Winter golfing

Played here on Saturday the 10th of Feb.

Very wet underfoot but to be expected considering all the rain, credit where credit is due the ground staff have done well to keep it playable.
Little rough round the edge greens abit fluffy but again it’s winter so didn’t expect much more. Course is playing a lot shorter than it would do in the summer but made aware of this as soon as you arrive 12/13 are closed totally.
Overall not bad for time of year. Course is a little samey up/down/up. I am sure it would certainly play quite well in the summer.
I’d say it the perfect place to play if your getting into golf and want to improve. It’s not bad but nothing really memorable stands out. Give it a go and see for yourself.

Decent little course

Played here late January,

Yes could be critical of it being slightly wet under foot, bumpy greens but what do you expect this time of year. I will add the fairways in the most part we’re very good yes again maybe a little longer than you would like but it’s winter golf.
No mats required and 17 of the 18 green were on summer greens.
Booked on a hot deal and to be honest can’t complain at all. Good lay out and I imagine in the summer months it’s a great place to go and have a round.

Baildon 👌🏻

What an absolute gem!!

Played here Thursday 11th of January, cold misty and some drizzle just added to the whole experience. Course was in fantastic condition given recent weather, some wet areas but no plugged balls on the fairway which is always a bonus this time of year. Greens were in very good condition good speed and firm. Only one temp green on the day of play which was the 4th.

It may not be the longest course ever but once the breeze gets up Baildon does show its teeth, hitting a pw from 75 yards into breeze hasn’t don’t my ego any favours but what a great day even if it was a little grey on the day.

I’d imagine playing this in summer would be a totally different experience and I will certainly be make the effort to get back here once the summer arrives

Don’t be fooled by the low rating.

Travelled over to Formby as they have very limited winter restrictions. (With a little hesitation due to the apps rating)

Course - the 9th was on a winter green, made into a par 3 about 160 yards.

Found the course in good condition given all the weather recently could be more critical but it’s winter, all the greens bar the 9th were in good condition and a decent pace probably what we would have expected for winter but ran smooth.

Fairways firm enough you didn’t spend to much time looking for a plugged ball,

Can imagine in summer it’s an absolute belting course.

Getting better and better

Play here regular, always good to play, the course is getting better and better the only niggle and it is only a niggle, is that some groups don't allow you through. Which can make for a very long round. There are plenty of opportunities to allow quicker players/groups though but "some groups" just don't. Only thing that let's it down

Fore and a half hours

Pace of play - on the day we played this was poor at best, every tee shot, every shot we had to wait, we waited upto 25 mins on a couple of tees, this might be acceptable to some, no quicker groups got let through groups looking for balls that were clearly lost for far too long, we must have just got caught on a bad day, I guess Enough of the bad onto the good, the course overall was in great nick, fairways nice and lush, greens very receptive and ran true, tricky little course to navigate round, the par 3s are a real test you really have to trust your club selection.
Day spoilt with the overall pace of play but I guess that's golf life sometimes

Mid April

Played here the other weekend, your in for a treat.
The putting green was in fantastic condition (little tip the course greens are as good)
Overall course condition all considering the rain that week were very good, little wet spot here and there can't argue at all. The greens them selves were still a little soft but........ My god they were quick, little gentle breaks get plenty of practice on the putting green.
Can only imagine as the weather gets better so does the course so go and enjoy around

Decent course but......

Played here on 3rd December. Been looking at playing here for a long time and finally made the trip over.
Overall very impressed considering its December course was in OK condition with no winter restrictions (one of the main reason we played here) fairways could have done with a cut but still in good condition and the greens were not bad either, apart from the odd in repaired pitch mark! However my main gripe here was the pace of play. I wouldn't say it was over busy but by hole 6 there was a 4 ball and 3 2 balls all on one hole either playing or waiting. This then became the story of every hole there after. I don't understand why us golfers have such an issue with letting faster groups through. Having read more reviews pace of play does seem to be an issue here.

Ignore the 3 stars

Played here yesterday and to be honest was a little worried due to the 3 star reviews on here.... However...... What a golf course, some of the back drops to the holes are unbelievable. There isn't a bad hole on the course enjoyed playing every single one of them. The 7th is certainly up there with one of the best I've played the two tier fairway is something I've never seen before. The course was in great condition, greens ran smooth not a bobble or even a pitch mark in site.

Would highly recommend

Little gem!

After reading all the reviews on this course decided to book it, and it didn't disappoint!!!! If your looking to smash driver off every hole the opening 7 holes will be tricky, you have to think about it and actually play the course, fairways and greens are firm, so club selection is key. The holes do open up around 8/9 so get the driver out but be warned if you run out of fairway the rough is tough. Then back 9 is played mostly on the top of the course with two par 5s into wind but it is a little bit more forgiving in terms of having to really think your way round. The 17th as everyone mentions is and absoulte gem of a hole, wind was off the left played 158 to the front of the green hit and 8 iron and went miles over the green so good luck!! Played at 4pm and the course was quiet just a 4 ball 4/5 holes in front. Will defo be back here and would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to try something different

Very forgiving

Played today after a little rain... Course is in good condition, nice easy walk. If playing well could score very well as my playing partner did. Greens in great nice odd pitch mark here and there.
Would play again

Lovely course

Second time playing here, course in lovely condition, greens are true and have a lovely speed to them. Would recommend this to anyone, just a little heads up some of the greens and tees are quiet close together so may have to wait on some holes... This wasn't a problem though during my round but could maybe be an issue during busy times.

Good course

Played here today 16/10/20 course in good condition considering recent weather, couple of wet areas but very few and far between. Fairways were in good condition and the greens were in great nick, rolled nice and true on them and were tricky to say the least. Only nag would be not much signage for holes but it would appear they are changing them so will give the benefit of the doubt but having a score card will help. Overall good afternoon out

members

Played here a number of times this years, and every time the club members are difficult. I usually play on my own or with one other, the pace of play from the members and today “the club captain” is very frustrating. I understand they pay there membership fees and have just as much right to be there as anyone, but they are always very quick to knit pick with non members but they don’t follow there own club rules,
The course is brilliant just a word of warning members four balls will not allow you to pass but will ask you to move off the tee if there is queuing on any tee as they are members or “club captain”

Give it ago

Great little course would recommend to go give it ago, played Sunday morning 10-30 tee time think there was only about 6 people on the course. Although it’s a 9 hole course played the different tee positions to make it a good little 18 holes on a Sunday and for a £10 I think you will be pleasantly surprised
