Marriott Hollins Hall Country Club

Really good course, beautifully laid out and well kept. Couple of really challenging holes and some real scenic tee boxes. If you don't have a buggy, it's a huge steep hill to get up to the 1st tee box, they should probably warn people about that. The halfway house was closed which was disappointing even though course was busy. No one to monitor the pace of play which was frustrating as there was a 3 ball in front of us that really slowed us down, took about 5 hours to play all 18 and we had to wait on every single tee box whilst the group in front spent 10 minutes at a time to find their ball and get in and out of their buggy every time they topped it 10 yards forward (after sizing the shot up with a range finder).

Overall a good course and would play again but little touches around the service could make it top tier.

Excellent condition and a bargain for £20 payed a lot more for courses that are no where near as good

This is a sneakily tough course with a lot of fairway bunkers and a few longer holes which aren't easy to tame. Greens in good condition and worth the fee. If you don't like hills and length then get a buggy here. Pace of play was slow because we had to let about 6-7 single people through, many of whom were in a buggy themselves. Nice driving range (quite a long walk to it) and practice green.

It was a nice October sunny day- a 4 ball with my relatives, they travelled from Haslingden & I from Doncaster.

Polite and professional reception staff, explaining about the course and facilities- putting green behind 1st tee and practice nets. Just a 1 in 4 hill climb away!- give yourself 5 m to breathe again calmly and also bring heart rate back.

Tee boxes were in good condition throughout, as were the fairways- all looked after and cut accordingly. Similarly the fairways were in good condition and very solid/dry. They all played very well.

Greens were challenging and in very good condition- was apprehensive upon reading previous reviews but no issues whatsoever.

Lots of the holes were varied and offered many challenges- whether the approach was uphill, downhill or the usual across. There are many doglegs- again quite challenging in their own right.

Moving from 13-14 could do with better path & signage but otherwise it was all good.

It was a busy Saturday morning- we were being pushed with nowhere to go in front= by a couple. Whom kindly placed their green ball on 2 of the greens we were putting- no fore shout, no apology or similar. Absolute t-ats!

We had a drink from the bar and sat outside in the sun- some good facilities there!

Let’s get the positives out of the way first.

It’s clear since a previous visit that there has been improvements and the course itself getting itself back to where it once was, still not to the level of 7/8 years ago but there are signs of it. Can’t remember the greens being a tricky as they were with some tough pin positions.

Now on to the not so small elephant in the room, which is mentioned in other reviews the pace of play……. Is horrific.

We booked, simply because there was no other bookings for a good hour maybe an hour and 20 mins before ours, some how we managed to catch up all other group by hole 8. How is this even possible they should be at least 90 mins ahead??? Look if I was playing like tiger in his prime then fair enough, but the fact is I wasn’t.

The last 9 holes took 3 hours!!!!! Please correct me if I am wrong but am I being unreasonable or is this pace acceptable. If this is the norm I’ll be taking a pack lunch and my tea with me every round.

Players hitting 4 tee shots, cause he hit one good one into water, looking for the other three which well had ended up in Baildon. Don’t even get me started on the other iam sure they were all speaking through mega phones.

Walking slower than a sloth between shots, look iam not expecting to run round, but if the same effort was taken moving, around the bar to get a beer which I can tell you usian bolt would have been proud off iam sure we would all get round in a timely manner

Shame really won’t be coming back.

Used to be a member here, 15 years ago when it was a Marriott course. Was one of the best local courses and a good challenge.

I've played a few times in the last couple of years and the course needs a bit of TLC. Greens are still ok but bunkers and surrounds need work.

It's good value to play but a few upgrades could bring it back to what it once was

Maybe bad timing but all 3 of us playing were disappointed. The main issue was the greens they had been dressed with large holes in them and lots of sand, putting was a waste kf time tbh.

Wont be rushing bavk anytime soon which is a shame as we are local.

The course was in good condition even after the weather we have had. It was quite challenging at times and was a good change to our other local courses. The only thing that let it down was all the greens were unputterable. All the greens were covered in holes and sand, the ball just didn't roll true so we just decided not to put. A shame really on what was a decent round.

Having played here a few months ago and been so disappointed with the course condition I must say much better this time!!! Enjoyed playing the course again and the price is about right now at £20 and good to see more people using it so maybe if they want it to keep busy keep the price!!! Will definitely be back if they keep it at yhat price as worth every penny

Bunkers and course felt well kept was a nice change from previous years I’d been

This course in summer used to be fantastic absolute belter of a course to play. Unfortunately they seem to have let it go mid June and greens are spiked and still full of sand!!!! The course is a great layout the holes are great but the greens are a disgrace and they have put it up to £30 a round got it today at £25 and still bit deflated it cost that for the condition of it could have gone up the road to baildon for less and that course and greens are in fantastic condition!!! Need to get ot sorted or get the price dropped its a £15-£20 course at most such a shame

Great all round. Staff amazing really welcoming and helpful a star course great will definitely be back also got stuck in traffic due to lights been down and instead of some moody staff they we very helpful and accommodating and booked me for a later time which I wasn’t expecting I wish I had staff who were so invested thank you

I have played here several times in the past and have always been happy. The price typically reflected the quality of the course, in fact it always felt like great value. This time however the course was not in great condition. Fairways were not cut and were longer than a long second cut. The bunkers were full of weeds and rock hard. The greens were actually ok. The rough on this course is always on the harsh side but any errant shots are severely punished as the rough is basically impenetrable weeds and brambles on large parts of the course. I played another local course the week before and payed the same amount and the course was in much better condition and far more playable.

It feels like Hollins Hall needs some real money spending on it and maybe then it wouldn’t be half empty on a glorious sunny day.

Played this course many times and the course itself is great. Some parts were still very soft due to all the rain. Tee boxes needed some TLC, but the main issue was the pace of play. I was a sole player, nobody was able to let you play through as it was so backed up or overbooked. No marshals going round either. They need to either make the gap between tee times bigger or marshal the course. 4 hours for a sole round is ridiculous.

Nice course, it was a steep walk up to the first hole and only 15 holes were playable due to the weather.

Was a nice course to play, it was a little bit wet, boggy and muddy. The grass was a little long but I imagine it would be hard to cut if its that boggy. I will play again when it gets a bit warmer.

Good value for money at £20 for 18 holes. Considering the amount of rain we have had the greens were still fast. Some boggy areas on the fairways but that was to be expected.

Fairways worst I’ve ever seen! Long grass everywhere and silly amounts of mud, greens was awful & had the slowest group in front of us who was smoking weed. Course not looked after at all
