Great course, unfriendly members

I was a member here for two years when I first started playing golf. The course is tight, tree-lined and flat but with plenty of challenging hazards; sand, brooks, water. A nice layout, no crossing holes but not always obvious to new eyes. Tee boxes were average, fairways were good and greens played well in summer. The course was rarely closed but occasionally boggy in winter. Pro was keen to get you playing but the course was busy on weekends. Two groups on one tee at peak times. The membership prices were great value, there was even a three day membership. Unfortunately some of the members were quite aggressive. Confrontations on the first tee and the course were the least of it, fights in the bar the worst. This encouraged me to move on. Great course when played off-peak, would recommend.

Fantastic course

First time playing and was very impressed, with a lot of local courses effected by the recent bad weather houldsworth didn't have one temporary green and the course was fantastic even with the wet conditions. Staff were great and local members were very helpful and friendly. Will be playing again soon.

First Spring golf round

Not played here before. Was nicely surprised by the beautiful course. Really well kept. Friendly staff in the pro shop and in main building. Nice mix of challenging holes and felt no pressure from other golfers. All together a really nice location and course. Just wish I could have played as well as the course was set out in great condition and will definitely be returning soon to play full course as winter tees still being used.

Ok Course

Course was ok for the time of year. Greens pretty slow but not in too bad nick.
Tee boxes were terrible but it's only Feb and obviously temporary.
Holes can be quiet close together and there's a fair few "FOUR" shouts during a round.
Not too challenging but its alright for the price. I'd play there again.

Little Gem

Little hidden gem of a course in what essentially is a residential area, you wouldn't even know it was there. Not hard, but not easy either, nice and flat!!!

Houldsworth Golf Club

There had been very heavy rain which only stopped as we teed off. The course in winter requires players to play off mats on the fairway or play off the rough. The course was very wet but that is not the fault of the club. In normal weather conditions it would be a lovely course to play. There is a very impressive clubhouse. The Club Pro was very friendly and approachable. Certainly reccommeded.

Weekend break

We wanted something in and around Didsbury, not too expensive and easy walking - Houldsworth fitted the bill well. Very quite and very friendly.
