What the club says: Childwall presents a very tough test of Golf and can match any course in the area. With its James Braid design the course is not undulating and is very pleasant to walk. However, some holes do rise and this can affect the run of the ball. The art deco style Clubhouse has recently been extensively refurbished and it is complimented by a splendid new large patio, both of which add to the club’s overall friendly, hospitable atmosphere.

Very poor. Weather against course preparations obviously but a shadow of its former self. Very disappointing. Lovely patio though

Lovely course in excellent condition

This is the first time playing this great course. The tees, the fairways and the greens were all in excellent condition. The first cut of rough is fair and the second cut of rough is tough to get out of but entirely fair as you shouldn't be that far off the fairway. There are a lot of well placed bunkers, if you can't carry them you can go round them and the bunkers were in good condition. The facilities are very good and the professional was really helpful with a good sense of humour. The bar is good and the staff friendly. One of the best clubs I have played.

Avoid course for a few months, maybe even rest of season. Greens are totally lost taken by either the golfing God's or more likely inferior course management .

Disgruntled member rated 1 out of 5

Reviewed Apr 24 2023

Course has declined over recent months. Shoddy & scruffy with unplayable greens currently. CGC markets itself as one of the high end Merseyside courses with signing on fee circa £1250, annual membership around £1400 and visitor green fees around £70 . Simply not good value in its current condition. Various works have recently been undertaken including club house refurb and a somewhat bizarre patio re fit. Simply put this has resulted in the eye being taken off the ball course wise and perhaps reflects the desires of club officers and management to have an updated clubhouse/social facility at the detriment of the actual asset which is the course. Hopefully it will soon return to its former glory and provide a sound test for all levels of golfer.

Course is not in good condition currently. Greens are extremely substandard for time of year. More in keeping with a low end municipal. Bunkers are poor and fringes etc bald and will prove difficult for most golfers to play on. Some work has been seen with two new tees, 1st & 7th, 2nd green has been reshaped. A new patio area is now in place though sadly this does not flow with the aesthetics of the fine art deco clubhouse . Play if you must, though plenty of other courses in Merseyside area offer better VFM.

Avoid for a few month it’s in very poor condition. Greens are substandard for time of year and overall course is unkempt. Chipping around green area is particularly difficult which will not suit the lower handicap golfer. Bunkers are also awful. Tragic as Childwall is a great layout and a good test for all levels. The art deco clubhouse has been recently refurbished though now boasts a patio area that is not in fitting complete with mood lighting and a host of uncomfortable wooden chairs. It now resembles a 1970 holiday camp. One positive is the showers are nice and hot however

This is decent without being amazing. Nice parkland course with some challenging holes. Also has a couple of ?space fillers? which could be better. Members for the most part are nice but one or two on the occasions I have played hark back to the snootier side of golf memberships. Play with a mate whose a member and do enjoy it.

certainly worth a visit and as it is a well manicured parkland course, utterly fantastic for golfing families like no other I've seen.

Really well presented. Go and enjoy!
