Werneth Golf Club

From an initial really warm welcome, the friendliness continued around with locals and members all pleasant and helping you navigate the 'brook' and the best ways to go over it etc.

Considering the really wet conditions, the course played very well and with only a handful of 'winter greens' made for a good challenge. Winter mats required which is expected

Course was in great condition, members were friendly and pro was great helping sort booking!

First time here. Tight course, didn't use the driver often. Great use of the ravine - an exceptional feature. Excellent layout maximising space, Superb views too. Little bit boggy off the fairways but, you know, November in north west England, of course it is. Absolutely going to play here again. Hopefully will have shaken off this 'topping' habit by then. Not the courses fault though.

From start to finish had a great day, even though the we had had a lot of rain the course was in good condition. Some very clever holes and well laid out. The pro was an absolute gentleman very helpful and present. Ask for the course map as this will help you around. We can’t wait for the lock down to be over so we can play it again. Thanks to all staff at werneth

First time playing. It was a nice course. Fairly flat with a ravine running through the middle which comes into play across several holes offering a nice challenge.

Played this course again. Played much better this time. Coufse was in good condition. A bit wet in places. Green were very good. Well maintained. It is short but challenging. That ravine, something else. Second time around signage was easier. Will play this regularly.staff were friendly and members are good fun.

Not the best of days. Golf game was off . All aspects. Just could not hit anything. The course played well though. Some challenging holes across the chasm. Signing for tees could be improved. Greens were good. Pace of play was good. Would play again. Though hopefully be able to hit my shots a lot better. Enjoyed the round.

Couldn't fault my afternoons golf here. When I arrived the pro was out, but left a note and was back at the specified time. The practice green is well kept and there is one bay for hitting the longer stuff in your warmup.

The course was nice and quiet, so wayward drives were less of an issue- but it was much firmer than the last time I was here- dry feet all the way round. The fairways are very well maintained, and the rough is better than some fairways I've played on. A handful of divots on the greens, but that's to be expected late in the day.

I've really conflicting opinions about this course.

The good- The fairways and rough were of a good length, and the greens played quite well considering the rain. The bloke in the pro shop was very helpful, and provided a map as it was my first visit. The locals on the course were friendly, helpful and considerate, as were the maintenance staff.

The bad- The fairways were quite squelchy underfoot- just about playable from, but not pleasant. The gorge was a big problem for me. Not only did it claim a fair few balls, but (combined with the tight, criss-cross nature of the course) was a bit of a worry that I'd hit other players, certainly as a beginner.

I'll definitely be back, but it'll be when I'm a bit more confident in my abilities!

It's a good course and has nice views around it. What could be improved are tee boxes that looked like they needed mowing at least, greens could be a bit tidier too

First time played with friend who knew the course, which was critical as many blind second shots to greens.

Greens and fairways in lovely condition.

Will definitely return soon.

Over the summer me and a few friends have been trying to play new courses. This time it was Werneth

I’ll get the negatives out of the way first.

It’s a beginners course. Great for beginners to high handicappers. It’s fairly short but tight.

The tee blocks really let it down. The tee blocks grass at times was as long as the rough.

The worse part was the time between shots. Slow play was a grind. Just constantly waiting. To the point I started giving chipping lessons to my friend to pass the time. We gave up on the 17th and called it a day. I don’t believe the cause of this was from members but a couple of lads learning to play.

The good points. It’s a tricky and interesting course. Fairways and greens were lovely.

The professional was very friendly. Gave us a map of the course to help us get around.

The members were some of the friendliest I’ve ever met. Happy to chat and have a good laugh with.

I would return but hopefully on a quieter day when I just want a knock around for a bit of fun.

First time playing Werneth. It’s a quirky course but the members are all very helpful to point out the next tee. A shortish course but some challenging holes, will play again.
