I recently got married at Calderfields and have only the highest praise for the venue. The staff are extremely helpful and went out their way to ensure we had a fantastic day. Aleisha, Richard, Dan and the rest of the staff should be very proud of all their work!
The clubhouse, bar and marquee room are fantastic and the terrace over looking the golf course is excellent. The newly built lodges are of a very high standard and we would happily recommend them to anyone. We would definitely stay again. The quality of food is excellent and incredibly reasonable and the surroundings are very comfortable.
The atmosphere and general mood of Calderfields is exceptional, with everyone more than happy to help and answer any queries you may have. All our guests commented on how fantastic the venue was and they have said they would not hesitate in booking Calderfields for any of their special occasions in the future.
I am also a golfer and from a golf point of view the course is very good. I was a member here as a junior many years ago and the improvements are incredible. The course has matured beautifully and is in excellent condition, the greens are especially good with well struck putts running straight and true. I played here the day before my wedding with Aleisha again more than helpful in organising this. The bar is welcoming and there are excellent changing facilities as well as practice areas, including a driving range, two putting greens and a short game area.
We had breakfast the morning after the wedding and again this was superb with a full cooked breakfast available and a buffet with ample tea, coffee, toast etc.
I cannot recommend this place highly enough and would just like to say a massive thank you to Calderfields Golf & Country Club and all their excellent staff.

Following a church wedding our granddaughter held her reception here. Excellent service provided by everyone, room was decorated lovely, food was great. the whole planning was very relaxed, the wedding advisor Alisha is lovely, and the general manager Richard is very helpful. All the staff are very helpful and professional. we stayed in one of the cabins for the night, and found them very well equipped .Breakfast the following morning had a very good selection of hot and cold dishes.

I arrived late during the week for an overnight business stay and reception was closed but the bar staff looked after me, which was fine. The rooms are wooden cabins but very comfortable and well fitted out and maintained. They are a bit of a trek from the club itself, so pack a brolly in case it rains for your walk back for breakfast. The surroundings are very tranquil and pleasant, so a big change from Walsall itself, which was the big reason to stay here.
Two things let down my stay, which was a shame because they are easily remedied. First, breakfast was awful. Looked great, but mushrooms and sausage were completely tasteless. Really surprising at a Golf Club where surely members and visiting golfers insist on higher standards for £79 a night. My advice is to skip breakfast and get it elsewhere. They also do not start serving it until 8am, which is often too late for business travellers, but is probably done to please the kitchen staff. Wrong priorities here! Checking out was an ordeal with credit card readers not working and took too long, particularly when breakfast is served so late. Hope someone from the Club reads this review and does something about the two points mentioned, because the accommodation is excellent and deserves better support from the kitchen and reception.

Stayed one night in cabin with view over golf course. Refreshments on offer in room but there was no hairdryer, even though this is listed as provided, which was a bit of a setback in getting ready! Staff were lovely and friendly, and reception service was very good. Only drawback was that as windows faced out onto the golf course (which is very scenic), there was a lack of privacy. I didn't have breakfast so unable to comment on service or standard. Overall, Calderfields offered good value for money and I would stay there again.

Booked as a last minute overnight golf break. Stayed in one of the wooden lodges which was adequate and clean, although a hairdryer would have been a welcome addition. The break included 2 rounds of golf for two people with bed, breakfast and an evening meal. Before booking I had looked online at the website to view the menu for the evening meal but on arrival at the hotel we had to choose from a set menu, which I wasn't very enamoured by. The girl at Reception said that was the only evening menu, the one on the website being for during the day, It would help if this was known before booking. Another couple were saying the same thing at breakfast. Having said that, the food for the evening meal was lovely and very well presented although the Tarte Au Citron had become a Lemon Meringue with no explanation! However breakfast was another matter. It was almost assumed that you'd stopped before and knew what was supposed to happen. You help yourself to cereals and toast etc. and choose your own cooked breakfast elements from a guy at the bar. When mine arrived, the tinned tomatoes were stone cold (having been nowhere near a heat source whatsoever) as was the bacon Luke warm and my other half's was the same. The waitress apologised but by then we'd had enough anyway.
With regard to the golf, the greens aren't top notch and I have never seen such narrow fairways with a lot of the time someone facing you where their ball had crossed onto your "lane" as it were. At one point on the course, 3 balls came over dangerously close (despite distorted shouts in the distance - think of the yell of a Newspaper Seller) but due to the trees and angles of the holes we had no idea where they'd come from and I doubt the "hitters" even knew where their balls had gone as no one came to look for them. OK for a one night stay.

A group of 9 of us came here for a Friday night dinner. Everything was spot on, service, bar and the meal. Prices were very reasonable considering the high standards they offer. Will visit here again. TV

Went for a golf weekend and had great time. The lodges are to a very high standard and the course is in very good nick despite is being November. Extra mention for the course martial who was very helpful and also brought round food and drink! Staff and clubhouse are very good, friendly and not expensive for food/drinks. Definitely worth a visit!

Stayed here for a function at the golf club. Had a chalet which was comfy and well equipped for the stay. Had breakfast next day which was nice as well. Nice view over golf course as well. Good location convenient to Walsall and Birmingham if you fancy some shopping

First time at Calderfields last night for the dreaded annual Christmas party! My expectations were low as usually it becomes a huge production line with tepid, over cooked food.What a lovely surprise I got.The function room wasnt over crammed with tables so there was plenty of room to negotiate round and was tastefully decorated.The bar staff were efficient and in high demand , the prices average for a hotel. The food service was exceptional, like a well oiled machine, the waiting staff were amazing. Food was served quickly and was hot !! Id ordered the vegetarian option, veggy soup, and a puff pastry parcel of brie, cranberry and mushroom, Ive got to say it was delicious.Top that with cheescake, mince pies and coffee.Good quality, hot food well presented. So many venues go for the "quantity not quality" slant in the Christmas party season. Not so Calderfields, quality all the way and a really enjoyable party night. Well done to all the staff!!
