Much improved

Excellent course, have played a handful of times in the past but not for 4 years. Dont know if we just got lucky this time but in the past was always way overcrowded, so much better this time. Course has improved too, superb condition. Staff very welcoming. Overall great experience.

great course

played many times, it is a great fairly challenging course but suitable for all. very well maintained at the moment, this is one area that has historically let it down but this year, 2022, it has been fantastic. will be a big loss if it does get closed down as proposed.

Gold star

Lovely course. Played once before and this time just as good. Not long but fairly hilly and rocky. Some tight fairways, blind tee shots. Very enjoyable, apart from rain, cant win them all!

Better than ever

Played this course many times in all conditions over the years. Today was the best ive seen it, absolutely superb.
It has been a little worse for wear in recent times: long grass on fairways greens unkempt etc but got there today and was so pleasantly suprised i had to write a review as it does get bad press. A credit to the groundstaff. Will be back more often.

Overcrowded

A decent course completely ruined by club greed. Pack as many punters on as possible and leave them to get on with it. Ridiculous. Won't be going back.

Dull

Was looking forward to playing green drive and it started quite well. The guy who met us on arrival could not have been friendlier or more helpful. Then we got in the course. Without question the flattest course I've played on and to be fair it was in excellent condition, but, even on a warm sunny afternoon it was relentlessly dull. Hole after hole after hole flat straight featureless. Even on the journey home I struggled to differentiate one from another. Boring. Couple that with several extraordianiraly slow 4 balls and some old school snobbish elitism that I thought died out in the 80's and it made for a very disappointing day that I wouldn't want to repeat.

Ok for the price

Altrincham is a nice course. Well laid out and pretty good condition. But..... Facilities are woeful, finding the "clubhouse" yeah good luck. I have played here before and it's all changed since then . The course has reverted to its original layout, no bad thing. The staff in the pro shop , I say staff, one guy could not have been less interested. Ok it's a municipal course and at £10 a pop I guess you get what you pay for, and at that it is adequate. Overly busy, too many allowed on quick succession, most of whom were hackers out for a jolly up. Teenagers tearing about in buggies that sort of thing. Lot of debris around the course too ; beer bottles food wrappers.
Doubt I'd go back to be honest.

Best I've played in a long while

on holiday in the area this was the nearest course. Result.
What an absolute gem. Firstly the staff, in particular John in the pro shop, could not do enough for us. Don't know if that is typical of the area but what a refreshing change. To extent of lending one of us some clubs! Although he may not thank me for including that.
On to the course we were told was not long but a little challenging. No kidding. Wow. Stunning layout all the way round, some viciously sideways sloping fairways. Whole course was in superb condition. Most holes are a visual treat in particular two par 3's the 13th and 15th delightful.
As two mid to high handi clappers we probably didn't do the place justice but we had a fabulous day trying.
Recommend to anyone. Thanks again to the staff.
