a little disappointed

played this course many times over the years but would have to say i was dissapointed this time!
fairways and greens were in excellent condition as always but the first cut of rough was far to long searching for balls that shouldnt be lost slowed the game right up, also it was very slow going took 5 & 1/2 hours to complete and we were waiting on every tee box
hopefully just a one off

Vale Royal Abbey Golf Club

Great all round. From the proshop to leaving the course I couldn't fault anything. Proshop staff were really friendly and helpful. The Course itself was in great condition and well looked after. Beautiful surroundings in the heart of Cheshire. Definitely worth playing no matter the cost.

A good day out.

Played as a 2 ball with my wife on a sunny day sandwiched between 2 x 3 balls.
Pace of play was good overall once away from the 2nd and 3rd blind shot holes.
Course is your typical 90s design with large bunkers. Greens were true and a good pace. Fairways well looked after.
Par 4 variations from 280 yard short to 450 yard long gives plenty of food for thought when plotting your way around.
All in all a very good days golf.

A Gem

Excellent condition for Feb. No temps greens excellent. Quite a few blind shots so a course planner advised. Well mapped out hole to hole and tee boxes excellent. Nice touch on par 3''s with marker board and marker if your in a nearest the pin competition. Every hole has clean ball facility. Deffo back in summer.

Great Course

Played in Feb 17.
Considering the weather in the previous weeks, No winter tees and no winter greens.
Greens are in great condition for the time of the year.
Fairways in great condition.
A nice treat. A hidden treasure.
Would play again.
Played with a couple of members who guided me on the holes and how to approach which very helpful otherwise there was no chance of scoring well.
Some holes are tricky and challenging. A course guide is recommended if playing for the first time. A GPS watch is not enough.

Best Iv played!!

Fantastic course *****

I played this course in October and I must say the greens were the best Iv played all season second to Wimslow GC!!

Finding the next tee box can be tricky and isn't well sign posted but that's my only problem with the course. Everything else is perfect including the staff who are very welcoming!

Excellent

I don't normally leave reviews but for this course, it well deserves it.
Driving up to the manor house in its surroundings can be a little daunting, however, the golf pro was extremely friendly and engaging which put us at ease.
Course was just as described. A fair amount of tough, moderate and "easy" holes allowed for a great balance.
Course was in superb condition and we will definitely be back!!

Wonderful layout

This was the second time played and just as enjoyable . Lovely course with some very challenging holes . We walked around and towards the end felt the effects of its length - clocking around 6.5 miles in total . Condition was excellent with outstanding greens and some great design features . Food was also good and prices reasonable .
Overall a really nice experience and one which will be repeated .
