Lovely course. Greens were a bit patchy which is unusual for the course. Plays quite long but ahold challenge.

wasted journey

if you have to travel any sort of distance to play golf here dont bother, we had a 90 mile round trip only to be told when we arrived that the course was closed, as of yet i still havent recieved any sort communication to tell me this, considering it says on its website that it is playable all year it clearly isnt and wont even give its customers the common curtesy of any sort of notification to avoid travelling.
all we recieved was a quick verbal sorry from the lad in the pro shop, no offer of any compensation for our wasted journey!! also after i emailed to complain they couldnt even be bothered to reply to that.

Good challenge, greens battered by tourists

Challenging but fair test of golf... would love to play again in more 'normal' times.

Typical championship layout, reasonably long with well placed hazards and undulating greens. Can imagine this is usually a fabulous place to play golf, however, the state of the greens unfortunately ainted our experience on this occasion. At least 6 of the 18 greens were memorable for the vast amount of damage seemingly caused by unrepaired pitch marks which made finding a line for a true roll impossible. Even on the better greens we found the pace to be slower than one would expect of a course that proudly boasts its presence on various professional tours.

Our suspicion, playing in late August 2020 is that the course has been battered by more play than usual during COVID and unfortunately tourists are less likely to take ownership for repairing pitch marks than private club members.

Otherwise the facilities are very good, particularly the driving range and there is a lovely outdoor seating area next to the 18th green. Didn't try the 9 hole course but looked decent.

I will be returning to see how the course fares in normal times as I can't believe the greens are usually in this state.

Resort course that could be better

The layout is good, the greens are too hard (as in can't be held). Probably a great course to play if you can smash it miles. (Three of the Par 5's are 500 plus, one is 558. Three par 4's are well over 400. The 15th is 446 up the hill)
A lot of the holes (Especially the 5's) don't give much by way of risk / reward so the best you'll get is par.
The tee boxes could do with a lot of work being done.
The resort is set up for parties. It's big and corporate.

The service in the bar and food area is abysmal. Just terrible, no staff care about it. The course is fantastic though.

We played a lovely golf course today at Formby Hall. The weather was not too good as it rained quite a bit but that didn't spoil our enjoyment of the day. Would definitely play the course again and hopefully the weather would be better.
