Nice course worth playing
Second time playing Walmersley, first time was some 15 yrs ago. Not changed much from memory but in much better condition. Friendly welcome by Ken in the pro shop. First tee a good opener, par 3 downhill with great views from the tee. The superb views continue all the way round. Course in great condition, lots of grass on the fairways which I don't mind. Greens mint rolled really well. A little hilly in places but nothing too strenuous. A couple of short doglegs to catch you out where position is key. Nice welcome and pint in clubhouse to finish, as Arnie says, I'll be back.Reviewer Rating

Fabulous course
With everything from blind holes to sharp dog legs, challenging par three's, plus extremely picturesque views around many of the points on the course, It's a golf course to think your way round, whilst enjoying the beautiful scenery even if you're having a bad golf day. Thankfully I had a great day and for once, the weather was fine. If you're in the area, play this course, you won't be disappointed.(Round played: Sep 2019 - Score: 79 Handicap: 12.4)

Enjoyable days Golf
Just played in a Team competition here! Despite comments about the course conditions during,what was unprecedented period of drought,the course was in good condition.The greens rolled ok and looked to be getting back to how I had previously enjoyed them. This is echoed on the clubs Facebook page and is testament to the ground staff .Some of the members had shared some photos of the greens at their worst.They have obviously worked hard to get them back to the condition we played upon today! Well done!Reviewer Rating

After playing this course several times over the last few months it seems to be getting better and better every week. I couldn’t recommend this course highly enough. From the pro shop to the staff in the clubhouse,green staff and the members are all friendly and welcoming. The course is in a great condition and will definitely be playing again very soon.

Do not visit this course for at least the next 18 months. The greens are the worst I have ever seen. We heard every excuse for them on the day but they are diseased. At no point before we played this course did they advise us of the poor condition and we booked it in January. 27 of us from the work golf society played it and it is the worst course conditions we have ever played in 25 years of the golf society. We were hoodwinked and they offered no reductions in green fees only a free 4 ball for the future. None of us would go back even if they paid us! When we arrived back at the clubhouse after playing a full day of 27 holes we found out that both showers had signs on them to say they were out of order.????Reviewer Rating
