A friend and I played at upton on the 8th of october this is a little gem of a course. Steve the pro did a great job of making us feel welcome as did the members we met, Though this is only 5,807 yards the fairways are quite tight and well tree lined. You have to think about your shots, greens were quite good with some subtle breaks. Six par threes the best was the 15th 200 yards over a lake. We had a great day and will go back and play this course again next time we are in Chester.

This is a pleasant tidy and mainly tree lined course and although relatively short in total yardage is still a fair test for the average golfer. The six par three holes provide interest particularly the 191 yard 15th and the 233 yard 17th. The greens were firm on this occasion with some testing 'reads'. Unless accurate driving can be guaranteed, I suggest selective use of the driver is essential - after my round, the trees have less branches. The food was good and members and staff friendly.

i think the course is nice to play in the summer however it is not so great in the winter as the course is in poor condition. This may be due to the course management and greenstaff.

A mature well put together course that makes the most of the limited space it has, being so close to the city centre.

The course is well maintained a particular highlight being the quality of the fairways. The greens are a little slow I think due to the fact that they are newly constructed but as they mature will probably provide a real challenge due to the undulations. Holes 9,12,13,14,15,18 are the best 1/2 dozen holes, in my opinion, and a real joy to play.

I'm a member of this club but would suggest that the green fee is good value for visitors As with so many courses in the area the members are friendly and welcoming the beer is good and the food is not so great.

Upton-by-Chester is a course with multiple difficult par three's. Its parkland style suites its location and its tight fairways put an emphasis on straight driving. The new greens which are now fully open after renovation (during 2002-2004) provide an excellent test and offer some extremelly challenging pin positions. The course offers excellent value for money and the nineteenth hole has one of the warmest atmospheres you can ever hope to experience. It is an excellent club for both the full time player and the social member.

Hit the ball straight and you can make a decent score, but stray off line and the round can turn into a totally different ball game.
