Great Course

Lovely course in perfect conditions during the winter. Great value for money, only let down is lack of driving range.

Wonderful course

Considering golf in January after heavy rain the night before. Course in good condition, bit of water here and there but not a problem. Greens in good condition. 3 ball took 3 1/2 hours so pretty good.

Vale Royal

Played the course after days of torrential rain but despite this the course was in great condition. All greens open and only a couple of temp tees.

Will be back and would definitely recommend.

Great value for money

Course in great condition considering the wet weather this summer. Excellent value for money. Fir me the course is better than many other places that are charging nearly double what Vale Royal charges.

Best draining course in Cheshire

This is a superb course in normal conditions, but it is also a superb draining course (sand based land) which allows great play in the winter months. All greens USPGA standard and in play and all fairways a pleasure to play.

Excellent for time of year, really enjoyable round

We were luck after raining on the 1st we were treated to sunshine for the rest of the round, very mild for late October. The greens were great, with some of the holes cut in some challenging places which made it tricky. We noticed the the green surrounds were a bit worn and scruffy on some holes but the greens more than made up for that. Its a good driving course, but could do with one more par 3. Can see why so many take a buggy as there are a few walks between greens and tees, but its not hilly. Highly recommended, great value on a hotdeal.

Lovely course

Course in really good condition, particularly the greens with very challenging pin positions. Fair positioning of hazards.
Smashing clubhouse here with great cask beer available. Unfortunately the kitchen always seems to be closed after we play.
The only downside to the day was the extremely slow play. I put this down to the abundance of TV golf and amateurs emulating the time taken by the Pros.

Lovely course but tough for first time visit

Stunning grounds and really nice golf course with some very challenging holes, made even more challenging by several blind shots (T and fairway shots). Would definitely benefit with a small map on scorecard or on the hole signage a hole layout on the T box for a better visualisation as there are many hidden hazards and blind traps, tough for first time visitors!

A course full of character

So much to enjoy about this course. The fairways were lined with trees but there was plenty of space to hit your Driver. The greens were very good even though they had just been dressed.. l am looking forward to playing the course again.
