Its an excellent coarse when dry

Played here a few times, today was the worst ive seen it ( due to the amount of rain lately) to be honest think they should have closed a couple of holes due to the amount of water on the fairways, wont stop me going back in the near future

Malkins Bank on a winters day

We arrived and were able to get on the course a few minutes early. We were pleasantly surprised that the ground was only wet in a few areas. We were restricted to temporary tees and some temporary greens. The course is so much better when the trees have foilage as it encloses the fairways and increases the challenge. That said there is a variety of holes to play with their own individual characteristics.

Really slow play

Played this course 7/11/21 first time I've played the course. We were stuck behind 2 x 3 balls took me and my friend 3 hrs just to complete 11 holes. We ended up walking off and not completing the course.

I understand weekends are busy on a course but tee time are booked too close to each other.

Course is very big and some very testing holes, due to it being winter its is boggy and alot of holes covered in leaves so your constantly struggling to find your ball.

Definitely a summer course!!!!

Overall 4/10

Brilliant!!

First time at Malkins bank and it was spot on. Will definitely be playing again. Some really tricky holes especially for a returning golfer such as myself. Pace of play was ok considering it was a Saturday dinner time tee off. Facilities were excellent. Great round overall.

Much Improved

I have played this course numerous times in last 25 years and don't think I can remember it in such good condition. Fairways are slightly fluffy, bunkers well sanded and many of the old rough spots ironed out. We did find the greens very slow I have to say, and the seepage of liquid across the 15th. fairway is something that really needs sorting. The club-house was closed and refreshments available from the Pro shop. The 4th. hole remains a real test, how do you keep the ball on the fairway, even if you hit it right down the middle? May as well add a couple of strokes to your score card even before you get on the tee!
