Formby fantastic second year running
Just live this course. If it is good enough for Bubba Watson's practice before the Open.... say no more. The course is superb. The tree lined first nine are magnificent ( we all struggled to score well) and the back nine links is so enjoyable ( and a bit easier) I find myself standing looking around sucking in all the views not forgetting the sea view from the 10th and the waves were so loud. One golfer drove 6 hours from south coast to be here it is that good. Staying in the Dormy house to play the slightly shorter 'ladies' course tomorrow. Massive shout out to the lady who organises everything Julie Stong in the office. She is so friendly and can't do enough to help make your stay perfect she even say with us to have morning coffee.....she just sums up the place....so friendly! The £240 4 ball with soup and sandwiches is so good value. Only downside was the course was busy before we went out so round took 4 hours 45. So only just finished on the 18th by the lights of the clubhouse(Round played: Nov 2017 - Score: 93 Handicap: 15.1)

Stunning links golf course
Despite the rain I loved every hole on this gorgeous links course. Set with the backdrop of pine trees, each hole is interesting and challenging in its own right. The greens are some of the best I have ever played on. Club has top class practice facilities, good size changing rooms with showers and food in the bar was good value. The pro shop and starter offered a warm welcome especially being the week of The Open. Can't wait to go back one day!19th July 2017

WOW!What a club, what a welcome, what staff..... from Julie on reception, to Tony at the bar to the extremely helpful waitresses and staff including the exceptionally courteous green staff.
This course was great fun and my first proper links course it was as hard as you may think..... deadly if you dont stay on fairways and the greens were a combination of difficult and fun in judt the right quantity
Highly recommend the dormy accommodation, breakfast and bar food!
This is what golf is supposed to be like everywhere

Incredible -can't wait to go back. it is just a fabulous course. I could not stop getting my ipad out to capture the scenery. wish I took my A game - if you miss the fairway on the first few you are hacking multiple tikmes out of heather. be warned. Standouts are the evelvated tees on 9th and 14th =- just love the 8th par 5. what a tee shot.Reviewer Rating

One the best courses you'll ever play. Didn't play great but still enjoyed it. Greens were so good even though it was October but they look like they would be great all year round.

Our group of six stayed in the Dormy rooms above the clubhouse during mid June this year. We had some misgivings before arriving, having heard stories of stuffy members and very strict rules etc. They could not have been further from the truth, no you don't need long socks, no you don't need jacket and tie in the lounge etc. We were treated like long serving members, given every courtesy and made to feel more welcome than many lesser clubs have in the past. Indeed on our arrival night there was a members BBQ and function to which we were all invited and made very welcome.The breakfast was superb and we were even given a wraped bacon buuty each on the morning of our departure.
The course is one thing that did meet with the reputation it has, in excellent condition, challenging yet fair with wonderful, ironed greens on which putting was a delight.
We have toured as a group for 22 years throughout the UK and this will always remain as one of our favourite visits, hopefully we will make it back again one day.
So my advice to any golfer thinking about playing this magnificent course, go ahead and do it and I'm sure you will be made as welcome as we were.
