We were given a really warm welcome and were soon sitting on the terrace on the beautiful rattan furniture enjoying bacon butties in the sunshine. The golf course was very well maintained and quiet in the afternoons. We used our irons a lot which was good practice and there are plenty of bunkers. Some of the holes are a little similar in terms of terrain. The evening meals were really delicious, particularly the carvery which is a choice on the menu every day. The prices at the bar are very reasonable. The rooms were situated next to the 18th fairway and green and we enjoyed sitting in the sun after our games and watching the other golfers finishing their rounds. The accommodation is extremely clean with very comfortable beds, crisp white linen and lovely big walk in showers. This was a really excellent 'value for money' golf break. We loved it!!

We stayed here for one night. The lodges are in a nice setting but check in was interesting. They insist on putting a £100 hold on our credit card even though the room was prepaid. The room itself was basic, nice enough with poor condition carpeting. Also the rooms have no wifi which in 2015 at £90 a night is unheard of. We stayed here to attend a function so for what we wanted it worked. I wouldn't stay here again as it is a bit basic for me and the lack of wifi is a deal breaker.

Stayed here for 1 night whilst visiting family nearby. The receptionist gave us a very warm welcome and when we asked if we could walk around the golf course we were loaned an umbrella as there was a chance of rain. This was a really nice touch. We had a drink in the bar and wanted a bar snack but the options were limited by lack of availability. The cabin was really nice. Lovely comfortable bed but the lighting could have been much better the cabin was quite dark and the mirror over the dressing table was in a dark corner so not ideal, however, the lit mirror in the bathroom was excellent. The bathroom was lovely and the towels were of good quality. The windows in the cabin were locked so opening them could have been difficult had we not found a key for them wedged in the frame, the windows hadn't been opened in a long time the cobwebs were testament to this. There were no seats outside the cabins as advertised and it would have been nice to sit to watch the golfers. All the staff we met were very friendly and attentive. We would probably stay here again when visiting the area.

I've just spent a golfing weekend here with 7 others. We were all overwhelmed by the practice facilities , the course and the standard of the food and service. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. 1 night stay and 2 rounds of golf including dinner , bed and breakfast for just over £100 each. Incredible value for money. The lodges were overlooking the 18th fairway and were clean and well furnished. Much better than staying in a hotel. All the lads were pleased with the evening meal and we even got the sunshine for the golf. Amazing weekend will definitely be returning soon.

These Chalets are right along the 18th fairway and really are superb. Everything you need and you can sit and watch all the other golfers playing the 18th hole. Food in the main bar/clubhouse is also very good and the service is excellent. Overall cannot fault it and will certainly recommend these to any of my golfing friends.

Stayed for one night while in the area.but didn't have time to play golf but the course looked in beautiful condition.Unbelievable countryside so close to Walsall.We found staff helpful but there was little atmosphere in the main buildings and no-one eating in the restuarant which put us off from having the carvery which looked very dried up and uninviting..Looking at other reviews it appears that it is possible to walk around the course but we were told to return to the club house when we tried to have a short walk.The cabin was clean and adequate but a little dark with small windows.The bathroom was clean withe an excellent large shower. It would have been nice to be able to sit on the verandah but no chairs were available.
Food at The Dilke at the entrance gate to the golf club was excellent both for lunch and dinner. For breakfast we went into Walsall,parked in Morrison's Car Park and went to St Matthew's Hall (Wetherspoons) in the street next to the Civic buildings. Beautiful building inside and great breakfast.

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.
