Staining Lodge Golf Course

I really enjoy playing this course as it's good layout and has rapidly improved over the years since opening.

However the last four rounds have all been well in excess of 3h40 mins with two of them over 4 hours. (All rounds played in 2 or 3 balls)

The lack of on-course marshals combined with novice "lockdown golfers" has created a turgid pace of play with waits on every shot.

Whereas I can get round other courses in under 3 hours, I have to plan for 4 hours+ on the course making it more difficult to find tee times around my schedule.

As good as it is to see so many people enjoying golf, without marshals to push forward the pace of play, inexperienced players are not realising the impact their dawdling is having on many groups behind.

Hopefully it improves otherwise I will have to look elsewhere to get my hour back!

Good selection of holes, able to socially distance, nice to be out in the fresh air !

played the course on 20.7, after all the rain recently I didn't expect the course to be in such a good condition, even the greens. Well done

I have played this course since it fist open as a 9 hole now 18 hole and just gets better

Friendly staff

Good amenities in-spite of Coronavirus available

Great course layout

Great condition we found the course in

Very much affordable given all of the above!

I’ll be back!

Well worth a visit. Great course, well kept fairways and greens under the current lockdown situation. 100% recommend.

Few bad reviews on here about condition of the course but it's in good condition at the moment. Decent course lay out and greens and fairways were nice. Forgiving course which was good after the covid 19 lay off. Very open course though and was rather windy. Paid 18.50 fair sort of price.

Came back to this course after a winter round. The greens were great and the condition of the course in general was fantastic. I will be going back again, hopefully the wind is not as sharp as it was today.

Very nice indeed - in fantastic condition, great driving range and friendly staff.

Not played this course for a few years and I can safely say I won't be going back anytime soon.. There's no way this course should even be open, nevermind charging nearly £20.00!! No difference between the rough and the fairway and you will be lucky to even find your ball if you hit the fairway.. We had to walk off after 9 holes because the conditions were ridiculous..

I played here recently and it was really boggy. Balls that went in the middle of the fairway took a long time to find, once they were found they were drilled into the ground because of the softness (wet/winter). I loved the course layout and really want to play this challenging course when the conditions get better.

Not a bad course and value for money if you can get a cheap deal. Some of the greens on the back 9 let this course down. It’s open and forgiving and worth a visit

Nice course with plenty of challenging holes, very good value for money, was tricky with the wind and rain but definitely worth a visit, I’ll definitely go back

The course was in lovely condition and I thoroughly enjoyed playing there again

Visited this course many times over the years when staying in Blackpool. Well kept course, some slight hills with views over countryside. Not too busy after morning rounds so we were on our own on a very sunny day midweek. Lovely experience. Staff in bar friendly and food very good. Outside terrace overlooking course.
