Sandwell Park Golf Club

It was our first time playing here and we were all very impressed. Lots of strong holes, with well placed hazards to make scoring a challenge. Fairways were immaculate, rough well kept, bunkers all raked and greens quick and tough + plenty of green staff out on the course which is always good to see. There are several unique holes towards the start and end of the round. The tees need work as they are really scruffy and not in line with the rest of the course currently. Overall a strong track and we will be back despite the challenging drive with the M6 and M5!

Half hour delay as they had a large society meeting. Didnt know about this until we arrived.

We were booked to tee off at 15:25 but didnt start until 16:05 and then took 3.5hrs to play 9 holes when we decided to leave the course as daylight would be gone by the time we got to the 18th.

3 groups in front of us also left and another group went back to the 1st tee and played the front 9 twice.

Totally unacceptable!

£30 each to play 9holes the slowest ive ever played.

Cant really comment on the course because we didn't play it all.

About time the course and also golf now stated competition and society meetings on their websites before allowing any bookings.

Not happy at all.

Best course in midlands for value for money . Greens are immaculate course brilliant condition

Been fortunate enough to visit Sandwell around 4 times since recently moving to Birmingham. A real convenience when living in the city. Both myself and my playing partner are established golfers at our previous courses (9 & 10 handicaps) and were looking for somewhere convenient to join in the coming months.

I couldn't fault the staff on all of our 3 initial visits being incredibly welcoming and offering words of advice for things to look out for on the course as a visitor. Sadly our most recent and unfortunately our last visit couldn't be further from this.

We arrived at the course and went into the pro shop straight away, we hadn't booked due to the website showing no availability. Due to a short journey and never having any issues before when this had been the case on the website we showed up in no rush to play on our arrival. When we entered the pro shop we were rudely greeted by a female member of staff who looked up and quickly straight back down at her phone. We patiently waited giving the benefit of the doubt. She then asked if we had booked a tee time, we explained we had not booked due to the website showing no availability, we thought best show up and see what they could do as on our previous 3 visits we had done the exact same.

She assured us that "they don't really accept visitors so that their members can get out whenever they would like". Interesting statement considering our previous visits. Politely we appreciate if this is the policy that's okay and we replied said no problem, so likely we can't play today?

After much deliberation we were told we could go out in 2 minutes and "squeeze out". After payment we exited the shop and were watched from the doorway until both balls were hit down the 1st. What a pleasant experience for a visitor being eagerly watched as you start your round. I presume she was watching to see if we could actually play golf. Luckily even with the added pressure we proved that we can play golf and are both clearly fairly competent.

We rushed our way through the first holes. Very much under the impression that we'd squeezed out when a lot of members were playing. Looking back for the entire round we only saw one golfer that went out behind us. Quite comical really.

Myself and my playing partner could only describe the encounter as a real shame. A hidden gem of a course ruined by a frankly unprofessional member of the 'professional shop'. These types of encounters are what make people feel they are unwelcome to take up the game of golf. Myself and my playing partner are good golfers and we felt completely out of place on this day. A bad representation of a course with seemingly rich history ruined by a member of staff who doesn't like new faces at the course. Point taken we won't be back.

You have our names for the tee time should you need to contact me.

Lovely course, excellent condition.

Tee and fairways very good, green true and fast 👌👏

Was let down by the bunkers, avoid as they are not full of sand but Hardcore, far to many stones and rocks and I mean Rock, shocking !!!!

What a cracking course. In fantastic condition and greens slick and true. I'll definitely be back. Some challenging, undulating holes that make you think. Greens that punish anything wayward with some steep drop offs. Great value midweek.

A little patch of tranquility in the middle of the Black Country. Excellent.

Good course in excellent condition. The Fairways and greens were brilliant compared to some other courses I have played this year, its been so wet, but Sandwelll seem to have sorted out the drainage. No poor lies as long as you stick to the short stuff.

Course in great condition, fairways decent and greens were running lovely. A challenging course but very fair. A real mix of interesting and fun holes. It was a beautiful day for golf, and at £35, outstanding value.

Excellent course got to be one of best in midlands . Condition was excellent greens run true and fast . You will not play better course for money

I dare anyone to find a better value course than Sandwell Park golf club. From the play out, to the carpet like fairways, the tree lined fairways and the friendly staff/members. Just a lovely lovely parkland course hidden away from suburbia.

Nice course nice layout a good test of your golfing ability and well maintained

Course was in great condition considering the amount of rain over previous few days, for the time of year greens were in excellent condition and as quick as any I've played this year.

Lovely course’ will punish you if you are wayward, the greens were so pure and fast , a putt you think that’s not reaching will sail past three to four foot.One small criticism tee boxes could do with a bit of TLC, but would recommend to friends and will certainly play again.if opportunity arises.Course very quite when we played like millionaires golf.Hard to believe this course is just off the motorway.
