I do the buggy every week.

Great course, play most Thursdays. I’m great at the buggy around the course. Greens are firm in the summer months. Buggy’s. Plenty of water for me to buggy past.

The worst I’ve ever played (close the course.)

Had a tee time for 17:08, play this course often enough and usually love playing it. Gentleman at the reception told me #7 was not to be played due to waterlogged areas. Well 6,7,11,12 and 14 were all pretty much underwater on the fairways and around the greens. Left frustrated that it was able to book under the condition, and the fact the gentleman at the reception told me it was only #7. A complete waste of money. I would like a refund. Close the course please so no one has to deal with this.

11,12,13,16 all off limits

Play this course often, shame to find out on the 1st that hole 11,12,13 and 16 were off due to weather.

Was extremely wet out on the course.

Unplayable

Got to the club house and was told that half the course is too wet. I was offered to play the front part twice, which I tried. The ground was waterlogged, and the play was really slow (probably because of the other side being closed). I have played this course over 10 times and it is usually great. I think the problem is that half the course is getting sold off to make way for some adrenaline world, which loses its heritage of being a good course. I was told a while ago that a lot of the members were voting Tory in the last election, as they (tories) will stop it from closing. Let’s be honest, the members deserve to lose it for voting Tory. Never trust a Tory and don’t be ignoramus.

Windy windy round

Came back to this course after a winter round. The greens were great and the condition of the course in general was fantastic. I will be going back again, hopefully the wind is not as sharp as it was today.

Overbooked

Played this course today for the second time. The staff were fine although when I arrived I was told I had to play in a 3 because of the allocation.
The tees were too congested and the pace of play was poor, you could here other golfers venting frustration on the tee boxes because the pace was so slow. I was playing behind a group of 4 and they didn’t let me pass. The greens were soft and really slow/boggy (recent rain). I had a better round last winter than today.

First time played and I’ve already booked to go again.

What a fantastic course. The greens are pristine, I’ve played a few courses in Blackpool and this is by far the best. Great links course with friendly green keepers and members. Booked a round straight after the 18th.

Winter golf expectation

I played here recently and it was really boggy. Balls that went in the middle of the fairway took a long time to find, once they were found they were drilled into the ground because of the softness (wet/winter). I loved the course layout and really want to play this challenging course when the conditions get better.
