PROPER HIDDEN GEM

can I just say the one star for pace of play was because it took me 25 min to get to the 3rd tee behind the slowest fourball Ive ever followed, skip to 5th and came back later to do 3 and 4. The course is in excellent condition with some really quirky hole love 13 to 16 sections, and heard the greens weren't in good shape but thought they ran smooth and true. Although clubhouse is under referb staff were excellent and showed me were the longer walks to tees where so thank you but was well signposted anyway. A must play I will definitely be back very shortly think I've found my NEW FAVOIURITE COURSE.

Greens Need Improving

Whilst the course was itself in great condition and the views fabulous, the greens were very disappointing. The balls would not roll true due to the greens being so bobbly. Many interesting holes, and I would benefit second time around, with improved knowledge of the layout of certain holes.

Friendly welcome

The course was in good condition despite the recent heavy rains. Greens had been treated and it was tricky to gauge pace but the overall condition was good and they'll improve. There are a few tricky dog legs where it is difficult to judge what club to take as a first time player of the course, you can quickly run out of fairway. Course is hilly so a bit of a physical challenge for the older player but still enjoyable.

Staff and players were very friendly, we had a really warm welcome. We had a lovely roast beef sandwich after the round.

There's a lot of work going on to improve the clubhouse and facilities, it'll be great when it's finished. Will definitely go back 👍

Great course for the money

I’ve Walmersley a number of times and always enjoy the layout. They’ve got some really great holes with some awesome views over Manchester, undulating fairways, elevations that challenge strategy as well as the skill. Some of the greens were very sandy though, I assume as it’s only spring. I gave staff a 3 star because it was late, and I was pretty much the only person on the course so couldn’t find anyone to check in. They’re also having some renovation work done so the pro shop is currently closed.

But all in all I always enjoy playing this course so would definitely recommend it.

Disappointed

Course was in very good condition for the time of year, problem started when we arrived and was told that 3 holes were closed. We played and enjoyed the course, very good condition considering the weather over the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately the clubhouse was having extensive refurbishment carried out so refreshments were in short supply with no electricity for the coffee facilities. No mention of any course closures or clubhouse refurbishment in any of the booking documents we received. Disappointed really.

Great course, great service.

The course is in great condition. The layout is both interesting and challenging in parts, with some holes giving you the ability to take a risk - others make you think how to get round without dropping shots. The staff are fantastic and very helpful.
