Ellesmere Port Golf Club - Hooton Course

I tried the course out for the first time as I had not seen it advertised anywhere, and didn’t know what to expect. I was impressed with the course layout and price, and although the condition of the greens was not perfect there had been some heavy rainfall which might have caused this. I would highly recommend if in the area!

£17 for 18 holes on a course is great value. Slow play due to players looking for balls they had hit in trees etc.

Staff very friendly

cheap round of golf course very dry lots of run on ball making it hard to place ball in correct places to score wellbut overall good

Easy on the legs with some challenging gullies to watch out for.

Signage to each Tee would help, especially the 17th which is unseen from the 16th hole.

It was a pleasure to play there.

Basic course, greens are of poor condition and very bobbly. Needs some investment to bring it upto a decent level.

This is a well maintained , challenging course to play. Some very tricky holes which makes you really think how to navigate around the course. Like stated well maintained and enjoyed the round. The price is exceptional value for money!

course needs work hopefully when weather picks up, fairways have not been cut and greens need treating

Played Ellsmere Port for the first time this year, Course needs quite a bit of tlc does not look as if the fairways have been cut this year and no work on the greens which look desperate for some attention. overall for the money it was ok because we have had some awful wet weather which has not helped. hopefully the green staff will get stuck in as weather picks up.

I was 1st to tee off at 7am so pace wasn’t an issue. Lots of rain all over the country so the course was understandably wet with standing water in places. The course is fairly flat, I didn’t go in any bunkers, using winter tee mats which were pretty torn up, greens ran pretty well and I enjoyed it. Shot 81 as a 10 handicapper. The Captain was opening up as I got there, he was helpful and friendly. There is a hose to use for your trolley which was useful. There is a gym on site and a bar/restaurant although I didn’t use the facilities. It’s value for money for sure, struggle to get 2 pints of lager for £10 so 3 hours golf entertainment is good.

For the price the course was fair, berry muddy so lost balls even on the fairway. Conditions not helped by still allowing buggies on the course and people driving them almost onto the greens. Also as there’s no plan on the scorecard and the holes are quite packed it wasn’t easy to follow.

With future investment this course will become a lovely course to play. Greens need major investment in and course signage to direct you to the next tee could be improved. Disappointingly we were not advised prior to our visit that temporary tee boxes were in use. Not withstanding the comments above an enjoyable round of golf was had, will play again in the future as very good value for the money.

Played the past 2 Wednesdays. Just over £8 a round. Can’t go wrong! Greens not the best however really enjoy playing the course

Played here twice now, £8.99 a round on a Wednesday can’t knock it! Friendly staff, greens aren’t 100% however I still enjoy playing the course

£16 for myself and son (14yo so foc) to play and it was the only local course with tee availability on a Sunday so can't complain.

It was very busy and pace of play was very slow but we were not in a rush so didn't really bother us.

Greens not great but you get what you pay for.i guess.

We had a good morning together and everyone was friendly so would return.

Greens an tee boxes just need a little work apart from that great course to have a knock on

Really disappointed with the course, the greens are very badly kept and the fairways for that matter, the whole course is just is bad condition, litter everywhere and just generally a mess. It's basically a public park with dog walkers freely walking across most fairways and even teenagers hanging out in the bunkers smoking! Definitely not a course ill be heading back to any time soon. The one positive - the chap in the pro shop was very friendly, outside of that there's not much positive to take away from this course unfortunately.
