Great course, poor council

Green staff working as hard as they can to get the course to a decent condition without help from local council. Such great potential if it got given to someone who cared.

Such A Pleasure -Tony D

For so early in the season the entire course was in nice order.

The greens putted well and smoothly so.

Our Friendly Golf Society all remarked how very playable the entire course was from start to finish.

There are some areas requiring attention here and there.

However at just £16 for midweek (plus concessions) this course really has come on leaps and bounds from the sorry state it was subjected to only a few years back.

At this rate of improvement its popularity will return and justifiably so.

Congratulations to the entire staff crew for their dedicated efforts.

Our Society will happily return before long.

I’d like a refund off golf now

Paid online with no indication that the course was only half open. And had to do the front 9 holes twice. I was not happy about this so only went round once. I do not like playing same holes twice. If I knew the course would’ve been like this. Which I should have received such information. Then I wouldn’t have booked it. NOT HAPPY

Atrocious condition. Don't waste your money.

Played this course for the first time today and it will definitely be the last time.

Like playing in a bog, greens were horrendous and the fairways, what can I say, they were literally like playing on a school field. No difference between the fairway and the rough. Tee boxes were ridiculous and just like a mud pit. No directions to the next tee (apart from going to 9 which was spray painted on a tree)

Seriously thought about asking for our money back it was that bad. No worst course I've ever played.

Conditions not great due to weather but course looked promising if weather was better

Very wet due to weather past few days but this course has vastly improved from 10 years ago. Very forgiving course ideal for high handicappers and beginners.

Played on a school day and first time I have played the course in a few years. The course is generally easy to play and a nice lay out. Shame there was no butty Van on the 5th anymore.

BP

Average course overall it is very slow play and when i say slow i mean ques at every tee box, there is no dress code and there is people jogging and walking dogs as your playing, hardly any sign posts up to direct you to the holes, greens arent the best. Ok for price but plenty of courses for similar prices in and around Liverpool which i will sticking too in future.
