So Welcoming and all players on the course were polite

The assistant pro, a young lad but very efficient and friendly young man made us feel welcome and took me through a couple of need to know info on the course layout which is where my slightly negative comment comes from. The walk from the fifth green to the sixth tee puts you in real danger where you have to cross a fairway of a long par four which is blind to yourself so you don’t know if anyone is playing the hole as you could end up with a pro v1 in the cheek. The other other negative was the number of stones in bunkers which I managed to avoid until the last. The course played beautifully and quick greens and very hole having a different feel it was a fantastic round which is undulating but you don’t really feel it. Would recommend and we will be back.

Wike Ridge course

A great course with numerous well placed water hazards. A great layout with both short par fours to long par fives which makes you think and not just a “get the driver out” course. Bunkers need a lot of work but to be fair the repair work on them was already underway.

A thinking course

The course was in great condition and not a straight putt in sight. The greens were a joy to play on but not that quick but that wasn’t an issue as it would have made some putts terrifying. You have to play yardage golf and pick your lay ups well. The big stick landing zones are tight and dangerous where as taking a little off it will leave a more sensible approach that is always still achievable to reach in two. Not many par threes but the ones that are there are very appealing to look at and play. Would highly recommend with price and super value for money and not a difficult walk at all although a couple of hills within the course but you don’t feel them.

Friendly and welcoming

The staff couldn’t be more accommodating and approachable as well as staff giving lessons on the putting green to some less fortunate people which warmed the heart and at the same time didn’t affect our warm up on the putting green. The course was flat and not too long but nearly every hole made you thing about how to play the hole. I haven’t played an 18 hole course before that I had to think about pulling the big stick out on a par 4/5. Each hole had a level of difficulty which made for a great game. The green were faultless with a lovely true role and many with some big undulating contours. It is not a big bucks course and accepts all levels of golfer. I will definitely be back there soon. Thanks to all for making the visit such an enjoyable one.

Friendly and very welcoming

Staff on arrival were so friendly and welcoming. Didn’t feel like an outsider at all and offered up more than enough tips and advice about the course which was in superb condition with the only negative was they had suffered some sort of infection on some parts of the greens but were well on the way through the repair process and although some parts of some greens had sand on them ALL putts rolled true and they were very quick as well. I would like to thank the pro and pro shop staff for their welcoming and friendly behaviour towards us. Would not hesitate to play again and again. The course is challenging but fair course with some great par threes and apart from a four hole up and down stretch is a fairly subtle walk. A* every single day of the week.

Poor greens

The layout and course including condition is a pleasure to play, can get quite hilly at times but your mind is taken off that by having to manage your way round a good thinking golfers dream. The staff in the bar and pro shop were very pleasant and welcoming. The only down side but a very big and importantly disappointing fact is the state of the greens. This time of year you expect spiked greens and that’s fine but the amount of small divots and bare chunks on the greens did not leave one rolling putt all round. The pace of the greens were like lightening but at times you could have turned 45 degrees and still ended up on the correct line after the divots had changed the trajectory. It left a sour taste in what was otherwise a good day.
