Pype Hayes Golf Course

First go at a gym in a long while. My friend has become a member and I was able to accompany her on a free friend pass.
The gym is situated upstairs with the ground floor consisting of a café/​bar and locker room with showers. The entrance includes club information on weightwatchers, tribute nights and family discos.
The gym has up to date equipment which you can log into and set goals. The big perk is the large open windows facing the golf course providing a lovely view as you work out.

This is one of the best municipal golf courses in the city, and certainly one of the trickiest and longest. I’m not sure what they do differently at Pype Hayes compared to the other public courses in the city, but this one always seems to be in slightly better nick than the others, and particularly in winter when the others can get very, very boggy and wet. Perhaps the soil is different over there near Walmley and therefore the whole course drains a wee bit better.
It’s a full 18 hole course and, unlike public courses such as Harborne and Boldmere, you will definitely need to know your way around a driver if you hope to get round with a fairly decent score. It’s a LONG course.
The greens are always in good condition and are surrounded by often tricky hazards. One of the best things about Pype Hayes is that you turnaround at the club house, so you can nip in for the loo, or for a quick break over a cup of tea before you resume.
