Marriott Hollins Hall Country Club

This golf course is perfect for those of us that want to play in beautiful surroundings on a course that whilst being open and fair it does provide the average golfer with a challenge.

Not an easy course in the near gale conditions we encountered. The penal rough gobbled up a number of my playing partner’s balls ( just one for myself). Greens were superb.

Nice course with some interesting holes. Always in good condition when I’ve played, and some lovely views of the surrounding moors. The only thing is; you definitely need a buggy! The walk up to the first tee is enough to knacker you out for the rest of the round!

Lovely course with some picturesque holes, manicured in the right places. Greens were consistent, fairways were lush with plenty of grass. Really enjoyed my round, only slight observation is there wasn’t enough signs directing you to the next tee

Fairways superb and Course could have been great, all bunkers GUR and greens poorly spiked let it down badly. Very very expensive for the poor quality

The course has a great layout, challenging and enjoyable to play. The only downside was the greens weren't in the best condition, however this is to be expected for early April. I'll be sure to come back in the height of summer for another round. I'll look forward to chopping it around again.

Beautiful course layout in a stunning location. It is an expensive course to play on & I would normally say it’s worth paying that bit extra for but on this & the previous occasion I have played here the greens have been in very poor condition which is a shame for such a lovely course.

Have played a number of courses recently where they are struggling to get the greens up to spec after a harsh winter but they made us aware of it before starting & they were still Charing winter rates accordingly,. Hollins Hall should be doing the same at the moment in my opinion.

Love this course, it's in excellent condition hats off to the grounds staff ,great layout out easy to follow, lovely location, the staff here are so friendly and helpful

Solid 4 stars but don’t let that put you off. Course was good fun. After weeks of heavy rain It was damp in places and greens weren’t to summer standards but it was all passable and the cart paths really helped walking across the wetter holes.

Couple of temporary greens but the rest were all proper. Slightly disappointing the 14th was on a temp green which is probably the most picturesque hole. All proper tee boxes albeit a long way forward.

Well worth the money to play a decent course and given the weather condition was entirely passable.

I used to play this course regularly under its previous ownership. Its condition and maintenance has since unfortunately dropped yet prices to play seem to be on the increase.

I get that it is winter but it appears little consideration has been made to sustain a playing surface for the spring/summer months.

Every hole is boggy and muddy under foot. Tee boxes are in an appealing state, random winter greens without notification from pro shop and multiple golf groups all teeing off at the same time.

Overbooked, over priced and underwhelming

We cancelled another nearby course which had holes shut to play this for the first time and we weren't disappointed. First of all, what a pleasant and professional welcome by the golfing staff, so helpful and looked after our group of 11 players from the minute we stepped through the door. We had arrived early to go and explore some of the many good local courses and they let us know about the better ones locally. When we returned, they drove us all up the hill to the first tee and got the whole group out early. The course was a bit damp but completely understandable given the recent weather, only two temps which were still challenging. The course lay out is very typical of hotel golf, so quite open, good bunkering and the green are superbly designed with almost every putt having some break in it. Even though I played really well and loved the course, I would really like to come back in summer when you are getting roll out on the fairways as some holes are definitely going to play easier in that weather eg hole 9. But in a time when a lot of courses are struggling to keep all holes open and courses playable, this was a fantastic experience. As a result of the staff welcome, their willingness to chat and inform us about the course and hotel we are looking at dates to return for a weekend visit which seems to be a complete bargain at a suggested £99 DBB and two rounds. Well done to the staff, some courses could learn from how you treated everyone who arrived to play golf yesterday.

DO NOT BOOK WITH GOLF PASS!!!! Golf Pass without my knowing signed me up to a 12 month subscription and then tried to take £99 the week after from my bank account.

Be very careful when using this company.

Hollins Hall is a great course in the summer and I would highly recommend it but I’d stay away in the winter as it’s far to boggy.

Excellent course with some excellent risk and reward holes. Having a cart path so buggies can be used all year Round is great aswel. Drink in the bar a little expensive but other than that it’s great.

Course was brilliant, a couple of temporary greens which were a shame but the only real down side is the price of beer afterwards

Granted I only paid £15 for this round, however the condition of the course was atrocious.

The fairways were unrecognizable and consisted of wet mud with balls often unplayable even off a preferred lie. It was difficult to walk down most fairways, never mind attempt to play golf.

The greens were also littered with clumps of mud from other players shoes and had to be cleared before playing a stroke. They were however of decent pace.

The tee boxes were also well worn and muddy. Personally, I’d prefer to play off winter tees than grass tee boxes in this state.

This course may well be a gem in the summer months, however I most definitely wouldn’t recommend between December and March.

Checked in to the hotel at 2.30(should be 4 pm) ready for our 3 night stay and looking forward to 2 days golfing. We were extremely pleased with the cleanliness and facilities of the room, even a coffee machine. Staying over the weekend does involve being amongst large wedding groups and queues but Frédéric went out of his way to ensure that guests needs were met and appeared to be always on hand to help in whatever way he could, ensuring all our needs were promptly attended. Service was efficient and food very good, the pizza was the best we have ever tasted, we shared one between 2 with salad side orders and it was more than enough. The golf was excellent and Mark couldn' t have been more friendly and helpful and attentive to all guests and golfers. He was happy to impart local knowledge and helpful advice and was always cheery. We took a buggy but I think it would be an enjoyable course to walk.The course was in great condition and the greens were very fast. Being able to relax in the pool/sauna/jacuzzi before a drink in the bar and a good meal made this a perfect break.We really enjoyed our 2 days of golf and Mark had very obligingly fitted us in for the third day only the rain defeated us! Certainly an enjoyable stay that we look forward to repeating sometime soon. Thank you to all and especially to Frederic and to Mark.
