A great course. Not long but very challenging with an interesting mix of holes. Some of the holes from 6 to 15 are superb with some fantastic scenery. Great condition and a really fun round of golf.

Good course, ruined by needless high rough everwhere

Having played Prestwich a few times over the last 10 years, the recent course alterations & new holes have matured well and it has become a very challenging test of golf with severe greens and tight fairways. It was a joy to play here until recently where rough has been grown knee high in many areas, in front of greens & alongside the fairways, resulting in lost balls & high levels of frustration. If you are a higher handicapper I would avoid this course

What a course!

Course was a tough one. Really short however there was constant doglegs, constant undulations and really tough greens. There was lots of construction work going on around the course when I visited but I guess that’s not a concern. The course was very hilly but they didn’t offer golf buggies, which was a but of a pain but not a major issue.

Hilly

Played this course today. The course was in great condition. Short course but by no means easy. Very tight fairways and hilly. Well maintained fairways and greens. You can get round this course with no driver in your bag and still shoot a low score. Only issue I found was navigating too the next tee and a few holes, but help from green keepers and other players sorted that out. I will definitely be playing here again.

Decent course

Very enjoyable course. When you’re looking for a course that’s looked after, well treated and value for money, this is it. Great set up. Yes some of the greens and tees are close together but when you’re on the course that does not matter.
Some testing holes. No wide fairways, so it’s not the easiest. But you’ll enjoy it, without a doubt.

Short but no push over

Great little course.
Tight holes and greens like glass.
Had a great time, lost 5 balls and still had fun.
Don’t turn up thinking it’s short and easy. What it lacks in distance, it makes up for in fast greens and variation of holes. You have to think about what you’re doing.
Unlike most other courses driver is probably too much club on most holes.
I would definitely recommend.

Fun short course

Short course but plenty of difficulty on approaches, loads of variety and some very tough greens on new holes. Forgiving for the not too regular player and very quick pace of play. Fun round, 18th hole a highlight.

Unexpected lovely course

Course was easy to find, just 5 mins from the M60. I really liked the layout and condition of the course and although it’s not a long course, it’s quite hilly and challenging but fair for players of limited ability like me.

Tremendous Playing Experience

Booked on line , met by welcoming staff in the clubhouse, helpful and knowledgeable , Perfect playing condition to be fair but equalled by a beautifully kept and challenging 18 holes of pure joy .A real quality round and what was really noticeable was how friendly and upbeat everybody was ,superb putting greens, a real well thought out course layout, good signage, and in all honestly cannot wait to play it all over again .I had heard mixed reviews in the lead up to booking this round, absolute nonsense and iv played em all, from Tytherington to Worsley to Wilmslow to Shrigkey Hall,! This Prestwich Course I tell you is bang on point , no doubt about it ! Well done indeed

Terrible

Booked a game of golf with two other friends which was cancelled by the course only three hours before play via E Mail.Phoned the club and spoke to the Profesional who stated that unless I paid the club an extra £11.00 each we couldn’t play even though the course was very quiet.I explained that I could not contact my two other playing partners as they didn’t live near me at short notice.Wasn’t interested and couldn’t wait for me to end the call .Terrible customer service and wouldn’t want anybody else to be treated like this.

Golf club cancelled at very short notice

Received E Mail from Golf Now that my booking had been cancelled on the morning that we were due to play .This was only three hours notice , phoned golf club and spoke to Profesional who was very unhelpful and told me I would have to pay an extra £11.00 each if we wanted to play.In the meantime I go back on the Golf Now website who were trying to resell the booking at an increased price this is disgusting and the Profesional was unhelpful as I couldn’t contact my playing partners .I think this is disgraceful at such short notice and the golf club couldn’t care less terrible.I hope somebody will read this at the club and respond but I doubt very much.

Play it, it'll test you no matter what your handicap is.

They've spent a lot of money redesigning this course and have a few new holes too with new fairways and greens. It is definitely not a boring course! You'll look at the yardage and think "it's too short", but take your handicap here and see how you go .... the greens are superb... some of them look like an angel, but play like a devil... go on, try them! As for the drainage, a winter of rain and 2 days of throwing it down before we played.... and it was brilliant! Hats off to the green staff and those who make decisions to invest in making the course into playing conditions like this.
