Moseley Golf Club Kings Heath

Their website says the current course was designed in the 1920s so it must be the same place. I can see trees on the course from the end of our road.
 
Just edited post #2 as there is a Springfield Road Moseley but the golf club is Springfield Road Kings Heath (less than 2 miles apart).

Clubhouse looks to be much larger - can't see it from Streetview so am not sure if any of the 1936 building remains. Although on overhead view it looks as if it might.

Open Events :: Moseley Golf Club

A very warm welcome to Moseley Golf Club. Founded in 1892, our superb mature parkland course, designed by the renowned Harry Colt, is a challenging but fair test for golfers of all abilities with immaculate greens in use throughout the year.

Looks very much like the clubhouse in post #1 Janice. It was built in 1926.

Thanks for the additional information Janice. Viv.
 
I wonder if it might have been built around 1936.
1916 map has Billesley Hall where the clubhouse is now although the land round is marked as a golf course. On earlier maps Billesley Hall is marked as Billesleyhall Farm and I am sure I read somewhere that the farm land (or some of it) was sold to the golf club.

Sorry Janice I edited my post before you posted again as I realised it gave the date of the clubhouse in your link under the ‘Clubhouse/History’ page. Yes it seems the land was bought off Billesley Farm according to the history below. Sounds like some of the older buildings still exist. Viv.

I didn't read that far earlier today so I must have either read it earlier when looking at the history by where we live or read it in one of the books I have on the area.
Glad we got that sorted though.
