Leaves

I played this course and all the fairways were covered in leaves . Through our my whole game I didn’t see a groundsMan
It cost me more in balls than the actual round itself

Play elsewhere

I've played Malkin's on hundreds of occasions over the years but have never seen it in such bad condition. The tees aren't even worthy of one star. There is no grass or growth on many of the fairways and the 15th march is a joke. There is a lack of attention everywhere. I heard that the course was for sale - well best of luck with that.

Always good value, but………

First off, I love this course. It has consistently been great value for money and I’ve played here 10+ times.
But……. The 15th badly needs sorting out. A huge swathe of the fairway has resigned itself to GUR and if you’re not a big hitter, you’re definitely going there!

This weeks round was frustrated by the worlds slowest 4 ball…….in buggies but still lagging behind the group in front by 2 holes! Not the courses falult, of course, i’m just moaning.

Overall, it’s a lovely course and such good value. They should sort out the 15th (maybe cut into a short par 3??) and that would be perfect.

Great place for a game

For the price you pay to play Malkins it’s great value for money. The fairways are not pristine however the greens run true. Malkins is a lovely walk but also a great test of your game..

Good course not over difficult, great condition except for one hole with major GUR.
Caught behind a 3 ball group who never offered to let us play through, 4+ hours for 18 holes too long, last time played we got round I under 3.5 hours.

Great value

When you pay £12 for 18 holes you don't expect a course like this. Tee boxes and fairways are fine, not spectacular but the greens are in great condition. Course layout easy to navigate and nice bar with food in the clubhouse. Will definitely return, thanks.

We had an absolutely terrific day at Malkins Bank.
Right from the off we were made very welcome by everyone.
All the staff & fellow golfers made it a really special day.
It was my first time at the club & there is no doubt at all it won't be the last.

Thank You All
Billy Ramsay
