Really impressed. Early tee time helped to beat the slow play but the course was in great condition. The weather was awful so the four of us would like to come back during summer.

Great condition

Played 12/09/21 and can recommend the course as it was in great condition. Greens are all in good condition and where consistent. Fairways were all trim and well maintained along with the tee boxes.

Loads of different holes - my personal favourite was a right angle par 5!

Not a flat course with plenty of undulating so anyone who struggles usually on hilly courses would probably want to consider an electric trolley but for me it just adds to the enjoyment.

We were able to get a pint afterwards but no pro in the pro shop on arrival but cards were available near the clubhouse.

Played here a few times and would say currently it's in the best condition.

Back 9 holes so close its dangerous

I contacted the club Pro on the Saturday as the weather had been horrendous for days he informed me that the course is always open as it's moorland but you have to use matts off the fairway directors orders or take your shot from the rough. The forecast was better for the Sunday so we decided to make the 45min journey across from Liverpool. On arrival I booked into the pro shop and the same guy told me again about playing off matts on the fairway but this time we had to buy the matts but there was no mention of that when I called him. I queried this and his response was management policy I was appalled to say the least having to buy matts due to there issue.

Anyway got out the course and it was in good nick for the time of year and the layout was really nice it was a pain having to move your ball into the rough every time. The only issue was coming to the 7th the play got really slow having to wait for a 2 ball which seemed odd. Got to the 9th and it had taken just over 2hrs to play 8 which is a little slow, it then took us 2 1/2 hours to play 10-15 and the reason was the holes were dangerously close together from the 10th green until the 15th tee, so much so that the 11th and 12th green where yards away from the tee boxes for the next hole. The tee box for the 15th hole u actually hit over the 14th green with your drive. We decided 2 call it a day when we got to the 16th tee and there was two groups waiting on the tee which was a shame that the back 9 was so slow or it probably would have been an enjoyable round.

Course Great, more than can be said about the staff.

Booked online for 2 golfers sunday morning 9.40 tee time. we, arrived at the club and was told that we are now in a 4 ball, I said to the man in the pro shop that we had booked for 2 as we are from the same house and due to the covid 19 just wanted a game with us 2 and not some randoms who we dont know, his reply was "well your playing golf and not going to be hugging them are you?" I then asked do you have a toilet and he said yes but they are locked, which was really helpfull.

Are tee off time was 9.40 he then came out of the pro shop at 9.30 and said just the 2 of us could tee of if we wanted too and i thanked him and asked for a score card and he said we dont have any, we have run out, i shook my head and his reply was "Ive let you go out early what more do you want? ive let you go out early and all you have done is complain keep your score in your head or write it down on a bit of paper" this is NOT what I want to hear as a visitor to a golf club a score card would of been nice, (he did manage to find me one) other than the Idiot in the pro shop course was good and and well maintained and pace of play was ok held up on two holes but corse was busy and this was to be expected. over all good course, nice greens, just a shame about the welcome.

I would return and Play again but hope the nasty man is not in the pro shop again, this is no way to speak to visitors to the club.
