Two different 9's. You start on card holes 10-18 which are generally wide and flat with a few irritating (i.e strategic) trees in fairways. The other 9 holes (1-9 on the card) meander up and down through a smart looking housing complex. Fairway fringes could do with a mow, some greens are patchy and signage to tees needs improvement These though are minor criticisms. It's a good course and well worth playing if not quite up to the level of near neighbours (both Padeswood courses and Hawarden) in my personal opinion.

Relatively short, but tricky with slopes, hills and blind tee shots to negotiate. Easy to see why it is highly rated. May need to play a few rounds to know the course and have any chance of playing to handicap.

Also a word for the very friendly staff and members. Overall? Highly recommended.

Generally wide tree lined course, but you need to hit the ball straight as there is plenty of water to the sides (and sometimes in the middle) of the fairways. Can be punitive and that makes it a challenge to score well - or even close to well! Recommended as a good test of Golf.

You need a satnav to find it, but worth it. A course to think your way round and probably play at least 3 times before you score well. In great condition and staff and members very friendly. Some long walks between holes and signposting needs improvement (I got lost twice) but minor criticism. It is a lovely rural venue and in short both this course and it's near neighbour (Old Padeswood) are definitely worth playing.

The course is a hidden gem and in excellent condition from tee to green. The first 5 holes and last 2 holes are undulating (especially the magnificent par 5 17th hole) whilst the rest of the course is mainly parkland but with wide fairways. Whilst tricky in parts overall it is not too difficult and on a good day you could score well. Highly recommended.

Yes, the greens are poor - in some cases very poor - and yes some tees are being worked on. The rest of the course is good however and it is a proper golf challenge with a wide of variety of holes. In 12 months ( as long as the work is completed) it will be very good. Till then, accept it for what it is and enjoy the spectacular views of the estuary.

First time playing Hawarden, but impressed. You have to think your way round and there are plenty of challenging holes and strategic bunkers. Would hope to score better 2nd time but doubt I would and suspect it may take a few more times to understand the course. It's that good and clever.

Slight concern that in August it was a bit boggy underfoot in parts (and yes I know we have had recent heavy storms). Ought not be though this time of the year, and maybe the course or holes are closed a fair bit during Winter. To be fair I'm only speculating this may be the case.

Let's deal with the problem areas first. The Greens ( as others have pointed out ) are very poor and the signage between holes requires significant improvement - easy to get lost. However, this is a very lovely course with a great variety of holes up, down, wide and narrow. On a hill above Frodsham it has spectacular views of the estuary and the Wirral and Liverpool beyond.

Basically the course is 'work in progress'. Extensive work is being done both on the course and in the building of a new clubhouse. This will take time, but when (if) completed Frodsham will be a course to be reckoned with. Till then, accept that the Greens are **** and just enjoy the course for the rest of the game. Oh yes, a very friendly bloke in the hut that currently passes for the clubhouse / reception.

Good course with a wide variety of different holes both up and down hill. The price is worth it for the 18th tee alone. It is a proper Golf Course and therefore costs a little bit more but is definitely worth it and I will return.
