Two ambulance crews, a rapid response vehicle and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Cosford attended Herefordshire Golf Club, near Leominster, on Saturday after the man was taken ill on the 10th hole.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: "There was a defibrillator in the clubhouse which someone went to get and club members performed CPR while ambulance crews were en-route.
"When crews arrived, they continued attempts to try to resuscitate him but despite all those efforts, he was confirmed dead at the scene. Although on this occasion the man couldn't be saved, members should be commended for giving CPR and for having a defibrillator on site."
