Good lay out, good condition

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

Excellent course

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.

Great course but not when they have just tined and sanded the greens

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

Very good course

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

Great 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.

Tired

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.

Experience

Fantastic course.

Well worth the fee.

Bad experience with 2 members behind us playing very dangerous balls towards us before we had time to clear the green. One ball hit the bunker while my partner was still playing from it. Another time, a ball shot through the green while we were putting. They were very aggressive when I challenged them on it. Not what I expected from a top class rated golf club.
