Having only recently started playing golf, I go everyweek now to Garstang as it is cost effective and allow for slightly miss hit shots whilst still learning.

I am very impressed with the course, the Fairways can sometimes be a little long, but you can always play regardless of the weather.

At £17-00 for full 18 holes it is very cheap.

The Par 4 first hole is a great warm up for the day and when the sun is shining the course is fantastic.

The greens are well kept and challenging for a beginner.

Good club house and shop with great menu and setting.

A course lacking character - it doesn't engage but it's difficult to know why. The course design is fairly open and to get round this the "first cut" has been left punitively high - and this is often not easy to see from the tees, so fairly straight drives can still end up being penalised.

It feels to be lacking care and attention, and there are no "special" holes.

It's a tough challenge if you're new to it, not particularly enjoyable (but I did play badly!), and one that rewards steady percentage golf.

"Just like a farmers field" was the opinion of most members of the society I played in recently.

Fairways not bad, greens plenty of grass, tees abysmal,If you're fairly straight there is no problem at all with the ultra wide fairways.Not one hole that I thought was worthy of more than 6 out of 10

35 years of experience in the game tells me I wont be going back for a long time.

My friends and I started playing golf at Garstang around ten years ago before joining local clubs. We go back every 18 months or so and it is good to see that the course is maturing nicely. The plantations have grown and the general condition of the course has improved. The greens were in good nick last weekend, while the fairways were well grassed and lovely to play from. A couple of the bunkers could do with some attention and some of the teeing grounds were a bit ropey, but these are minor grumbles. There are some lovely holes and it is no pushover for the mid handicapper. The closing 5 holes, with the exception of the bland par 3 16th, are long testing par 4's. You can usually let rip with the driver on the generous fairways, but if you stray off line there is a lot of water and some thick rough to swallow up your ball. The welcome is always good and the staff friendly and it's good value at 17 pounds for a weekend round. Yes there are a lot of novices on the course and a few stray shots fly around, but as a previous contributor has said, remember you had to start somewhere!

Played the course on the may bank holiday weekend with the lads from the Homeguard in Failsworth manchester.

The course is very demanding and long and a pleasure to play, the 3rd hole par three is a great hole to play, tight but a good test for any player. Also the 7th hole is a good test the green is sat along side of the river anything left and you you need a pair of wellies, sorry waders.

I think the best hole on the course is the par 4 15th also running along side a river any thing left get your trunks out you will need them, i should know on the first day i went in the drink.

Any one wishing to go Garstang for the weekend i think you would find it hard to find a better place, the staff are fantastic they looked after us for three days and it was a pleasure to stay there.If you see a little old man sat at the 15th hole telling jokes he is called Eddie Carey just put him on a train back to Manchester.

Fantastic course with a warm welcome from the staff. Undergoing some slight renovation at the moment but that will only improve matters. Watch out for an over hit shot into the 4th green. It borders the banks of two converging canals and attracts many a ball.
