Vale Royal Abbey

First time playing Vale, I had heard this was a great course and I was not disappointed. First thing, practice green was in great condition, I thought to myself hope the course greens are as good and they where. Fairways where in good shape and nice to hit from. Bunkers had nice soft sand with plenty of rakes. All in the course was in great condition, one of the best I've played, and for £35 a bargain can't wait to play again.

Nice welcome in the pro shop, course in really good condition with true greens, it flows really well and is not a difficult walk.

Best green fee to course quality ratio I have ever played. It is absolutely sensational.

conditions fantastic, every single hole, different and has character, beautifully looked after. Tough course, really tricky in places but rewarding.

Reminds me a lot of a more parkland version of Delamere forest GC, well worth the visit, will be back.

One of my favourite courses played to date, I had an early morning tee time (06:00am) and with it being quiet I was able to play at a comfortable pace and take in the stunning course layout and scenery. Really great course and I will be back as often as possible. The green keepers are also proactive and respectful of play which demonstrates a pride and work ethic which was appreciated, all round great experience.

One of my favourite courses in Cheshire.

Condition of course was unbelievable and the greens were like a carpet.

Played this course around 5 times now, different times of the year. Today’s condition was the best I’ve seen but I’ve never been disappointed with the condition of the course.

Well received at the Pro shop. Ended up playing solo which was fine. Early start but the course/greens already prepped for the day by ground staff.

Good layout, good condition. Greens very good and relatively fast. Would play again

Thoroughly enjoyed our round at Vale Royal. Course in superb condition despite the dry weather. Greens ran true and fast, fairways were challenging. Just a couple of holes that weren't clear as to next tee, but not a big problem, would recommend.

This is a great layout, testing in places and a fun course. Sadly, our booking fell on a day the green staff had timed and heavily sanded the majority Of the greens. GN need to find a way to make this a choice for customers as it is a great course but sadly is down scored due to this point

This course has matured very well and is in very good condition. The greens were very true. The green fees are very reasonable for the quality of the course

Really enjoyed the course. Facilitators were excellent and the staff I spoke to were very helpful.

The only downside was a four ball of older chaps in front of me who refused to allow me to play through. 2hr 15m to play 9 holes as a 1 ball is a joke. I walked off after 9.

It hasn’t put me off playing there again and hopefully I will get to complete all 18.

Played this place last year and came back because of how good it was. It’s far from where it was a year ago. Tired, poorly kept, more concentration on high school proms and classic car meetings than maintaining the golf course. Food from the bar - good quality but slow.

Great course in fantastic condition. Greens were amazing.

Can’t fault it and quality food and drink at very reasonable prices as well in the 19th hole 👍👍
