Malkins Bank Golf Club

Booked online for a nice round of golf with my son, I must say how really disappointing the experience was, no facilities open. The course was very wet perhaps with hindsight the course should have been closed. the number of balls lost to leaves covering the poorly maintained fairways was ridiculous, bunkers in extremely poor condition. Sad to see this once outstanding course in such poor condition it sadly looks rather dilapidated. Even the compressor was turned off, so unable to clean off the excess mud from our trolleys and footwear. Sadly I would not recommend a visit in the present circumstances.

Played this course around 5yrs ago with the Society, was in very good condition well kept course , returned today and was not really the same condition as before , needs a lot of tlc across the course , very good course with lots of potential and some really nice holes.

For a £10 round can't complain. Twilight rate really is bargain golf. However alot of beginners and no golf etiquette. Greens need some water and course overall needs some attention.

The layout and holes are brilliant. With some good investment this course could be fantastic.

Range not in use....

Just a bit scruffy and tired. Money being spent on the bar and hospitality but seems the course is being forgotten.

We have played Malkins Bank numerous times over the years, and it's clear that they no longer put the effort into the course that it deserves.

It might be autumn, but there has been no attempt to clear the leaves that litter every fairway and treeline, making it near impossible to find a ball on the fairway at times, let alone in the trees.

The greens are scorched and cracked, like they've never been watered this summer. Yet, if you play in the months when it rains, it is waterlogged and unkept.

Today's game saw greens like concrete. Hitting them would result in an 8 foot bounce. Even chipping on to a reasonable distance would see them roll off the other side.

The 15th hole is awful. If you hit your ball 200 to 250, good luck, there is no fairway. Just a thin strip of land.

Woosie's Corner? More like Woosie's Cutting Corners.

Malkins bank has gone even further downhill. The course is poorly kept, greens are terrible, £25 is overpriced and not worth the visit unless it's less than £15.

Great value golf course. Only slight downer some greens require attention. Really enjoyed everything else about both the course and the off course. Side note driving range being worked on so not in use.

Amazing value for money but due to the price you do get a lot of non golfers playing who make it slow and can be a bit of a pain. The course layout is great but the greens and bunkers need some work. The greens are very slow but rock hard, you can’t hit a wedge into the green and expect to hold it.

First time playing this course, as it is with pretty much every course as I'm a beginner. And wow! £10 for 18 holes on a lovely summers evening, unbelievable value. There's a 9 hole par 3 course not too far away that costs more. Played with a my father-in-law who has played for years and he couldn't believe it was so cheap. Tough course with narrow fairways (narrow for me) but in good condition. Only negative is that the greens had been left with multiple pitch marks but that's obviously not the course managers or greenkeepers fault, players should be kind enough to repair them. Would definitely return and recommend to anyone whether on a budget or not.

Turned up 6 30 am to be welcomed by a closed course .I called this club all day and no answer no call back .money down the drain .well hacked off will not be using golf now ever again.

Nice test of golf, course was in lovely nick. Shame we got stuck behind the slowest two ball ever, some people have no idea!!

Generally flat course.

Few elevated tees.

Greens need attention, weeds, holes, sand on them.

Great value for money, not perfect, but nice.

Club house/bar nice.

Nice outdoor space.

Plenty of parking.

Course in fair condition due to the weather greens a little mossy but still descent nick .Pace of play was great as we tee'd off at 630am lol .

As we finished on the 18th green we walked off to be met by the golflife legend Pete AKA TUBES 😁 who was meeting friends
