Malkins Bank Golf Club

It’s a good course nicely set out but now winter is here and with the rain we’ve had it’s quite boggy in a fair few places which Carnt be helped , they’ve just put the prices up and with how the course currently is you can get a round of golf in at various other courses on the golf now app cheaper , not the best time to put the prices up

It should be shut it's that muddy and the guy in front of me playing 2 or3 balls every hole

The first 7 holes had a small 30ft of area cleared around the flag, which meant if you played into that area you had a chance at a putt, however, from the 8th hole onwards there was no dew dispersal at all, making putting very difficult.

I was very surprised by this, as the course had a club competition starting 15 minutes after our tee time.

The course was also badly waterlogged in the back 9, with the 15th being quite the quagmire. It is this way every single year but nothing appears to be done about it. Woosie's Corner, more like Woosie's Keele.

Stick to the summer months, it's a great course then.

The course conditions were terrible with many soft areas and mud

Tree lined meant excessive leaves on greens and fairways fedultimg in lost balls in the middle of the fairway

Signposting was very poor and information on arrival very poor

Little wonder it’s only £10

Love playing this course, beginner golfer only been out 4 times but the staff are always friendly and it’s great fun. Could be improved slightly in various aspects but it could equally be twice the fee price so it’s swings and roundabouts

Great course. Lovely conditions. Greenkeepers are kind and friendly

You know what your getting for the price. Very wet in places not surprising with the amount of rain we’ve had!

I have played this course on numerous occasions and this was the worst condition I have found the course in. Many of the tee boxes are bear or have large amounts of divots that require repair, the greens are very bobbly and gave many patches of diseased or dead grass on them and all the grass around the bunkers is brown and withered. It should be a lovely course if looked after but is rapidly degenerating.

I was returning to Malkins Bank having not played the course for 25 years and I was pleasantly surprised by how the course had matured, with the addition of tree lined fairways and a reversal of the holes (back nine now the front nine etc.). Just a couple of observations or improvements, the pace of play could have been better, there are 8 minutes between planned tee off times but a three ball jumped in the middle which increased waiting time significantly plus the greens were a little inconsistent varying from super quick to quite slow making this element of the game more challenging than usual.

Overall it was a great experience, the facilities are excellent and the course presents a decent challenge.

For £10 you get 100 balls on a range, we played a course . Some great holes and was it in perfect condition! No but for £10 it was the bargain of the year .

Clubhouse very friendly and food prices very good but don’t know how the food was as it was shutting as we finished .

My only moan is that course etiquette , even though has reduced over the years (for the good ) should still be followed.

I’m an avid believer that golf should be a sport for all but it still needs to keep a bit of dress code , shoes etc and not shouting from one side of the fairway to another .

Other than that can’t wait to come back for the price and try the bar and food out

Really don’t understand the negative reviews considering it’s £7.50 for 18 holes. It’s really well kept, the greens are good and it’s quite long so great value for money. Price will attract newer golfers so pace was a touch slow but honestly no idea how anyone could moan about this for the price. Would 100% return.

First time playing here and a good course. Grass on the fairways was a little long today. However will let this go as it’s been so wet and not easy to cut when this wet.

I turned up at 7,10 hoping to buy some balls and tees but unfortunately the club shop never opened in time for my 7.30 Tee time, luckily there was a young lad there who’s first day it was working there and he called someone for me and they said to get some range balls which was very good of them but I still had no score card to show me the layout of the course so slightly disappointed
