Blackwell is a nice parkland course just south of Birmingham, and a club where tradition rules. As a golf course, I don't think it is quite in the same league as Little Aston (probably the premier parkland course in the area). From memory, it has a number of quite short and tricky par 4's - ideal for the aging membership; but enough strength to keep it interesting for most.
Unless time has softened the lines, I don't think the course is quite as dramatic as the sketches appear to be, although they do highlight the features and design. I guess that's probably deliberate.
