a competition that continues to draw members each year, celebrating the spirit of competition and camaraderie he embodied.

Dr. Frank Stableford: Though not exclusive to Moseley, Dr. Stableford—known for creating the Stableford scoring system—was an influential figure in British golf and occasionally played on our course. His innovative scoring system has become a staple in competitions worldwide, influencing the way golfers of all levels experience the game.
