Hawarden Golf Club

First time here and had a wonderful round.

golf course was in excellent condition for the time of year still on winter tees but all greens are on and they were in excellent condition.

We would highly recommend.

Was challenging and interesting

Lovely mix and change of gradients

Had to stick to the pathways all the way round with trollies

Which made the walk a little longer than expected

Doubt the restrictions will be on for much longer

Definitely return and play again

Although a bit wet in parts but aren’t most courses! It was in good condition. They have a complete buggy/trolley path all the way around the course. They are also doing lots of work around the course. The membership is less than £800 per annum which for the course and its location is great value.

Great course in excellent condition, especially considering the amount of rain we have had this winter. The course held up well and enbled roll on the drives. All greens were in play and (again considering the atrocious weather we have had) were in good nick. This course is a jewel and all credit to the groundstaff who are obviously skilled personnel. I've already booked for my next visit (next week). credit also to the professional and his team for a warm welcome. I am a 73 year old "nomad" player (off 22) and I walked the course. Despite wet ground and some inclines, I enjoyed the walk and the golf! I wholeheartedly recommend this course to any visiting golfers; you will enjoy it. Eddie.

Lovely course, first time me and my father have played it. Both high handicappers and found wide forgiving fairways with a few blind shots.

For the lower handicaps you can generally go for a few "tiger lines" and get those scores down.

Would definitely recommend

Great course, ample parking, friendly staff on arrival.

This is a challenging course with lots of blind tees so you don’t know where you’re shooting until you get over a ridge. Beautiful surroundings, lots of trees, few lakes, draining ditches. All the bunkers had rakes. Nearly all the tee boxes have ball washed. Greens very well kept and run true. As I said in the title this is a hilly course so great to keep you fit. Pathways throughout for buggies. Didn’t go in the clubhouse but looks lovely great big external elevated patio. Air lines to clean of your gear at the end 👍

Played in July during a prolonged dry spell, the course was in very good condition. The few blemishes we encountered on the tees, fairways and greens could all be attributed to the conditions rather than neglect! Even though the Pro Shop was unattended when we checked in, there was signage to indicate why and a plentiful supply of score cards nearby.

The course is a challenging walk with many changes of elevation on almost every hole. Fairway and green marker posts are well positioned as are signs from green to next tee.

The members we encountered were friendly and respectful.

No hesitation in returning!

Friendly staff, great greens, hilly and lots of fun!

The Tee boxes really need some work. Very patchy and uneven

The course was otherwise very good apart from the geese crapping everywhere.

I feel like I got really lucky bagging a last minute round here for just £20 - you could spend multiple times this and still feel lucky. The course is stunning with its undulating hills, tree-lined greens and rural vistas, and very well maintained to boot. The view downhill to the watery 9th and across the valley is particularly stunning. As a course this one is nicely varied, fun to unpick, deceptively tricky and, whilst it does play reasonably favourably on width, will punish short shots and mishits, with ample hazards, bunkers and OBs forcing you to play boldly. I was held up a bit towards the final 3-4 holes as the course bunched up but in fairness I was playing a 1-ball. The fairways were pretty tight and the greens were in particularly good condition, if anything a little too good (for me anyway). Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my round and will definitely be back to beat my score.

course was in fantastic condition greens were so fast and in great condition good layout, there were a couple of holes that were amazing to play especially the 4th and 8th

Wonderful track, will 100% be playing it again.

Nice course with a few tricky holes, would be a great little course if the got looked after, tne greens are pretty slow and loads of pitch marks all over them

Really good condition for the time of year. Quite a few really interesting holes. Layout is a bit confusing if you haven’t played there before but everything is signed if you look for it

Absolutely fantastic all round! Hawarden Golf Course is a real hidden gem — the layout is both enjoyable and challenging, with some truly amazing holes that offer stunning scenery throughout. Every part of the course feels well-maintained and thoughtfully designed. The staff are incredibly welcoming and helpful, creating a great atmosphere from the moment you arrive. Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or just getting into the game, this course is a must-play. Can’t wait to come back!

Some cracking holes on this course which we played for only £25, it would have been great value at twice that. It was a little boggy in bits but only a couple of spots and nowhere that affected play. Fairways, bunkers and greens all in great condition.

Thoroughly enjoyed Hawarden, would return and recommend.

NB don’t hit driver on the first!

This was a great course with really friendly staff and a great club house.

Fabulous layout, which was being well maintained and looked after. Looking forward to returning, hopefully as a member. I've played 20 courses over the last 12 months and this was the most enjoyable. The winter tees were well forward, which was allowing for fabulously looking summer tees, which a lot of money looks to have been spent improving.

The 18th par 3 is spectacular, down hill into a green set in an amphitheatre of surrounding trees.

The 8th is also a whole with great views from the elevated tee, worth well positioned ditches, and a lake short of the green, again, a lot of money looks to have been spent improving the layout and drainage.

This place is a must!
