Short but narrow course. Great greens and facilities.

Played Wirral GC on 1 September 2022. Teed-off on time. Pace slow initially but quickened up as the round progressed. The course was firm owing to the hot spell but the greens were in excellent condition. The course is not long but narrow so accuracy off the tee is required especially in dry conditions. The heather that separates the fairways has been considerably thinned so it’s not as difficult to play out of at the moment. It is a local course that we play often and I always enjoy playing it. The clubhouse has been renovated, the food is good, the staff and members are friendly and the green fees are affordable. Highly recommended course and club if you are able to play it.

Short course but straight hitting required.

I can’t recommend this course highly enough. Although the course is short it requires straight hitting to avoid the heather alongside the fairways. Course was in excellent condition, the greens were mid-paced but true. The clubhouse has recently been renovated and the bar has been taken over by ‘Gallaghers’. Members and staff were friendly and welcoming. It was a great day all round, can’t wait to return using Golf Now discounted green fees. Being local, I could be tempted to join the club.
Highly recommended on all categories.

Interesting moorland course

Played the course in early July 21. Found it to be compact with narrow fairways on some holes. Good mix of par threes, fours and fives. Unusually, the course seems to be managed by grazing sheep in places and one needs to be aware of sheep pooh! There are few bunkers and the greens were quicker than I was used to so some adjustments to chips and putts were required. Overall, a good golfing experience especially for the price paid via the Golf Now website. Facilities were fine and staff in the pro’s shop we’re very welcoming. Will play again soon. Highly recommended course in a lovely setting.

Short Course but Great Value

Played on a clear, warm day in October. Few players on the course so we got around with no pressure from behind and no waiting for players ahead of us. The course was in excellent condition with fast greens and super teeing areas. The course is a par 68 but has enough interesting holes in a heathland setting for all levels of player. Didn't use the off-course facilities as the bar prices are very high. Cheaper in the local pub.

Short but narrow heathland course with good greens.

Played in the heat wave in late May 2018. Course is short and flat which helped. It was in better shape than a month previously. However, both times we got behind a ladies medal competition which slowed us down. Having said that the people we met on and off the course were friendly, the bar facilities were great and at £12 per round it was excellent value. We will play at this course again very soon.

Flat links course with some interesting holes.

Played the course in early May 2018. Hadn't played it for over 30 years but it was pretty much as I remembered it. It is a flat links course with many short par fours, some of them interesting with gorse featuring heavily on both sides of the fairway. When we played there was only a light breeze which makes a big difference to the degree of difficulty. The course was in good condition for the time of year and staff and members were very welcoming. For £9 per player it was excellent value and will definitely play there again soon.

Short but undulating course

Played the course in May 2018. I had played it previously and said next time I would use a buggy. I didn't and as a pensioner I found it short but hard walking. The layout is great with many interesting holes with the premium on accuracy. The course was in very good condition for the time of year after a very wet early spring. Staff and members in the clubhouse were friendly and they did a delicious bacon bap. For £10 a round each it was great value. A course for the physically fit or use a buggy but the buggy costs £25!

Short but interesting heathland course

Played the course in April 2018 not having played it for 30 years. It is a short course (par 68) but the lay out is interesting and you will need to be straight off the tee. Having said that the heather has been thinned as have some of the wooded areas that line the fairways. The course was busy on the day which meant slower play than usual as we were were behind a ladies competition.
Other players and staff we spoke to were very friendly and the course was in great condition considering the amount of rain that had fallen recently.
As for value, our 18 holes cost £9 each, which was the same as two pints of shandy in the 19th!
Highly recommended and will return soon.
P.S. The course is now Wirral Golf Club - the "Ladies" was dropped about ten years ago in line with modern thinking.

Thank you very much for your very positive comments which we greatly appreciate. The course has been busy during April as it is one of the few courses that remains open on Wirral even in the heavy rain. That particular day was a 4BBB a format that does take some time. We look forward to welcoming you again to the club very soon. We are introducing buggies in May.

Great Links Course

Played on a day in early April when most of my local courses on the Wirral were closed due to poor weather. However, we had been looking to play Prestatyn for a while so we booked a tee-time on the day as the course was fully open, no temporary greens, and trolleys and buggies allowed. Even the sun was shining! We had a chat to some members prior to our tee-time and they were very welcoming.
The course itself was in super condition considering the amount of rain that had fallen over the previous month. It was flat, with generous fairways and the greens were medium fast. The yellow tees were well forward so the course was playing shorter but there was little run on the ball.
I enjoyed the course and would be happy to play it again soon. The round cost a reasonable £21 per player booked via the tee-times website. Owing to time factors we were unable to sample the clubhouse and bar facilities. Maybe next time.
Highly recommended course.

Great value and enjoyable golf experience both on the course and in the clubhouse.

Played the course in late March 2018. The course was busy but the pace of play was fine. No temporary greens either and the course was not as wet as expected. It's a relatively short track with a premium on straight driving although some of the dog-leg par fours need a very long drive to see the green for your second shot. Food was available in the clubhouse until 4.00 pm and the staff in the bar area were welcoming and friendly. Brilliant vale at £10 per round on the day we played. Highly recommended and will play there again soon.
