Return to old stamping ground

I was a member at Woolton for 40 years and returned after an absence of 8 years to play a nostalgic round with another former member.
It was a memorable day with some good golf and good to see the course structure and layout improved on and well laid out.
Trees grow and that was the main difference between this and former visits especially on holes 8, 9, 12, 16, 17 and 18 which made an already difficult par 4 9th even tougher but probably even better.
Introduction of a water creek hazard on holes 12 and 16 was a good aspect and long overdue as the low point on each hole had also suffered water ponding.
Overall the course for me albeit still short was visually improved quite considerably so a return for me and my boys who honed their skills at Woolton as juniors will be imminent

First Time Playing

Considering all the rain over the past week. The course played very well. Greens were firm, but bobbly. Hard to get a decent roll sometimes.

General layout of the course can cause a slight back log too. A few holes you have to wait for people to clear greens/tee boxes. Wasn’t a major problem for me on the day we played. But can see it being an issue on a busier day. You are also constantly reminded that there is out of bounds everywhere. With it being a tight course. There are a lot of houses lining fairways. I’d stay away from this course if you slice the ball off the tee.

Overall, it’s a decent course. With winter golf fast approaching. It’s definitely a course I’d consider playing again considering how well it played with the heavy rain we’ve had recently.

Water the greens please!

The course generally was in desperate need of water, impossible to hold the greens, and bunkers were baked below the half inch of sand that covered the base resulting in a painful experience to the wrists!
Come on Green staff at least put some water on the greens?

Peaceful but "locked in"!!!!!!

Son and I made a last ditch booking on the day, and tee'd off at 2:10pm. Despite all the rain we've had in the past couple of months, the course was really good, just a bit boggy on the 10th fairway. Only issue we had is when coming off the 16th to cross the road to play the last two holes, the gate had been shut and we were not given a pass code to get thro it! Cue dismantling golf bags from buggies, and literally squeezing thro thick hedges to get out! Never happened before when we played here, and it was still light, and we finished the last two holes in daylight as well. So the moral of the story if playing here late in the day is make sure you ask for the combination for the gate unless your a) thin or b) pole vaulters!

Lovely course

A beautiful course well maintained and in all round excellent condition from tee to greens I could not fault this course.
The pace of play was a bit slow but it was a Wednesday morning.
Summary if you want a nice friendly course with no snobbery this is worth a look

Good Condition for time of year

Played at 2pm course was very quiet so got round in a speedy time. Considering time of year greens were great fast and true, fairways and tees good also. Short course were you need to make your score on the front 9, full of interesting holes well protected small greens.
No practice facilities, leaves are an issue on some holes and not the friendliest members.
