Ellesmere Port Golf Club - Hooton Course

Great price for 18 holes, picked a late tee off which was a mistake as treated my missus and stepson to their first round of golf so was slow paced and only made it to the 14th before darkness came from no where. Disappointed with the fairways as felt penalised for hit good shots because fairways battered in leafs so impossible to find your ball as they tuck under the leaves and when I say leaves I mean like 20tons worth on 80% of fairway.

Booked a late tee off with missus and step son and was there first even course they’d played. Not the easiest to navigate but we managed just about, rented a buggy too. Unfortunately darkness came fast and didn’t make it passed the 14th hole. Only downside was amount of balls lost, fairways absolutely battered in leafs like an unusual amount so a good hit and staying on fairway ment the balls tucked under leaves and impossible to find.

Played Ellesmere Port Golf Club recently and really enjoyed the round. The course was in good condition, fairways well kept and the greens rolled nicely with a decent pace. It’s a fairly flat layout which makes it an easy walk, but there’s still enough challenge with some tight holes and well-placed hazards. The clubhouse was welcoming with friendly staff and reasonably priced food and drinks. Overall, a great value course that’s ideal for both casual golfers and those wanting a solid test.

It’s a public course and offers golfers a healthy challenge from high handicappers to low ones. Tee boxes and greens are not in great shape but the course itself presents challenges with its parkland layout.

Course very dry, not in good condition, work going on, glad I booked throu golfnow not worth £25 in peak time, its a shame was a good course 2 yr ago

This course has been wrecked by poor management in recent past.

However work is now being done to correct this, the fairways and Tee boxes are fine generally, but the greens are still very poor, it looks like it'll take along time to restore it to it's previous high standard

The course was nearly in the best shape for a good few years. Only criticism was the greens not much grass on them and played like concrete but because of the weather lately understandable.

I played with 2 mates, course was in great shape. We were able to play at our own pace, a very warm welcome, thanks to the staff there.

had full breakfast prior to round, no cutlery offered, had to ask, still not brought out, had to eat with our hands, poor. (when i asked again for the cutlery the lady behind the bar said it was not her department)

informed just before our round which had been pre-booked a week before, that our teetime had been put back 40 mins but walk in players were being put out before me, poor.

a 5 1/2 hour round with 5 balls being allowed, 5 groups on the tee on hole 10-poor

The condition of the greens, very poor!

i can see that efforts are being made to improve the facilities but the condition of the course, greens and tee boxes should be a priority.

Brilliant course to go and play my only issue was there was no signs that we seen to say where next hole was but other than that cannot complain

I haven't played at this course for a few years due to its poor keep. I was made aware there has been a change in management and improvements have been made, so I thought I would give it a chance. Facilities have improved, and I can see whoever is running the course is giving it the attention it deserves. I understand the course still needs time to flourish, but I will come back again and hope to see more improvement on fairways and greens. Staff were really nice. Thankyou, and Keep up the good work.

Mr Cottis.

It felt like two many groups had tee’d off in close proximity to each other. We only played 10 holes due to this fact.

Tee boxes need attention bunkers had very little sand in them some greens need attention and a few fairways need work although you can see they are starting to get the fairways better lots of areas GUR.

Flags are the same colour going out and coming in I played to the wrong green on the 16th played the 3rd which is next to it.

Still reminds me of a municipal course sadly

Trying to improve what was a poorly run course but it's got years and years of work ahead of it. I have played this course over 50 times and I've never seen the greens in good condition putting on glass with holes in it. Hopefully the new management can get a grip of it and they have made slight changes in a small space of time. I wish them luck but I won't be paying £25 to play it again. Give it 5 years and I might try it again

Love playing golf so was grateful for the opportunity to play. Sadly this course is in terrible shape. Greens are awful apart from the 18th. Hopefully the new owners make it a great course again. Also too many members of the public walking wherever they like

Lots of GUR and greens have recently been hollowed. Large amounts of sand on several greens made putting extremely challenging even without the hollow tine holes .
