So the day went well coming out with an overall of 85 my lowest score

The back 9 ... well then good to start off with then after 13 who knows what's going on the course is a mess temp holes 14 15 16 17 18 you don't know where your at with it needs sorting asap

Considering the 3 days of torrential rain we had had previous to our visit, we expected to find it very boggy. However the new drainage has done well and only a small patch between the temporary 18th tee & green were bad the rest were really good.. If you could also take care when coming back past the 13th Green its a bit treacherous with people playing down whilst you have to go round the back of the green as the path is knackered.

The walk between 13 & the temp 14 is horrendous & needs serious attention. Also off course you could do with a compressed air bower for cleaning up before packing your stuff in the car.

The truck between the old & new 18th is under water. The scorecard should also reflect the change but doesn't. We skip the 14th on the card score the 15th to 18th & then score the new 18th as the 14th.

Nice course seemed to be well maintained. When you park up go into the club house before paying as I got told I didn’t have to pay for parking after I had already paid. 1 hole was closed but you could come back to it from a different side if you wanted to. I’d definitely go back to play there really enjoyed the course

Course was in very good condition for a municipal. Greens were smooth and fast. The bunkers are under going improvements it seems. A lot had been dug out or filled in and we actually seen the digger out on course working on them. Course in a lot better condition than when I played last year. Excellent value for money with great views of the hills on one side and Manchester on the other. It is a physical test though, so be prepared to walk up and down a lot of hills. Also has a temporary layout due to an issue with a bridge. Is it a tour level course? No. But it seems to be improving and offers tremendous value.

Excellent course enjoy playing here can't understand people pulling it down its not and will never be a pga tour course but its an honest course and always open great layout and the course can't be blamed for slow players in front of them I go early and never have a problem one of my favourite courses

My dad and me played this course some 20 odd years ago and as we were in the area thought we'd play again for old times sake. Unfortunately we were far from impressed. Don't get me wrong there are some very picturesque and challenging holes, if only you could find any grass on the tee boxes to actually tee off from. Then the pace of play was absolutely ridiculous, we were stuck behind a couple of four balls who didn't even consider allowing us to play through even though they spent the majority of their rounds looking for each other's balls in the trees! The greens in fairness were ok, although there was quite a bit of debris on a few of them. The bunkers are there but youll be lucky to find any sand in them, there are rakes in there but i think they might be for the hundreds of weeds that are residing in them! Maybe they took all the sand out to fill the new beach feature they have for the kids in the park? There was a whole hole missing that none of the reception staff thought to mention to us, we spent about 10 minutes looking for the 15th hole which when the group behind us caught us up and told us there wasn't currently a 15th at least it gave the slow four ball ahead of us chance to get a hole ahead of us for the 1st time. There was far more negatives than positives and if I could actually be bothered to list them all I'd probably be here all night. Honestly, if your in the area and fancying a round, try one of the many other courses within a 4 or 5 mile radius instead.

Played here a couple of times last year and I was really impressed with how well the course was kept, was quite disappointed this time. Tea boxes were a mess, bunkers were non-existent should’ve been GUR but we’re not, was like hitting off gravel path and greens were covered in weeds, holes not cut straight

Such a shame as the course itself layout wise has some really great holes,it just hasn’t been maintained properly at all this year. Shame as last year it was in pretty good nick to say it is a municipal golf course.

Hilly and testing municipal course with some interesting and stunning holes. With a bit of extra care the course could be amazing but given the price you can’t complain. Decent amenities as well. Always enjoy playing the course.

If you're in or around North Manchester & you're looking to get into golf or want a great turn-up & play course; this is it. The course has looked phenomenal this year, better than it's ever looked. The bridge on 15th is still being re-built so the 14th is a temporary hole. Great views of Manchester all around. Does wonders for your calf muscles if you're walking it. Legs like tree trunks afterwards. Pitch & putt is always great too if you don't have much time that day. Free parking for golfers, just put your reg down in the book.

Greens were well kept. Bunkers were poor. Fairways were ok but some area they appear to have struggled to cut.

Good greens and fairways in good condition

Not very clear/signage route around the course missed the 14th hole

Not played the course for 20 years.

Forgot how hilly it was, recommend a buggy really if warm once a year😄,

Overall pace was quite slow 4.5 hours although a 4 ball let us through, one didn’t for last few 4 holes.

Greens a little slow but had played on really fast ones 2 days before.

Some complication around hole 15 not just us but also group behind.

Hard course to play lots of balls needed if not straight, many blind shots which is awkward if you haven’t played the course before hence buggy might help to go and see what you are playing.

Overall a fun day in the sun.
