What the club says: Reddish Vale Golf Club was designed in 1912 by Dr Alister MacKenzie. Every hole is a challenge and despite being a short course in this day and age (only 6086 yards long) it will take the ingenuity of all who play it, professional and amateur alike. The enthusiast will marvel at the almost magical use of the landscape and the way the natural contours and valleys are brought into play. Do not forget the River Tame which meanders its way round 7 of the holes offering a watery grave for the errant golf ball.

Belting course

First time here and what a delight,Well defined fairways and fast tricky greens, The 18th is a little steep but it adds character speaking to members we met who were friendly and helpful they may be altering it ,I hope not. I definitely recommend R.V and look forward to playing this fantastic course again.

Course in great condition
Very tough
Greens are very good and true.
Clubhouse looks great
Food well priced and well worth visiting
Very helpful pro

But...
First few holes, we found dangerous.
We nearly got hit twice, very uncomfortable..

Low handicappers, this probably wouldnt effect...

We just felt this lets a very good course & challenge down

Definitely worth playing, but be careful ????

Urban Augusta

After playing here it makes a lot of other courses seem like fields with flags in. We had some trouble finding the way in so had a chance to take in the inauspicious surroundings. It’s amazing to find such a fantastic course in an urban area. The first five holes are great and then you move to the sixth and the plot of land just opens out in front of you. It’s incredible how the course threads through and integrates with the landscape. The good doctor was truly a genius of course design. I would join tomorrow if I was a little more local.

A Proper Golf Course

Can?t believe I?ve never played here before. Fabulous course- Plotted between the River which seems to be on every hole after the first 3. Lots of history- The Mackenzie trail a huge pull to play. Can?t wait to return when I doubt I?ll birdie the last again as I did first time.
Staff in Pro-shop very welcoming and helpful..

Real hidden gem, would never think you are in the middle of town as you wonder round the river surrounded by trees. Mckenzie design is fantastic with no two holes the same. Position off the tee is crucial if you want to score well. Lots of opportunities if you put the ball on the right place. Some fantastic looking holes with the 14th and 16th along the riverbank particular favourites. The 18th is the only hole that is a let down and the climb back up to the club house is extreme but don't let that put you off! Greens were fantastic, quick and true, the tee boxes were a bit scruffy and have suffered from the dry weather but other than that the course was is great condition. A true hidden gem that I would like to keep a secret!

Fantastic Course

Booked this course for our society as told it was a great course.Its only a short course but because of the nature of each hole it feels a lot longer.Every single hole is interesting and i will definitely be going back again.

Fantastic course

This is a Mackenzie course and what a pleasure it is to play here. The pro was very helpful and gave me all the information I needed. The top 5 holes are a nice start into a tougher rest of the course. The design is amazing with lots to look at, think about and play shots around or over. The greens were very firm but the ball rolled really well. The fairways are comfortable on your feet. The rough is very deep, not only would you lose a ball, you could lose a bag and trolley. There are a couple of longer walks from one green to the next tee (5th to 6th, 10th to 11th, 16th to 17th). The last few holes are tricky and you could drop shots even playing good golf. The 18th is a very steep hill to finish. This is not a course for novice golfers.

A challenging course, if not a little confusing in the middle section. The course was wet from constant rain, yet it played reasonably well. The eighteenth nearly did my golfing partner in walking up that "Cardiac hill".

Played o Wednesday 19th October after two days of hideous rain. The course was still in good condition and had drained incredibly well. Super track apart from the 18th which is a poor golf hole but don't let this put you off. Best value for money golf we have ever had and if you ever find a more obliging and friendly pro please let me know. Will definitely play again

Went there last week on our Captain's day out from my club. A mixed bag, tough track, not for a short player with a tendency to hook. A number of bunkers were GUR,( shouldn't they be "out of play"?) there are a lot of them though. Tees poor but greens good. Some stand out holes, the 6th is one. I play off 19 and I really enjoyed the challenge, but it was a 4bbb stableford and my partner off 10 played rather well and I was OK, and we won. Would I go back? Probably, but not with my pub society, some of them would be in the bar after 5.
