Very short but sweet

The course was beautiful and in good condition, especially for the time of year. With that said I didn’t feel I was getting good value for money. We played in a two ball and were by no mean rushing round, we both lost a couple of balls along the way and spent time looking for them, but we still finished in just about an hour. At £25 each for 9 par 3 holes with no option to play the course twice, I felt overcharged.

A once wonderful PGA PAr 3 now in awful condition

The Par 3 course at Formby Hall used to be in top notch condtition and indeed has held PGA Comps and and appeared on a cerain golf influencer's channel. Formby Hall have let this once magnificent Par 3 nine hole course go to rach and ruin.

The greens are unkempt and now full of moss, this was not always the case of once lush greens. It is clear that the head professional and golf greenkeeping staff are no longer focused ont he par 3 and use this as a cash cow. I used to pay the Woodhey Dunes weekly but this is now in a condition as poor as a municipal course.

Sorry to tel ladies and gentleman that the Woodhey Dunes is no longer value for money and until the PGA professional and green keeping staff pay a great focus to this area of the complex, it might as well close as it will soon become unplayable.

Not sure what Dave and his team are doing about this, but staff in the shop are very defensive when you complain about the state of the course
