Golf course review of Huyton & Prescot Golf Club

Course - superb. Greens are un-real and frighteningly quick.
Members - We had such a poor experience due to two groups of inconsiderate and rude members who did not understand the etiquette of golf. Hitting up to green whilst we were putting. Accusations of slow play despite a 1 hr 50 minute front 9. Threats to report the members we were with for slow play.
Such disregard for visitors and it blighted what was a great golf day. We were made to feel so unwelcome and as though members take priority despite the fact that we were not playing slowly and were all single handicap golfers.
Needless to say I reported them to their pro and club secretary after our game.
Hopefully these are a minority because the course itself is outstanding.

Golf course review of Huyton & Prescot Golf Club

Played here today and must write a review for anyone thinking of playing.
The course itself is fantastic I literally can't fault it. The greens are lightning quick and so true. They reward good putts but also punish anything slightly off line or over hit.
However the great course was blighted somewhat by rude and inconsiderate members who didnt seem to understand the concept of etiquette.
Our 4 ball tee'd off at 7am. Come the 10th hole it was 9.10 so clearly no slow play in evidence, we were playing matchplay so were holing out on each green. One fourball behind us quickly caught us up as they were playing quickly and picking up on the greens. They asked to play through us on a par 4, despite three of their group still putting on the green behind us. "We are members and you are slowing us down" was their comment. Incorrectly the member (new to course) that I was playing with decided to let them play through causing us a 10 minute delay. On the very next hole the fourball behind them also asked us to let them through. One of them threatened to report us to the secretary if we didn't, shocking. At this point I was +4 through 10 holes so not exactly hacking it around.
We ended up taking 4 hours 20 minutes to complete 18 holes, including 20 minutes stood waiting for two groups to pass through. Slow play?? I think not.
So in summary, excellent course, but stuffy members who display no respect or manners towards visitors and disrupt their play. It's almost like an 'Its my ball you can't play' attitude just because it's their club. Very poor indeed.
Needless to say, I reported THEM to the pro and secretary after the round.
I was considering joining but not now, not in a million years.

Golf course review of Huyton & Prescot Golf Club

The greens are scary, they aren't far off Augusta speed. Anyone decent with a wedge though should score well due to its length.
