Not a bad little course but not to challenging. Very shabby greens; have to say probably the worst i can remember playing on. Would not rush back.

I am a taxi driver and had just dropped off 8 people at Alton Towers,and decided to ring the club for a game of golf.I rang at 9.32am and was on the first tee at 10.39am.The professional was exactly that and everyone was very welcoming.The course is in very good condition,apart from the greens,which were by no means bad,but just not up to scratch.It is a quite undulating course and the two main holes that stood out for me was the par 3 9th si 2,183 yds uphill,and the si 1 12th,384 yds [pond,240 yds to clear].Not only deid i score the best round of my life [80-18] for a nett 62,but the clubhouse facilities were second to none.Lovely bacon bagette and a pot of tea for lees than £4.00.

The professional asked me if I had found the course easy,but to be honest,it is a good test for any golfer and is a must for anyone.

Highly recommended.

PLAYED THIS COURSE IN EARLY JULY DURING HEAVY RAIN. SEVERAL HOLES HAVE GREENS PERCHED ON PRECARIOUS RIDGES CUT INTO THE HILLSIDE WITH SEVERE SLOPES TO THE FRONT AND SIDES. IT'S A COURSE WHERE PATIENCE IS NEEDED AS GOOD SHOTS INTO THE GREENS ARE NOT ALWAYS REWARDED. THE DRIVE AT THE LONG PAR 4 11TH IS AS DIFFICULT AS THEY COME,KNEE HIGH ROUGH TO THE LEFT AND OUT OF BOUNDS RIGHT!!! THE DRIVE ON THE 12TH IS UNFAIR TO SAY THE LEAST, IF YOU HIT THE MIDDLE OF THE FAIRWAY, YOUR VIEW TO THE GREEN IS BLOCKED BY A LARGE TREE, IT IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO HIT THE BALL OVER THIS TREE AND VERY LITTLE ROOM TO MOVE THE BALL EITHER SIDE OF IT. OVERALL THERE ARE SOME GOOD HOLES, THE PAR 5 15TH & PAR 4 18TH TO NOTE, BUT I WAS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED AT THE OVERALL STANDARD OF THE COURSE.
