Tough test

In windy rainy conditions this course is a real test. Club selection and strategy has to be perfect to score well here.

Appalling Condition

Played over 3 days on the European Disabled tour this week, I went out on the first day thinking WOW Tommy Fleetwood’s home club but was bitterly disappointed! The first day we were having to shoot from fairways that were bare and I was needing deliberately aim for rough to get grass beneath the ball. I hadn’t been in a bunker all round and the greens seemed highly inconsistent, speed and how true they were on a line.

Day 2 we were given a pick and place for proffered lies on fairways after the referees assessed the course, I finally went in to a bunker on 17 on day 2 and genuinely hurt myself! I have suffered spinal and neck injuries and when hitting from the bunker it was like contacting with concrete which ended with excruciating spinal pain, neck and fierce nerve pain and had the same issue in two more bunkers on day 3. Also on day 1; one of the gross competitors got away with no injury luckily after the top of one of the bunkers caved in underneath him, we were then on day 2&3 having to tester bunkers to see if they were structurally safe to enter, if not a free drop was in play.

2 players had to withdraw due to the hotel receptionist having given away all easy access rooms so the competitors had to with draw and drive back home… Cambridge to Liverpool and back again with a practice round in between is a long day! 8am-1:30am

Needless to say I and many/most of the other competitors were bitterly disappointed… yes the course was a challenge but the condition was woeful, they splash Tommy’s name all over the place but I’ve played better municipal council courses and it’s a shame because I like most were saying this place could be an unbelievable venue! Saying all this the staff were genuinely nice and helpful and credit to them in that aspect.

Over priced and in poor condition.

The golf course is very expensive for a poorly maintained links. Though the greens were generally good the fairways and rough were a bit ropey and the bunkers are in a bad state for a supposedly good course. There are a lot of areas around the course that need cleaning up that improve it appearance.

Stunning parkland course

Lovely course, front 9 is more payable than the back, which has a few very long holes which can be a bit of a slog!! Overall though, very enjoyable and challenging.

Waited half an hour to get served for a drink, then only had bottles as there was no drft beers. Bottles very expensive for the smallest size.

Pace of place very slow, no monitoring by any marshals, need to improve
