Lichfield Golf and Country Club

Fantastic experience: Fantastic club

Negative experience: Come to enquire about health and golf membership, before I even got there was approached by a rude member that thinks they own the road, played the mud bath par 3 course, gave up after 3 holes, place is an absolute joke never again which is a shame as I work around the corner

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful Golf and Country Club. Great swimming pool and I think the Strike Shack is stunning! Staff is very helpful and a pleasure to work with.

Positive experience: All a bit average. Far too many holes are same similar length 3 wood and short or mid iron. No hole felt like a challenge. Locker room was painfully small. Food was decidedly average and a quite expensive bar with chilled London Pride ( really !!!) Finished off an average day.

Positive experience: Green approaches are much improved here and the rough has been cut to more sensible levels.. Played 18 holes today and not one bunker had been raked by the ground staff - many had footprints where previous players could not be bothered to rake or they played last night and expected the greens team to complete . Non raking of bunkers has been an issue here for the last few yrs and the renovations have not improved matters. Members expect every bunker to be raked every day unless it’s raining.

Fantastic experience: Julie gave me a fantastic tour of the facilities & made me feel so welcome thanks again!

Positive experience: If you like breathing second-hand vape fumes on a driving range and listening to bad language then this may be for you. The venue is set up very well but unfortunately some members have no respect for others and casually swear, spit and smoke in public areas. On a positive note the staff are helpful and amenities well looked after. LG&CC please ask patrons to respect the other guests using the facilities and you could easily get a 5 star review. As the club has reached out, I will up the rating to 4. Thank you Debi

Fantastic experience: Have only been a member for a couple of weeks ,and I know I have made the right decision to join. The Club staff are friendly and the pool area is clean and welcoming, as are the showers steam room, Jacuzzi and sauna. The gym is well stocked with modern training equipment and a good size. I also like the bar area ,where food is available ,and I also think it is a good idea that various club evenings are available to attend. The whole idea of a country club is to be able to relax and this club totally ticks that box. I will definitely try the golf part as well ,as this also looks excellent.5 Star

Negative experience: Very disappointing club to be a member of. Golf course has barely been playable for months. No offers of reduced membership cost while golf course is under repair for 2 years. I struggle to see why the green fees are so high when the course isn’t being looked after. No member discount on the driving range is also ridiculous. The price of a basket of balls is above anywhere else I know. That’s if there are any balls available to vend. Incentive to bring in new members are not fulfilled, even after asking multiple times at reception. Gym and bar staff are propping the place up. Very friendly and great atmosphere. Unfortunately feels like the club company’s forgotten club.

Fantastic experience: The crèche at Lichfield golf course are just the best! We attended one of the family events today (mad hatters tea party) the children had the best time and can’t wait to come back for the half term activities, Beth and the team made so much effort to make it special, we can’t wait to join in with more fun filled days at the crèche :)

Positive experience: Nine hole course is good when it's open. The wet winter over 2023/2024 meant it was closed quite often, but they have a programme over several years to add sand and improve the situation. Friendly staff.

Negative experience: 18 hole course Always half closed, 9 hole tee boxes are awful as well

Fantastic experience: Staff here are always pleasant, gym and pool is a decent size and the views are spectacular. Cannot speak for the golf as I’m not a golfer. And it’s cheaper than the David Lloyd on Wall Island!

Negative experience: We Got there and they had to pick the ball up manually, we were told by staff that it will take a while and we should go and come back, when we get back at around 40/50 mins later we were turned away by the same staff member that told us to go in the first place as there was no balls left. Total mess about and the staff member was rather rude, very disappointed as I’m here almost every week. And ruined what would have been a lovely evening as it usually does.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic club. Lovely pool, facilities and staff. An amazing crèche that is wonderful with sen children. Beautiful grounds and a fun driving range. We love our membership here.

Positive experience: Interesting back nine, front nine under repair which was a shame. The tee boxes were pretty poor and greens average. Wouldn’t rush back to play the course. However, the staff were very welcoming and the facilities seemed great.

Positive experience: Course excelent Poor meal after match £17 for bangers mash not good value

Fantastic experience: A variety of classes with motivated instructors. Very skilled and helpful PT staff in the gym. The Club has fine facilities and staff and is immaculately clean and well-maintained. Lots of social events and activities.... value for money!

Positive experience: The course was in decent condition. The place is a bit Corporate with a poor selection of beers which were quite expensive. We were advised to not play the bunkers on the first nine as they were in poor condition. A bit bizarre really as they looked fine!

Positive experience: A sister club to the Warwickshire Golf club and is set in beautiful rolling countryside with great amenities, including jacuzzi, steam and sauna.

Negative experience: So I’ve held out of this review for quite some time but it seams the club & owners are oblivious to how poor the golf course conditions really are. No chance any manager or senior member of staff is walking the course with a greenkeeper and asking questions daily or even weekly. The greens are in worse condition than my local municipal course which is £32 p/month including pool & gym. The tee boxes are both bare and subsided so before you even get to your ball to the fairway (hard to tell the difference between fairway & rough) your problems start. Just feet off the greens your greeted with bare dirt patches and clumps of grass if your lucky, Clubhouse reception is where expect to be greeted and not stand waiting while staff finish on their mobile device or just chatting amongst themselves. Having spent many years working in golf and managing staff this is a clear case off “cannot be bothered” The resort has the potential to clean up in its location but truth is it’s a very poorly managed facility I will be emailing my resignation from member as it’s not fit for purpose or value for money

Negative experience: par 3 course. greens had duvet marks. the rough was nearly 2 ft high. absolute joke especially for beginners like my son we lost so many balls. unfortunately we won’t be returning. I have never known rough to be so tall. cost me all my balls. some tee boxes were a complete mess. this course is not looked after and for the price it’s a rip off.

Fantastic experience: Played yesterday and despite all the rain the course was open and on the greens. Course in good condition and getting better every year as it matures. Great value using the County Card. Lovely bar and clubhouse for a snack and a drink after golf ⛳

Fantastic experience: Good

Fantastic experience: Fabulous friendly place. We use the gym and swimming and think the facilities are great the only thing is we wish the jacuzzi could be warmer. My son goes to the creche he is totally blind and enjoys going there and playing.

Fantastic experience: H was fantastic, supportive and always checks if everything is okay, definitely recommend him, Top man

Fantastic experience: it is amazing down on the driving range, especially H and his wife Jo on a Monday afternoon/evening, love it down there great quality

Negative experience: Words fail me!!! We attended the fireworks display last night and having been to previous displays we were very much looking forward to it. The issue this year being that the fireworks were placed behind a tree! As such the only view of the display was through a mature tree!! I cannot believe that this was not considered as part of the planning for the event, unbelievable. We shall not return to future events.

Negative experience: Thought me and 2 friends would try the strike shack out on a Friday evening. We usually use the belfry, but decided to make a change due to their top tracer being down. We arrived at 7pm (closes at 9pm. Bare in mind I travelled 40 minutes to get to the ‘Lichfield golf & Country Club’. Only to be told as we walked (which seemed forever) down to the entrance that there are no more golf balls…..at 7pm…..yes correct, no more golf balls on the driving range…would not recommend to anyone. There is a reason why I use the belfry & tonight summed it up. Their top tracer may of been down but atleast they have the most key part of a driving range, GOLF BALLS.

Positive experience: Good and enjoyable only played the par 3 spires course , but for £10 what's there not to like

Negative experience: This evening, we called in at the impressive Lichfield Golf &Country Club because they had advertised a special pizza offer in the restaurant. Matt who was behind the bar seemed not to realise how disappointed we were that although the offer was still on until the end of the month, this evening they had run out of cheese pizzas. Not very empathic there Matt, maybe the offer of a bottle of wine for the 4 of us would have been an appropriate response. I do hope we can take advantage of this offer but it looks like work commitments will get in the way. Just to say the facilities and the staff at LG&CC are brilliant.

Negative experience: Course currently under extensive bunker remodelling, and not a great experience. Three temporary greens (10-12), and the entire back nine under refurbishment. I recomend not playing the back 9 for a while. Asked the receptionist how long the work was to last, and she hadn't got a clue. I feel sorry for the members! Hopefully will be a nice course again, when the works all finished.

Fantastic experience: Super new driving range

Fantastic experience: Played the par 3 course great game well looked after

Positive experience: Its a good course that's worth playing but I'm shocked at how much the prices have risen. Weekday 3 ball is £110 in the morning, £69 after 2pm and £96 after 4pm. For some reason its cheaper to play on a Saturday than it is on a Wednesday night.

Positive experience: Overpriced twlight hours golfing. Cost £35 for a midweek round teeing off after 4. One of the only courses I've ever been to that costs more to play later in the day than early. If I'd teed off at 3:58 it would have been £25. To add to this the last 2 times I've played there the course has been undergoing maintenance. The more recent visit, most of the back was undergoing significant renovation works. This wasn't communicated to me as a visitor until i was teeing off. All in all poor show. Ps. Bar is always closed by the time we're on our way in about 8:45/9pm. Will struggle to convince myself it is worth a revisit anytime soon. Shame as I used to love this course.

Negative experience: Not good. Sauna still not repaired after 4/5 weeks. There was some sort of golf event on and the lounge was full, yet there was only one member of staff preparing drinks, consequently we had to wait a considerable time to be served. In past, always enjoyed the smoothies at £2.95 before membership discount, yesterday these lovely smoothies had been replaced with another type and the two we had were tasteless and cost considerably more. Not good

Negative experience: October 2021 we booked a society day for late April 2022. Nothing was mentioned at the time of booking about planned maintenance that would be taking place. About 10 days prior to booking we were contacted to say there would be 1 temp hole in play, then day before we were due to play we were told there would be 2 temp holes in play and 1 hole would be closed entirely. We were informed of this so late that we couldnt rearrange our day, which was probably the reason we were told so late. These issues aside the greens were a joke. By far the worst greens we've ever played on, and we include pitch and putt courses in that statement. Apparently they have spent £600k on the driving range, shame they hadnt spent anything on the greens.

Fantastic experience: Attended the driving range with cub and beaver Scouts. Staff were fantastic and the kids had a great time. They loved the interactive screen which told them how far they were hitting the ball and the different games they could play.

Negative experience: Absolutely shocking! £17 for the par 3 and you can only go round once. Let me say that again, that’s £17 for 9 small holes. On the receipt it didn’t specify you can only go round once and you’d assume for £17 that you would be paying for a day pass. The greens are pathetic, more sand on the greens than Blackpool beach. The old man in the caddy needs to take a customer service lessons from the lovely ladies behind reception. For someone who’s just trying to get back into golf, I’ll defiantly be going to darnford moors. What a joke of a golf and country club! I’ve only given 1 star because I can’t give 0. I will not be returning and advising people I know to NOT go to Lichfield golf and country club.

Negative experience: Emailed golf club 2 days ago with following comments - zilch response! Hi. Just wanted to pass on some feedback regarding our recent experience when playing golf as a 4-ball yesterday at 14.16. Whilst aware of the current temporary greens towards the end of the course, they were, in fact, just holes in the fairway, rather than temporary greens. Our party also felt most of the greens were actually in a very average condition. It was also slightly disappointing that the ONLY welcome/conversation we received from the starter was for 2 of us to be asked to tuck our shirts in - NOTHING ELSE AT ALL SAID - not really the most welcoming experience we've ever encountered. The round wasn't worth £28.50 each, given condition of course. Also, a couple of days before, we tried to change our 4 ball to 5 people, but you appear to have an inflexible pricing policy, which would have resulted in all of us paying more. On the plus side, the driving range was very good. I was in a party of 16 who played/dined at your course in October last year, and the experience then was brilliant, and much more friendly, despite quite poor weather conditions on the day. It's a shame to leave a golf course with this impression, and we decided to drink and eat elsewhere after the round. I hope these comments are useful. 26/4 - still not heard anything from LGC.

Negative experience: As a long standing member and talking to other long standing members, the current state of The Club Company's technology is really not helping with members physical or mental wellbeing. 100% support sanctions for members not cancelling 3 classes in a 7 day window. But failings in Club Company technology are resulting in unreasonable bans for long standing members after a single incident. 7 day bans in force for more than two weeks. Bans when member on site the whole time because more than 2 hours between booked classes. Bans for failing to cancel classes, which are not shown on Club Company App. Members being publicly shamed by being thrown out of classes they thought they had booked on. Absolutely not acceptable. I also suspect that staff at Lichfield are getting underserved hassle. Corporate need to sort this out. They also need to be aware membership is triple the cost of another facility relatively local with better facilities but only virtual classes. So if problems booking live classes continues the alternative is looking much more attractive.

Positive experience: Friendly staff food is good, nice swimming pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. Golf wise, fairly flat course but not an easy round of golf, quite pretty with just enough water hazards.

Fantastic experience: Very good

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff. Great facilities.

Positive experience: A tad expensive on the golf side, but a nice venue glad the driving range is finally being redone

Negative experience: They temperature is often down in the spa area meaning to cold to swim and have showers etc etc. Never a rebate given for the facilities we can’t use. Although that’s not what I want - just manage your gas bill! Sunday’s my only day off and again can’t use the facilities I want. Maybe they should pay the gas bill?? Im going to look at the other club near Wall in Lichfield. A slightly longer drive but at least the gas is never off.

Fantastic experience: Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, good amenities and relaxing bar area. They also have a gym and a golf course

Fantastic experience: Nice club. Very friendly. Lovely bar. Fantastic gym with very good staff. The classes are all brilliant.

Fantastic experience: Excellent country club. Primarily golf which I don't use. Lovely pool with sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. Well equipped gym. Lots of classes. Crèche for kids as well as kids classes and float time. Bar/cafe serves reasonably priced good quality food. Lovely terrace overlooking the golf course with lakes and fountains.

Fantastic experience: I'm a club company member and have played Lichfield a few times as apart of the membership. Its a really lovely course - really well tended to - The greens are excellent! Its often busy however, I've never encountered any terrible slow play! Its quite a vibrant little place with the gym being well subscribed (I think it is anyways, you wouldn't catch me in there these days!) There's a trendy little par 3 course en site also which looks mega fun - I really enjoy playing this course!

Fantastic experience: Lichfield Golf and Country Club also known as Seedy Mill is the ideal course for an average golfer, one has several options a quick round at the challenging short course, which is lined with trees and calls for good shots over water. Or the 18 hole course which has wide fairways, plenty of well positioned bunkers and receptive greens. I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge and quickly learnt the flags on the greens are colour coded as to their position on the green. Along the fairways there are 150 yard markers and plates for 100 and 200 yard distances. Alternatively there is a driving range which has floodlights, many bays and targets to aim at. The car park is vast, the club house has a well equipped gym, excellent catering, a spaceous lounge and a pleasant veranda overlooking the 18th green. Societies are welcomed and well looked after; In summary the Litchfield Golf and Country Club is highly recommened, enjoy your golf and play well.

Positive experience: Need some directions where to go to next tee, but other way great place

Negative experience: A decent course but the pricing has become extortionate for non-members. Green fees have skyrocketed over the past 12-18 months, as the owners are clearly trying to 'cash in' on the pandemic golfing boom. Prefer supporting other courses now who have been more fair to visitors and resisted greed. Remember paying £15-16 for the course on twilight literally 3 years ago, they now charge £90 at certain times. Absolute madness.

Fantastic experience: Great golf club, enjoy it when I come here.

Negative experience: Went to this country club last year for the fireworks and we had a great time. The fireworks were brilliant and it was overall organised. However this year was ridiculous. No one working there knew where to point us to park. Loads of people were getting stuck in the mud and needed pushing. Luckily we had a space on the car park at the top. Food was watery and Luke warm. Didn’t even get checked for tickets so anyone could of walked in there. Instead of trying to sell as many tickets as possibly they need to think of how many people they can actually fit into their business. The poor swans were frightened of the fireworks as they went off. I think it was sad they weren’t thought about as they live on the land. Won’t be going next year, I’ll pay someone else for a better experience.

Fantastic experience: Had an excellent time at the Bonfire / fireworks display today. Fantastic setup. Have to be honest, the food was slightly poor, cheap burgers etc, but overall a good atmosphere and a great show. Can't fault the country club for that. Venue itself looks beautiful too, with nice water and scenic views. Lush.

Positive experience: I have played at both courses here. The Mill Course was fantastic to play, well kept and a great layout. The Spires (9 hole short course) has a great layout as well and perfect size for my nephew (8 years old) it is challenging, good distance as he is able to hit the greens so focuses his aim or he will be chipping on ready for a putt so again great practice. Main issue with the short course is the grass is too long on the fairways it does not represent a true shot as if he was on a full size course - a shorter cut would improve this course massively, also the greens had a lot of debris from the trees but otherwise the condition of the green was good, you did need to clear your path in

Fantastic experience: Thank you to Emma and her team for making my 70th birthday celebrations go without a hitch great food and service thank you Emma for making all the arrangements you are very professional and friendly

Positive experience: Very forgiving course for wayward drives. I missed a few fairways and always found myself with a shot to the green every time. Course condition was generally good, however, the fairways were a bit long and the greens a bit wooly and slow. Overall, a pleasant round of golf. Areas that need immediate attention would be: - More sand needed in the bunkers. - More assistance with yardage. Only having a stake representing 150yds to the green is not helpful. No stones in line with the stakes in the fairway, also no 100yd or 200yd markers.

Negative experience: Overpriced. No supervision of children in pool. Unable to get a place on the Aqua classes. Complete waste of monthly membership! Hence the fact I have cancelled my membership.

Negative experience: If you are looking for a quiet tranquil spa with fantastic staff and good food..... don’t join this club! Up on joining we were promised the above and got far from it! It’s more like a crèche/after school kids club, in the spa and pool area, not peaceful in the slightest! The only peaceful times apparently are when the kids are still at school, no good if you are an off peak member! The food in the lounge is poor quality, the kitchen staff got my orders wrong on 3 different occasions so we never bothered to eat again, now limiting us to the gym only as a safe zone! We were told classes are never busy and easy to book on to?? Well in a year mum never got in to the aqua class despite being on a wait list! And certain spin classes are near impossible to get in to as well? The carpark is always extremely busy making it hard to park! In fact the only good thing about our unfortunate year in contract is the beverage staff were fantastic and very friendly and a couple of the boys in the gym! And when you can get into the class... the spin instructors are great too! Other areas are not very welcoming and I never got a warm friendly feeling when entering or leaving the club! One star is pushing it!

Fantastic experience: Play golf here.

Fantastic experience: Had a great time at the Lichfield Golf & Country Club, on our vacation to Lichfield, with my husband Carlos Wright and his brother, Wally Wright, who is a member. The first golf game they got to play together in 23 years! Beautiful golf course and clubhouse! The game of a lifetime, and such great staff made us feel welcome! Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: I didn't play golf

Fantastic experience: Great venue all round.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic golf course greens were in great condition also the course was really well maintained would highly recommend a visit

Positive experience: £73 per month for membership...overpriced

Positive experience: we went here for a wedding, it is a lovely place and the staff were very friendly and professional, emma was an allround star, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, the only reason i hold a star back is because of the upstairs smoking area outside,

Fantastic experience: There most weeks

Fantastic experience: Great venue

Positive experience: Great creche and facilities. Parent and child car park not big enough for demand and normal spaces too small for normal sized cars.

Negative experience: expensive

Fantastic experience: A very nice golf course and friendly members. This is a lovely course to play. The staff are very good too., Well worth a visit.

Positive experience: Nice atmosphere, good amenities

Fantastic experience: Went here for Bonfire night, lovely place and really enjoyed it. The display was amazing and would definitely visit again.

Fantastic experience: I go to the gym there but they have a very scenic golf course.Staff very friendly & helpful.They also serve food & have a Costa Coffee.

Negative experience: Have never been treated with such little respect by a company. Appalled by management’s attitude to members complaints. “We have 3500 members who are perfectly happy” poor customer service. Member retention is non existent.

Positive experience: Not a bad course. Staff are great

Positive experience: Good for dancing

Fantastic experience: Excellent service

Negative experience: Purely reviewing this based on CHRISTMAS PARTY Package: If your looking for a Christmas party with zero atmosphere and with the worst dj in the history of the world then by all means this place is right up your street. If however you want your Christmas party to be something of a celebration that everyone can enjoy then avoid this place at all costs!

Positive experience: Formally know as Seedymill golf club, an enjoyable cause. Interesting variety of holes with a combination water, layup par 5s and dog legs both left and right. We were well received by the staff and looked after.

Positive experience: Good course in reasonable condition, but poor bunkers full of stones and untidy waterways, allowed to get overgrown with weeds. Very few smiles from reception and bar area, with a few exceptions. Locker room much too small for society's.

Positive experience: Fantastic place. Beautifully situated with great facilities, although if something does go wrong, it seems to take an age to repair. Unfortunately, the menu and quality of food is blocking a great opportunity to cash in on Sunday lunch, evening meals, people having lunch etc. Most of the staff are pleasant but some could do with cheering up, and some perhaps made to realise they are in the Leisure industry and, perhaps, that customers are important, should be greeted with a smile, and when they're asked for something, or to do something, it shouldn't be too much trouble. Other than that yes nice place.

Positive experience: One of the few courses open during winter, they never use temporary greens or tees

Positive experience: Very playable underated course, bunkers need work majority of staff and members are freindly, good health club facilities and food just a fraction overpriced but what golf club isn't.

Fantastic experience: Fabulous friendly fitness and golf club!

Fantastic experience: Lovely golf course, with a nice par 3 and decent gym. Very friendly staff. I always enjoy playing here.

Positive experience: Well matured and teasing course.

Positive experience: Great gym and swimming facilities. Classes get too booked up. Crèche is fab, staff are great but again gets too booked up, bit mad that if you haven't called a week before at 630am you may not get a space. Child's swimming lessons are fantastic, especially Matt's. It's pricey but that's OK if you can get the crèche and class spaces

Positive experience: Nice

Fantastic experience: Great gym in a lovely setting! Regular well attended classes during the day and a great pool

Positive experience: Lovely course, lovely staff, great day out!

Positive experience: Nice quality golf for a reasonable price.

Fantastic experience: Quality course with beautiful food.

Fantastic experience: Brill course, very challenging for all handicaps. Very wet, I suggest the course should be carry only until end of March.

Positive experience: Good course, staff not so good

Fantastic experience: Beauty place with fantastic facilities

Fantastic experience: Great course and club. Challenging golf and great staff.
