First time Haigh Hall

Really nice park land course with great views. Tees, fairways and greens in superb condition. Some of the pin positions were really tough. My only critique was the course lacked signage to the next tee. A few times I couldn’t workout where to go next

Very good value for money. A few dodgy greens but for prices of £10 and £17 (depending on when you play) it’s a good knock

Great course

Haigh halll is an excellent course to play when it’s dry. If there have been long periods of rain or damp winter months it gets very muddy and hard work

IIn the spring up until winter the course is as good as any. Well worth a visit and value for money

Great coarse

Well, I had read reviews, and iv not played this course for about 20 years, I knew it closed and then reopened so didn't know what to expect especially after the reviews. well got to say I was so shocked how good the greens and fairways were considering the weather we have had. It's a must-play and definitely be going again
