Blackpool Park Golf Club - Stanley Park Course

Despite a few areas where drainage works are ongoing the course represented value for money. Will go back. I have played it a few times over the years . Enjoyed it

Probably the worst greens I’ve ever putted on.

Overgrown, full of pitch marks, just terrible.

Litter everywhere, don’t be a scumbag, use the bins if you play here.

Course condition nowhere near the standard it used to be

Sadly some of the tee's and greens are in dire need of improvement. I injured myself on another course a few years ago on one of the tees. I was very wary teeing off on some them here. Even with golf spikes on I was slipping. Some greens we very poor with a couple having huge holes right next to the cup. Not one bunker had a rake in them. ( I found a bin full at the clubhouse? 70% of the course was ok its just the 30% that let the round down apart from my playing of course.

We played on a warm day in August, the pace of play was good for 6 holes until we caught up the group in front, a fourball playing in a comp, slow going after that. The course was in good condition, the greens were a little slow and the tees were a little rough. There were no yardage markers, but for £15 good value for money

Tee’d off at 1700hrs the course was still very playable and the greens were very different keeping me on my toes.

I was a little disappointed that the club house was closed when we finished at 2045hrs. But all in all a really good course and very reasonably priced.

Good,well maintained course,greens are a bit slow.Only downside is that the drainage is very bad in certain areas.

Unfortunately, due to the weather of late the ground was not very well drained and VERY boggy. “Fairways” were nearly 4 inch high grass, genuinely like playing in deep rough all day. Greens were okay however players not repairing pitch marks in every single one in play. Bunkers don’t have rakes and a few holes under construction directly in lay up areas so it makes the holes play more aggressive lines.

Overall, not the best course conditions at this time, however if the course was maintained better it could be a remotely cheap playable course. Tee Boxes are not ideal with it just being undulating swampy boxes.

Picture is of hole 10 which was the only hole on the course with a nice condition.

Enjoyed this course. Lots of variety up and down hill. Great walk and super value. I'll be back.

Slow is not the word.

I play reasonably quickly, let’s face it, I’m not that great and it’s not the Open so I don’t need to spend 5 mins deciding each club, (only to duff it 25 yards) and spend another 5 mins reading each putt, and neither do you!!!

Caught up the 2 ball after 2 holes (not their fault) they let me through after the 5th while looking for a ball.

Caught up the next 2 ball on the tee for the 7th, again let me through. Caught up to the next 2 ball by the 9th.

Got to the 10th (par 3) and there was a literal queue.

1 x 3 ball on the green and 2 x 2 ball waiting.

I waited 15-20 mins to play the hole, looked at the 11th tee and saw the first of the 2 balls hadn’t tee’d off yet so went home. Funny thing is, I usually play Staining but stopped due to slow play. 7-8 mins between tee times when there are 3-4 balls who aren’t very good isn’t right. It cannot be that hard to block a tee time if there are 2 x 3-4balls heading out after each other.

Ok, so there has been a LOT of rain recently and not the courses fault it was waterlogged but holes 3-9 were in terrible condition. Overall a nice course but litter everywhere, don’t understand why dirty scumbags cannot put their rubbish in a bin or in their bag.

Not many bins on course, no obvious distance markers and no ball cleaners that I could see. Wouldn’t play on a Friday or after rain again.

Even after all the rain the course was in great condition. Look forward to returning.

I play this course regularly, booked through Golfnow,as it's a lovely course and we really enjoy playing here. Unfortunately on this occasion it was ruined by our early morning tee time at 6.48 am having 8 players booked at the same time. This caused slow play most of the round. It's the first time I've been disappointed playing here.

the course is a pleasure to play especially with the great weather lots of sun & got to say the condition the course is in is a credit to the green keepers & staff

Course was in fair condition but greens were quite slow. Booking was easy and reception at the course was very good. Course wasn’t busy so went round in good time.
