We arrived at 06:50 for a 07:12 tee time and the place was deserted apart from greenstaff out cutting the course. We stepped up to the tee box and it was quite long grass on the 1st but we put it down to the time of day!

We played the 1st and the 2nd with no real issue although course conditions werent great with long fairways and orange/yellow greens!! As we made our way to the 3rd tee there was a sign explaining that 3,4,5,6,7 were all closed holes! At this stage i wasnt happy given the fact that this wasnt signposted on any part of the Golf Now or Regent Park GC websites. Anyway despte that we climbed on to the 8th tee and played 8 and 9. The 9th by the way was purely awful. The fairways were very long and dangerous in places (see photos). We finished 9 and made our way to 10.

To get to the 10th tee you walk past the clubshop which was now open. It was open and at the same time had 20+ blokes outside of it ready to tee off. There was a competition being played with the back 9 Being played twice. Again no signposting to this anywhere so we now found ourselves behind a huge group of blokes. I spoke to the lad behind the screen in the clubshop who basically blamed Golf Now for not putting anything on the website, yet had nothing to say when i showed him the Regent Park website with nothing on it either.

When i asked about a refund i was told to seek it from Golf Now, which is what i 100% intend to do. I will be contacting the chairman of Regent Park aswell as the whole thing is ridiculous. £26 each for that is nothing short of daylight robbery!

We booked this as a last minute round as we both became available at the last minute. Limited course availability meant this was our only option. We arrived and were immediately impressed. Superb nets next to a well manicured practice putting green. There is a driving range a short walk across the 18th!

The tee boxes are in very good condition, the greens are firm and fast and the fairways are in excellent conditions. The layout is an interesting challenge with plenty of raised greens and some really small greens. The rough is punishing so ball off the tee is key to a good score.

All in all it was a very good round of golf on a lovely course in the heart of Halifax and given its only 30 minutes away from North Manchester we will definitely be returning in the future.
