Widnes Golf Club

Firstly. Club pro very friendly and helpful, also course conditions very good and well looked after.

However, course layout just not enjoyable, everybody playing over one another and people getting backed up. I think at one point here are 4 greens and 5 tee boxes within 100 yard of each other

Appreciate it was April but the course very heavy and boggy with the ball plugging everywhere. Tees and greens really poor with us often moving the ball a foot or so to avoid a particular bad patch of green. The 17th making us laugh if nothing else, some form of sunken sprinkler head surrounded by a patch of rough smack bang in the middle of the green again causing us to move the ball for a free run at the hole.

The pro in the shop was welcoming and offered advice about getting around the tricky short walks between the holes

Plenty of greens staff seen on the course so maybe it will improve.

Even tho the course was wet we still really enjoyed our round, the pro couldn’t have been more helpful, there was a minor issue with him being a Liverpool fan and me and my playing partner being evertonians, but once that was gotten over with he was excellent, full of advice for the course and amenities. I’d really like to go back in the summer to see the course playing longer and faster but for a mid November game of golf it was very enjoyable. Will visit again

The presentation of the course was abysmal! The amount of litter along the OB line/ edge of the course on the first few holes was grim. Also, the steam running across he first fairway is a health hazard, was full of litter, cardboard, and what looked like oil.

The greens were soft, uneven, and even had weeds growing in some places.

Pace of play was perfect until some local members decided to jump in on the 14th to which we were then waiting around for 5 minutes at a time per shot.

The layout and fairways/rough was ok and the tees were bare in places.

I honestly wouldn’t bother playing this place, for 26 quid it’s not value for money at all and you may as well spend a little more to play a proper golf course!

On arrival for a our tee off the Pro shop was shut so no way of getting a score card. The grounds keeper said they are usually outside but none had been left. On the course whoever designed the course must of been off his Barnet tee boxes crossing each other on numerous occasions and at least 6 of the greens where out of action. At £30 for the round I've been to municipal course that are better and cheaper, talk of build house on it and making into a 9 hole course on this showing its got to be a better option.

Been playing here for the last year , course in best nick i’ve seen it . Greens excellent and really quick and true despite recent rain .

If you're not on your A game with the driver then leave it in your car. Great looking course, every whole beautifully lined with trees. Lovely to look at but miss the fairway and you'll be punished.

Friendly staff, great course, would play again

Was ok for a play. Tight course as informed hen booking in. Seems as if maybe it was a 9 at one time made ot an 18 ?? though just guessing.
Staff very friendly, course in average condition. .Signage direction between tees not good at all.

Always like playing this course but not sure why prices have gone up so much. Won't be playing again until prices are where they should be.
(£25-£28)

Would recommend the course to anyone to play. It was in great condition and it is a good fair test for golfers of all abilities. Staff very friendly. Only negative was not option of Twilight Golf rates. We teed off at 5.30pm so no chance of playing 18 holes with darkness but still had to pay full normal daily rate for 18 holes.

First time playing at Widnes so wasn't sure what to expect. The pro was friendly and very helpful on arrival, pointing out where to go for the next tee on some holes and a few tips for our game. Was quite busy and got stuck behind a 4 ball for a few holes but they let us through eventually. Course was a good test with some tight tree lined fairways and accurate tee shots are a must! Condition wasn't amazing but after the heavy rain the last couple of weeks, it was probably no surprise that the course was soft and wasn't cut short with some cut grass still on the ground. Greens were okay but a bit bumpy with the softness. Lots of pitch marks on some of them - why don't people repair them?? Had a drink after and the staff were friendly. A good variety of holes (long and short, straight and dogleg) although par 3s are a bit samey. Good value for money, overall a good round of golf.
