Well worth a visit

Greens in good nick and at a good speed. The course was more than fair and although I didn’t do it justice I enjoyed the corporate day. Well organised with great hosts.

played the course in November 2021 wet day but the course was in great condition, greens running true and hard to read too many 3 putts on the card, great back drop to the 18th would not look out of place at the open, pro shop very small not very well stocked, practice facilities, no drive range as such but at the back of the building you can hit some balls off grass irons max, practice green is good, club house is what lets it down, stunning building the abbey and the clubhouse is stuck in the dinkiest room in it such a let down compared to other clubs around but as for the golf loved it, go a pub for a drink and better experience after your round unless its a sunny day then the outside terrace is a must

Beautiful condition

Course was in beautiful condition it’s a shame the clubhouse spaces and customer guidance is very poor and disjointed and very poorly maintained yet the course is outstanding so I guess you can’t have everything

Superb

VRA is a superb course, always in great condition & a fair test of golf.
The greens are superb, fast & true, bunkers good & the rough testing without being extreme.
You always get a great welcome from Ben & the team of pro's.
Look out for the challenging 7th, interesting 12th & the long sweeping 18th.
A must play course if you're in the area.

Outstanding

After a full days rain the day before, the course was in outstanding condition.
Easily the best greens I've played on this year.
It's a great layout, with superb views of the Abbey & 'must play' if you're in the area.

Vale Royal is a lovely track, and will get better with time given it still needs time to establish and mature. Stands up well to rain with good drainage. It doesn’t come close to the quality on offer at nearby Sandiway or Delamere; but those 2 aside, it’s as good as any other course in Cheshire
