Excellent course, challenging with beautiful views

The course has beautiful views throughout. The layout is a bit confusing for a first timer and the design of the holes adds to the challenge of the course when you haven’t played it before.

The holes are not the longest but are well designed and offer a good challenge. The course was in perfect condition and it was a thoroughly enjoyable round, would definitely recommend.

“Hidden Gem #2”

I read a review calling this place a hidden gem and that sums it up perfectly. Lovely lay out over a lot of land, due to this there aren’t many hills / up downs!! Really good greens for this time of year. Some great views on the way round. £26 seems steep for a course in this area but it’s decent value for money. Would be more suited around 20/22£

Stunning view's great course.

I found this course by accident, me and my playing partner decided this year to try more course's in the Northwest...thank god we did...some people don't like a par 3 opening hole but when it looks like the one a Walmersley you'd be crazy not to love it..the greens are good considering its basically winter.and there's a lot of picturesque holes.

Its well worth a visit..we will certainly be going again.

Good round

Really enjoyable round at Walmersley. Course in great condition given the recent weather. Compliments to the green keepers, the fairways were well kept and the greens were fast and tricky, loved it. Highly recommended.

Wonderful course

A great way to review a course you play for the first time, is when all of your party agree that the course is worth playing again. That was unanimous option of my playing group

Brilliant day at a beautiful course

Considering we had solid rain for 24 hours prior to playing we could not believe how well the course held up to it. Hardy any surface water and the greens ran true. A very friendly welcome from all. Will definitely be back again soon.
