Walsall Golf Club

Fantastic place, course was in very good layout and great condition even with the hot weather.

Staff was friendly and helpful, members on the course was chatty and friendly,

I can’t wait to book again .

I work in the area a lot so thought I would give the course a try, it really is a little gem of a course. What it lacks in length in makes up in character and quality of conditions. Don’t get me wrong you can get the big dog out but it’s a strategic course! Pace of play was slow and a 3 ball in front refused to let me through!

That said, I would absolutely return and for 20 quid this was a bargain! Some of the best greens I’ve played on all year! And I’ve played some golf…as the Mrs lol!

This course is the best I've played so far this year. A one condition from tee to green. Had a fantastic round with no hold ups at all. Really enjoyed the experience on this mature beautiful course. Can't wait to play again, hope I can play as well as yesterday.

Great course, looked after unlike many others. Fairways trimmed nicely, greens very clean and even the rough looked well maintained. A definite recommendation and hard to beat for the price of £20.

Really enjoyable morning round. Course was in great condition, even with greens just being hollow tined and topdressed they played brilliantly. Course layout was fantastic as well, easy to follow for first time around the course.

Looking forward to going back

So this review is for Winter (after the rains in Feb/Mar)

I have played this course a few times in the summer and the conditions were night and day.

The Good

-The pro shop was very friendly and accommodating.

-The greens (that were playable) were well kept.

The Bad

-I booked through Golf Now and there was nothing to say it was "carry only" and that there were going to be temp greens.

-Despite getting the ok from the pro to use or push trolly - most of the members told us off on the course.

-Add to that we were behind a four-ball that was on a leisurely 9 hole run. I had no problems with that but the four ball behind kept yelling at us to go - despite seeing that we could reach the greens in regulation. They were pushing us to drop a ball on the four-ball in front!

-As I mentioned the greens were good - however, there were 5 temp greens. Two were temp for an hour or so as they were cutting them .... right in prime time golf hours (why not first thing in the morning or in the evening)?

-However, three were sanded - they knew these greens were going to be out of commission all day long and no notice. *Just bad business.

***Finally, I belong to a course close by to Walsall. It is supposed to be a pretty wet course in the Winter.

-This was the wettest course I have ever played. As a comparison, I played my home club the day before with only a couple of holes that were tough to play due to wet fairway conditions.

-At Walsall, I lost my shoe in the mud twice as the mud was so deep.

-It was really poor and really not good at all.

-I would strongly suggest you play anywhere else if it has been rainy.

NOW, in the summer the course is totally different and very enjoyable.

A wonderful peaceful place for a beautiful round of golf.

I have played this course in the summer and it is a nice layout with good greens. In the winter though the poor drainage ruins it. I have played rugby on better pitches than the fairways. Good shots punished by the ball plugging and being lost.

Lots of drainage being put in, nice adventure of a course, not many similar holes. Will be even better in the winter.

a bit up and down

still a nice track

lacking a little character in places

played in a B team club match

Couse plays short despite the wet conditions

The layout somewhat saves matters, but too many holes are a Good drive and pitch / wedge.

Course in great condition despite the arid weather we have all had. The greens were superb. Deliberately left a bit long i feel, for their protection from the elements, but still true rolling and fast enough. Golf courses are ever changing with the seasons and the weather, and the staff at Walsall seem to be on the ball with their knowledge. I have been here before and i am never dissappointed. And neither, i suspect, should anyone else who visits here.

Good quality course for a great price with friendly people
