Staining Lodge Golf Course

Very nice indeed - in fantastic condition, great driving range and friendly staff.

Not played this course for a few years and I can safely say I won't be going back anytime soon.. There's no way this course should even be open, nevermind charging nearly £20.00!! No difference between the rough and the fairway and you will be lucky to even find your ball if you hit the fairway.. We had to walk off after 9 holes because the conditions were ridiculous..

First time playing here, didn't know what to expect, especially with the rainfall in the past week. However, the course was really well presented and maintained and definitely well looked after, a few boggy patches but that's understandable.

Layout was tricky, some open holes, dog legs, tricky par3's. Overall a good test of golf on a really nice layout.

Only downside for me was two groups in front were both super (Mulligan's every hole) slow and wouldn't let me through (solo player).

I have played this course since it fist open as a 9 hole now 18 hole and just gets better

Friendly staff
Good amenities in-spite of Coronavirus available
Great course layout
Great condition we found the course in
Very much affordable given all of the above!
I’ll be back!

Well worth a visit. Great course, well kept fairways and greens under the current lockdown situation. 100% recommend.

Nice course with plenty of challenging holes, very good value for money, was tricky with the wind and rain but definitely worth a visit, I’ll definitely go back

Not a bad course and value for money if you can get a cheap deal. Some of the greens on the back 9 let this course down. It’s open and forgiving and worth a visit

The course was in lovely condition and I thoroughly enjoyed playing there again

Visited this course many times over the years when staying in Blackpool. Well kept course, some slight hills with views over countryside. Not too busy after morning rounds so we were on our own on a very sunny day midweek. Lovely experience. Staff in bar friendly and food very good. Outside terrace overlooking course.

Played this course many times in all conditions over the years. Today was the best ive seen it, absolutely superb.
It has been a little worse for wear in recent times: long grass on fairways greens unkempt etc but got there today and was so pleasantly suprised i had to write a review as it does get bad press. A credit to the groundstaff. Will be back more often.

Grass was long for fairways and greens, also no yardage markers, so didn’t have a clue on distance to pin....apart from that ok

Staining Lodge has the potential to be a really nice course but it is way off. The grass on the fairways is too long in places, you can’t distinguish between fairways and the first cut in others - the first cut is more like the rough on some holes. Losing balls on the fairway is just ridiculous. I’ve played at much better courses where, width-wise, they have quite forgiving fairways. However, here some of the fairways are far too narrow and there’s really no need for it. The potential weather conditions on the Fylde Coast already make this a challenging course. £21 for a round on a freezing, windy Sunday afternoon is far too much as well. I can’t fault the staff there but it would appear that the Lodge itself and the business that creates is more of a concern than the course itself. There are some good holes here that, with a bit of investment and course design could be so much better.

I’ve always enjoyed playing here, friendly staff, fantastic value for money. £13.
Unfortunately today the course looked a bit tatty, compared to the several other times I’ve played here.
Can’t wait to see it back to its best.

Played the course on Sunday 24 March it was like playing on a farmers field you could not tell the fairways from the rough so it was easy to loose your ball on the so called fairway. All this for 21 pound each I will never play there again.

Played the course yesterday and was very disappointed in the condition. They still let buggies on and they’re cutting the course apart! The fairway to rough has no definition at all! You can hit a shot straight down the middle and you can still lose your ball because it will just plug into the marshy land or it will get lost in the long grass that is supposed to be fairway.
I have played Staining on numerous occasions and this is the worst I have ever seen it. I won’t be coming back anytime soon.
