Thoroughly enjoyed the stay, comfortable environment, welcoming and helpful staff. Drinks prices were a little high especially when you’re a captive audience. Also - the Nicklaus course was seriously flawed (not their fault, but greens infected with fungus making them very uneven) however their offering as recompense was only to benefit them - pretty poor (ie a “2-4-1” voucher for the course requiring you to come back, stay and spend yet more money on them!?!)

Great course some very attractive holes all the way through, we were expecting the greens to be faster and truer than the Cheshire course but they were about the same but great for society golf which is what this place is all about.

We played the Cheshire course twice and Jack Nicklaus once. It’s very disappointing that we were not informed of the extent of the course maintenance before arrival and given the opportunity to re arrange our booking. The maintenance work also caused long delays on tees as bottlenecks of golfers built up particularly at the 6th 7th and 8th tees. This resulted in 2 x 5 1/2 hour rounds on the Cheshire course. We played 3 rounds in 3 days with 2 buggies at £36 each,2 of the buggies broke down during our rounds and had to be replaced by the course marshals There was no driving range availability between 8am and 4pm on any of the days due to a PGA tournament. Tee’s on the Cheshire course were very worn and unattended. Golf staff service was unwelcoming and they appeared visibly unhappy.

We played the day after a PGA comp, so the greens had been ironed intensely and were so much faster than the Cheshire course. A lovely course with picturesque views. Wide forgiving fairways, however the bunkers were deep, numerous, and many with a lip so clean bunker shots were required to lift the balls out. Certainly a thin bunker shot would not get you out.

Wide fairways make this course relatively straight forward. Some ongoing drainage work left some Sand filled channels on some fairways, and as an apology they issued us with 2 for 1 vouchers as recompense. They do leave the grass around many bunkers long and whispy. Not sure why, but it seems to be a feature. Can’t say that I’m a fan of this, makes them look unkempt. The bunkers themselves had shallow sand depth, and contained many stones.

Average rating for difficulty of the course is my rating as 5 handicapper. The ladies in our party found it difficult and a v long walk. My trolley battery gave up after 16 holes. First time. Nuff said! I played this course a few years ago and thought the condition was better then. Fairways needed a cut and lacked definition. Tees needed a cut. Bunker surrounds have been left to grow out a la Pinehust. Didn’t work for me sadly. Condition of course maybe down to weather before our arrival. A lot of bunkers were GUR.
