Great condition for the time of year

The weather forecast was not great, consequently the course was pretty empty. As it happened, we only got wet for 10 minutes! The greens were running better than several other courses, and although it was inevitable that parts were wet, in general the course was in good nick. Our two ball got round in 3 hours 15 minutes, value for money cannot be faulted.

How the mighty have fallen.

We travelled down from Merseyside to tee off at 6:50am. This use to be a little gem of a coarse, but sadly it has lost its shine. Mud and water on some greens. The green keeper had only cleared the surface water two meters around the flags. It looks neglected. We won't be back in a hurry!

Value for money

This course has a lot to offer for the price wide fairways so not that complicated but you can still find trouble anything right of the 2nd Tee some nice challenges all the way round. Course did get flooded at some point so one of the holes was played from another position but they made it work very soggy in February will try again to see how it turns out in the summer staff at the club house Friendly however only downside was the push carts were pretty well beaten up need some better ones as they charge for using them;)

Leaves

I played this course and all the fairways were covered in leaves . Through our my whole game I didn’t see a groundsMan

It cost me more in balls than the actual round itself

Play elsewhere

I've played Malkin's on hundreds of occasions over the years but have never seen it in such bad condition. The tees aren't even worthy of one star. There is no grass or growth on many of the fairways and the 15th march is a joke. There is a lack of attention everywhere. I heard that the course was for sale - well best of luck with that.

Always good value, but………

First off, I love this course. It has consistently been great value for money and I’ve played here 10+ times.

But……. The 15th badly needs sorting out. A huge swathe of the fairway has resigned itself to GUR and if you’re not a big hitter, you’re definitely going there!

This weeks round was frustrated by the worlds slowest 4 ball…….in buggies but still lagging behind the group in front by 2 holes! Not the courses falult, of course, i’m just moaning.

Overall, it’s a lovely course and such good value. They should sort out the 15th (maybe cut into a short par 3??) and that would be perfect.
