Nice course

Well maintained course, layout of the course isnt very flowing, a few long walks to the next tee, we played and had very strong winds which didnt help on some holes, i think 13th has the best views

Average course

There were excellent views but everything seemed a bit condensed in terms of layout, most of the par 4s you're probably as well hitting an iron of the tee, I didn't hit anything more than a 3-wood, some of them I was hitting lovely, expecting to find it on the fairway & it was nowhere to be seen (can only assume it went long). Greens were OK but could probably have been cut shorter.

Current rating is 4.6 which is too high, it's more a 3-star course.

Great views!

First time we’ve played Walmersley. There are some good holes and some great views. A little hilly at times but still very enjoyable. We found the layout a little vague, it would have been helpful to have directions to the next tee box, and we completely missed the 17th green! There were a couple of areas that were very soft and I could imagine the course being boggy in the winter. Not bad value for money with the hot deal, we payed £20, not sure I’d want to pay much more. I’d definitely play here again.

Great place

If you get the chance you must pay a visit,we arrived via a back road as a hgv was stuck on the drive way to the course,it seems it's the satnavs telling them to go down a very very tight road,anyway on arrival we were welcomed by the staff and I was glad I booked a buggy,cause their was no way I would have finished the course without it with my artheritus.great course layout apart from the walk between some holes could be upto two hundred yards,but having a buggy was brilliant but they only have a few so book in advance,all staff and members very friendly.greens bit bobbly but overall really good nick.so if you get the chance give it a go the views are brilliant around.

Tricky

First time I’ve played this course.

Definitely would return. Course is tricky for a first timer as we were unsure where we were going. Couple of blind shots that really help if you know where to aim.

There wasn’t much to complain about. Our tee time was in the middle of a mid week medal. Since we were the only four ball we had to let a couple of groups through.

The tee blocks were a little patchy and uneven.

Everything else was excellent. Greens very receptive and great roll.

Fairways and rough were at a great length and condition.

The course is tough on the legs when walking. Nothing horrendous or to steep but constant changes, if you struggle mobility wise I might just give it a miss.

Members very pleasant. Clubhouse very welcoming.

Overall a good experience.

Well maintained course good views

Greens are very nice looked after, cut well, fairways and rough good lengths, rough not too long so finding ball is ok when you slice or draw a shot haha. Speaking of which, there are quite a few dog legs almost 90 degrees in 1 case so being able to draw the ball or aiming left off the tee is good to shorten the hole. or lay up. Some narrow fairways from the tee so tests accuracy and get off line and you are punished. Overall a nice course, a few holes with water, some elevated greens, great views around, played on competition day saturday so a few 4 ball members quite slow and wouldn't let me play though as a 1-ball, I would not go on a competition day again as was being held up by duffers and spending 10mins looking in the rough for lost balls.. overall I would recommend it for the course.

Well managed challenging course

The condition of the course is great, greens quite fast and well cut, fairways and rough good withsome tricky narrow ones and tricky tee shots. A few dog legs, most to the left so good if you can draw the ball or lay up with irons. Played on competition day saturday so was quite quite slow playing 4 balls so got held up twice during the round. Other than that its a good course few water hazards and course is well looked after that's quite important to me. Par 71 shot an 83, not bad.
