Played here once before last year I was disappointed on that occasion because of lack of hole signs or in wrong place I was told that they had placed signs on order so we was given a map bit that was last year.
Any way this time no map just a scorecard and was also told signs were on order we made our way to the first tee and had to wait 15 plus minutes for 2 lots of players to go through the fairways were ok and lush I was impressed with the 1st green but once again we was soon looking for directions to tees etc....
But considering we Had rain on and off a week or so before only 2 of the fairways were in bad shape and 1 green was in a bad way but I would still go back because I'm sure this course will be awesome one the signs arrive and it as a bit more done to it overall.
So I'm not being horrible I'm being honest the only thing that might put people off is the lack of or the positioning of them.
The course as a good chance of being up there with Merseysides finest so all the best doing that I really mean that

We arrived a good 10mins before our tee time I walked into the club shop with my friend I told the guy at the desk that I had booked a tee time he asked me to provide confirmation which I did I enquired about the price of golf balls it was like I had asked him for his life I bought the balls and said thanks and I had no reply so I carried on to the 1st tee we found a 4 ball half way down the fairway by the time we finished the hole they had only just teed off but they politely waved us through then we soon caught the next group in front we had to put up with a long wait but after another 2 holes they let us play through .
The front 9 holes as always been the less maintained out of the 18 the ninth green was in bad shape but as I already know the best holes are still to come 11 and 12 is a short par4 and a par3 good holes 16 and 17 are my favourite holes always kept in good condition
the 16th as a lovely green which is truely uphill from the fairway and looks in good shape the 17th as a split fairway but don't use the right one or your doomed :)
The last hole is a shortish par4 a nice hole .
So just be aware of slow play and one unfriendly member of staff :(
But it won't stop me going back must be better next time.
