Always great to play
3rd time playing this course, always friendly welcome in clubhouse & pro shop. Good practice facilities. Course in great condition, greens fairly quick but hard to read. Course little a little compact in places but well sign posted. A couple of par 3 card wreckers 9th & 18th. A joy to play. I'll be back(Round played: Aug 2021 - Score: 89 Handicap: 6.4)

Great track
Played it today for the first time this year. What an impressive course this is! So many varied and difficult holes, it just gets better and better as you get round. Greens were really good, very true and running out perfectly. Lots of work done to the course compared to last year good to see.We will be returning again and again, tempted to join at price!

great course 15 mins from Manchester city centre
Course with streams running across many holes and depends upon you tee shot as to whether you lay up or go for green. Plenty of trouble to get in if your not on fairway. Excellent greens even for this poor weather.Reviewer Rating

A warm welcome from pro and catering staff.the course was in great nik. fast greens in great condition.and has some stand out holes.unfortunately ..large society in front. This can happen.so no blame.it just became a long round and the only down side some greens are near touching distance to some t boxes..so just be aware..as it does add time to your round
..waiting ..my advice is go midweek..because it's a good course with good variety of holes it will test your game

Recently played here in an Open competition.Nice clubhouse & friendly members too.
This course has a combination of long par 4s,5s with some tricky par 3s.Got to say despite all of the gadgets we all under clubbed the "Rock" !
Fairways were lush & greens excellent providing you could read them correctly.
A couple of criticisms would be the club rule to "wave on" the following group on par 3s.This seemed unnecessary & bunched groups up due to there being 5 holes.I never like aiming at a green with people at the green.
Second issue is a combination of cross-over holes.As we came off 15 there was a group waiting on 16,a group on the 4th green (oddly they take priority)which is in the middle of the 16th driving area.Then we waited for it all to fill up again,spoiled it at this late stage in the round,reckon we stopped for 25 mins.Not sure what the answer is but it needs looking at!

Without doubt one of the best courses in the area. Always maintained brilliantly with some of the best greens around. It's a bit of a deceptive course as it gives you a chance on a fair few of the holes but others can be a real test, especially if there is a bit of wind whipping up. The 9th is one of the prettiest and toughest holes i've ever played. Highly recommended.

Played this course on 3 separate occasions this year and each time it just seems to get better. Fantastic greens, great variation of holes each one presenting a different challenge, very friendly and helpful staff and members. Can't wait to return.

The club has improved vastly over the last 5 years. The greens are in good condition with extra fairway bunkers around the course making it more challenging. The fairways have been cut narrower and all in all it is a great course for the money.

A very nice club with the course in excellent condition.Was supposed to have played here a few year ago but the snobbery of the members was unbelievable. I had been doing some work at a friends and had turned up, (with a change of clothes to play in in the car) in a pair of clean presentable, canvas shorts and a polo shirt. As I walked across the carpark to meet my brother I was accosted by a member who shouted at me that I wasn't allowed on the course and that they had a dress code. Before I had chance to say anything he again shouted that my dress wasn't suitable and he told me to go to a municipal who might accept how I was dressed. I told him that I had a change of clothing in the car and was told they had a dress code and I didn't meet it. I then told him he'd just cost the club two rounds of golf that day and two memberships as we'd been planning to join. He just huffed and puffed then stomped off.
Thankfully the members on this visit were a lot more friendly and accommodating.

Played this course on the 4th of June. Very surprised after reading some reviews. This course is a great little set up. Some really good holes and views. Greens were in very good condition, well done green staff. Lot of trees so fairways a must, then it gives you a good chance to score well. From the shop, very helpful and the women behind the bar very friendly. Weekend Green Fees very reasonable. Will definitely be back here again ????Reviewer Rating

Pleasant course, only two temporary greens so greenkeepers had done a great job. Had to use mats or move to edge, which was fine, although the fairways were in good nick anyway.
