Great condition considering the amount of rain we had recently

Still a little damp in places, but overall fantastic considering the record amount of rain we’ve had.
Greens and fairways very good.

You will lose a few balls in the many lakes!

Quite a long course, and very challenging.

Not hilly at all, so a lovely walk round too!

One of the best in Blackpool.

Challenging course with great facilities

Fantastic practice facilities and a very challenging course. Be straight off the tee or you’ll find yourself racking up a big score with out of bounds and water everywhere. Pace of play was horrendous though I must say. I was playing solo and I was queuing with two groups on each tee box. 4.5 hours is completely unacceptable.

Decent course but......

Played here on 3rd December. Been looking at playing here for a long time and finally made the trip over.
Overall very impressed considering its December course was in OK condition with no winter restrictions (one of the main reason we played here) fairways could have done with a cut but still in good condition and the greens were not bad either, apart from the odd in repaired pitch mark! However my main gripe here was the pace of play. I wouldn't say it was over busy but by hole 6 there was a 4 ball and 3 2 balls all on one hole either playing or waiting. This then became the story of every hole there after. I don't understand why us golfers have such an issue with letting faster groups through. Having read more reviews pace of play does seem to be an issue here.

Scruffy

Half the greens were hollow tined , fairways hadn’t been cut in a while so there was no definition between fairway and rough.. Disappointing and not worth the money

Very enjoyable round on a Monday afternoon. Hardly anyone else out on the course.
Greens were a little grubby and rough, but fairways in great condition.

Poor greens & slow running

Played here a few times and usually it is in mint conditions and you don’t have to do much waiting around. Played on Friday on a day where it looked like they’ve overbooked their tees. Waiting ages on every tee with a queue in front and behind us. The greens were in awful conditions too, all bumpy and looked dead in a lot of patches, not what you’d expect from this course at all.

Great course, bad greens

The course layout is fantastic. The holes are challenging and exciting. However, the greens were the worst greens I’ve ever played. The ball bobbles and doesn’t hold its line, making it frustrating to hole putts.

Only play in summer

Played on Tuesday in high winds, the greens were not great and course needs attention. Worst we got stuck behind a social group so our two ball took 4 1/2 hours
