As a friend and I was staying in Sutton Coldfield I looked for a round of golf on a Saturday but was challenged with a lot of other clubs stating they were members only on the weekend. However Calderfields offered a tee time. Interestingly there is a separate golf shop in the car park opposite the club house and it's well worth a visit, the guys were really friendly and offered good sound advise. As for the golf, the course was in good condition and some interesting holes make you think about the right clubs to choose. The only down side was the pace of play. We followed a 3 ball for a majority of the round who had a couple of teenagers that were taking a great deal of time and the round took over 4hours. We waited on one tee for 10mins which is frustrating. However that shouldn't put you off playing as it's a good course.

I played this course in November last year and I wasn't really sure about it but decided to give it another go... I was really pleased I did. The fairways and green's were in excellent condition, the bunkers were sandy rather than hard mud. You had some interesting holes with short/driveable par 4's that provides risk and reward, water hazards, drop holes and tight fairways. It was a good challenge but not unfair for mid to high handicappers. All in all a good course and I plan to now try the Crown course.
