It serves a huge local population who would be left with no substitute facility for miles. For most of the year, Hill Top course is full of golfers right through the week-end. Minimial investment in the course facilties is evident. Therefore, for BCC to say the course is losing £500K p/a is indicative of their total mismanagement of their funds. Authorities should be encouraging new sporting opportunities - not reducing them!

I learnt to play round here when golf would have been otherwise inaccessible due to cost. Although I mostly play other couses these days I believe it is essential to keep places like this open. Maybe the options havn`t been explored that might make the venue more profitable. There is a lot of competition out there these days.

I have played it for 30 years and always see a lot of golfers on the course.

It would be a crying shame if it were to close, in fact money should be invested into it to bring a modern centre for sport with driving range that would solve financial deficets

Investment is needed to place a modern day club house and liesure complex by the road (also attracting passing trade to use the catering facilities). It also needs to be properly marketed - I know people that live within 5 miles, have played golf for 20yrs and not heard of Hilltop.

Hmm - not very clever spending loads on fencing if its to close! - remember its still green belt land.

Parks are not expected to show a profit, but the idea of golf clubs not being fully self financing is viewed with horror.
I am proud of the facilities that Birmingham can rightly boast of in its literature on tourism. Closing down golf courses is a retrograde step.
