Half decent

It’s ok for what it is, doesn’t take water very well and for £25 on a twilight isn’t really vfm. Greens were in reasonably good condition but nothing to write home about. Pretty average all round but will probs play again.

Anyone wishing to play a course that feels a bit different than Barlaston is a good test of club section. Not the longest course but nice and relaxed. The course can get busy but that's down to the efforts to improve the course over the past 5 years and the reasonable green fees.

Greens are really good at the minute and run true.

Disappointing late summer knock

The were many negative issues to what is usually a good venue with challenging holes.

The price was expensive and didn’t reflect the quality of the course when we played. The fairways were bare and seemingly still being cut. The greens were bone hard and showed little sign of being looked after / watered.

The worst thing was the seemingly lack of thought with regard to bookings and the sheer quantity of players on the course.

As stated, it’s usually a good place but I will not be returning any time soon, especially if it remains dry.

Great Layout

The course was in really good condition, in particular the greens. The course is challenging without being too difficult. The only downside was the geese and the mess they made on some fairways

Pace of play

Had a 4 ball loose 7 holes to the group in front.

The 4 ball had buggies and we only found out after the round were playing team and individual Stableford.

Took 3 and 1/2 hours to play 13 holes.

Were waiting on every shot

This takes nothing away from a fantastic course with excellent greens.

Fantastic otherwise

Great days golf shame we couldn’t get a drink

Having been a member at Barlaston twenty odd years ago I was astonished by the transformation of the course ,

It always had great potential, but the work that has been done to open up the course over the years is staggering and a huge credit to all those involved in the planning and maintenance of the course (the greens were immaculate)

A real shame that 4 hours in the baking heat at 6 o clock

that the bar staff wouldn’t serve us a much anticipated cold pint is ( closing because it was quiet ) 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

A tough course in great condition

What a lovely golf course.

First time that I have ever played here and I was very impressed.

The course is difficult with some tight fairways and lots of trees! The rough is very rough … bring a few balls.

We met the lady captain on the way round and last years … - very friendly.

We will return if they let us !

Round on the 23rd

Good greens and directions

Well laid hour holes

Difficult mixed with easy

Appeals to broad range of players

Lack of facilities on arrival

0748 tee off

No toilets

No pr shop

No cards

No club official at all

Without a mobile app it would have been difficult.

If I pay £25 per person and tee off after 0730

I would have expected someone to be there

Or at the very least cards in the box on the pro shop wall.
