Came to get my short game dialled in, very good course length. Good variety of distances and a decent green sizes. I used driver for the first hole but the tee beds don’t offer anywhere for tees. I suppose they don’t want people running the risk of driver on the par 4. Used anything from my Hybrid down to sand wedge for the rest of the tee boxes. I didn’t use the tee boxes generally as they are rock hard like concrete so just played a couple of yards where I could.

Greens were fairly hard and very fast due to to trampled ground but not expecting the best on the par 56 little course but still playable. Very enjoyable to sum it up! pace of play was generally okay I feel like tee times were not managed well or enforced which was causing congestion on the first tee. It was plain sailing after that if I’m honest though. Course could do with better maintenance though.

This course is perfect for practicing your short game, me and a friend was more than happy with the course and felt welcomed on and around the course. They have a lovely cafe serving very nice hearty food. And a brilliant junior setup for kids of all ages.

Great little Par 3 course only 45 min from Manchester. Perfect for a 10 Yr old kid, not long at all. 1 hour and half knock, busy but flows really well. Would recommend and demo return. Excellent value.
