Divot problem

This must be the only club in Cheshire that the members do not replace their divots, the first hole was absolutely destroyed and trying to find a position that you could play from without a divot was troublesome.
The divots continued to be an issue throughout, which shocks me considering the price at peak time is £59

Won’t be playing here again

Brilliant

Wonderful course in picturesque part of Cheshire. As the course is built on sandstone, it drains well. Whilst lots of courses in Cheshire and Merseyside are closed due to the really wet conditions, this course was immaculate; in fact, I had hardly any mud on my trousers at the end of the round! Bunkers were all playable and in good condition. Friendly, helpful staff and many congratulations to the grounds staff for maintaining the course in such fine condition. Well worth the money.

Pristine golf course

Finding it difficult to play winter golf? You’ve found an answer at this golf course. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were emasculate. Will come back again and again. Definitely worth the money on the hot deal we had!

Great course in great condition

Vale has always been a great track but given all the rain in July I was expecting soft fairways and greens but the course was in superb condition and the greens aerated and quick. Well worth £30
