These are the worst green I have ever seen terrible!!! They even had Mushrooms growing on them. This is a real shame as the club staff are really friendly and the course would be a diamond if the upkeep was maintained 9 holes didnt have flags 4th hole had a red flag 7th had a bamboo cane with a blue rag!!!! very dissapointing. Apparantly about to change owners so would wait for that to happen before going again.

This course is probably the worst I have played at the fairways are like thick rough and the greens are dreadful. On three of the holes they had pond weeds as flags and on one a plank of wood. I think they pay more for the rakes in the bunkers than anything else. Certainally wouldn't reccomend this to anyone. The best part of the golf club is getting back in your car at the end. However if it was bought by someone it would be a brilliant course.

Played on 13th June in charity event.
Greens extreemly poor.
Changing facilities not very good.
In my opinion if the greens could be improved not a bad course some challenging water features.

Scenic course like inland links. Course suffering effects wet weather. Greens not good, fairways very wet. Waiting for spring weather to bring it back to its norm

As a greenkeeper on a high end course in Cheshire (and Mollington Grange Golf Club around the time of opening) and a keen mid handicapper I can review this course from two angles.
The layout of Mollington is very good. There are some short par threes/fours, a very long (621 yrd) par five and some regular length holes. There are also some interesting holes not often seen on a course of this level (1st, 10th, 12th, 16th and 17th). The course is exposed and open to the elements... the wind is almost like that experienced on a links course, which I like! It is rare to find your ball on flat ground, albeit on the fairway or otherwise. I find the course challenging but also see the possibility of achieving a good score; which is a good recipe for a course worth signing up for membership.
But at the time of writing this review there is lots of room for improvement with regard to the maintenance schedule and attention to detail. Admittedly, most of our games were played soon after the annual greens maintenance so "bobbly" and soft greens were expected. Though despite this recognition I found the greens very tough to play. Whether I played onto the green with a SW or 6 iron huge pitch marks were created, leaving my ball inches away from the place of landing. They were also playing quite slow; even before the annual greens renovation commenced... in my experience id say they were stimping at around 7-8ft. When the holes had been pulled from the green they had been extracted with such speed a raised area around the cup created "volcanoes" for holes. They seem to be rarely trimmed/repaired/moved. Rough, semi and fairways seem like they need mowing more regular and the overall appearance of tees and course furniture is poor. Bins are open, allowing litter to blow around. The land around the clubhouse is also somewhat unsightly.
The course is under new management and had reopened 18 months prior to our rounds. As soon as the course furniture is updated and standardised throughout, the pathways are relayed (or in some cases removed completely), the tees tidied up and the maintenance schedule fine tuned this will be a very welcoming course.
Excellent layout, distance, difficulty and location.
Just a bit scruffy at the moment.
Staff welcoming and friendly.

Played here on September 8th. We really enjoyed the course which has an interesting layout. Conditions were fine although one or two fairways were in need of cutting. Could tell that the course had been expensively built and current owners are well on way to restoring it to its former glory. We had a meal booked between rounds as we were there for 27 holes. Unfortunately, the meal arrangements were slightly chaotic but this didn't spoil the day.
