Reviews

I cut my teeth on this course and still have an affection for it. Relatively short and flat, the course is flattering to your handicap. However don't be too greedy or it'll bite back. A par 4 dogleg right is reachable in 1 if you cut the corner over the woods. Go on I dare you!!

Hillside heathland course on the edge of the pennines with excellent views across the Cheshire Plain on a fine day. A nice course offering a fair challenge to golfers of all abilities.

The views from the course are excellent (fog allowing) and the standard of the greens and fairways is high. As a visitor it was a little discouraging to have to pay £30 to play on the weekend (Nov 2001), but I understand member's rates are good value. Temporary greens are kept to a minimum which is preferable as they were difficult to work with in early October. However, we were disappointed to be asked to pick our balls off the fairway and play them off small pieces of 'astroturf' (18"x4") we were given. As we had never done so before we felt this was an enormous handicap. I'm not sure why this method of protecting the greens is preferred over teeing the ball up on the fairway but it interfered with an enjoyable round. I would be unable to recommend the course to others as long as this method is still in practice.

This is a testing course in terms of lung capacity with the uphill climbs but dont let this put you off what is a cracking course.
The views over the hills are tremendous and add a natural feel to the course.

What a great course. Very good test with narrow fairways, lots of bunkers and water hazards. A course you need to think around. The greens are some of the best you'll play on. Highly recommended.
