A Tale Of Two Harries: Vardon And Colt's English Midlands Masterpiece

The 17th hole at Little Aston Golf Club.

Little Aston has long been one of the shining stars of Midlands golf, from its origins in 1908 right through to the present day. Set in the leafier suburbs to the north of Birmingham, the layout benefited from the design mind of Harry Vardon initially, with later enhancements by Harry Colt.
