Usually good but back 9 should’ve been closed was like marsh sinking in the fairways and the greens were bobbly, wasn’t worth the 40 quid pp, but as I said I have played mellor 4-5 time before and it is usually very good
Player Mellor and Townscliffe for the first time, on the card it looks like a short course it don’t let that fool you as the up and down nature of the course leaves you knowing you’ve played it.
Playing in January came with the obvious draw backs but the course wasn’t in to bad a condition, the fairways were good but matts had to be used, it looked like the greens had just had some work done on them so they weeent in the best of nick.
Course Closed
We made a booking to play 18 but on arrival the course was closed and i am waiting on a refund as we never played
Its 1 of my favourite courses & it takes 1 hour 20 minutes to drive there but upon arriving we was told there was 5 holes closed which were the 13th to the 17th because it was wet so they decided that you could play from the 2nd agen to the 12th then the 18th but the problem was when you came off the 12th the 2nd had a number of 4 balls waitin on the 2nd it would of meant waiting at least 40 minutes to continue so we decided to leave there was a number of golfers doing the same. So all in all it wasn’t worth the money or the journey very disappointing.
Always a good round
Love this course. Nice mix of holes and lovely scenery. Walked it with a 2 ball in 4 hours but it's a hilly one and parts really get tiring, played first time here with a buggy and recommend it but be careful coming back down the hill. Only issue is they have a small amount of buggys.
Don't miss this gem.
Challenging holes with great views.
Excellent condition. True and slick greens.
Fantastic fairways, light rough well managed.
The weather was great with no wind. Very hot day so the buggy was much appreciated on this up and down course.
A vert enjoyable day out with my son.
Would definitely play again at this reduced price. Well worth it.
Hilly but great
Tricky course, steep climb for the first 9 holes but amazing views. Would benefit from course map on the scorecard. Course in great condition, aircon very welcome in the bar.
Mellor golf course
5 stars for the green keepers the Greens and Fairways were fantastic.
Nice course variety of holes doglegs short and long par 3s wide fairways.
A bit hilly and a few uphill downhill lies.
Good for heart and lungs
Greens were fast and true. Played Mellor and Marple in the afternoon really enjoyed our knock. It is truly up there with our top five courses we play on a regular basis
Views are spectacular and it is a real pleasure regardless of score although that does help
Unfortunately we did not partake of the clubhouse due to teeing off at Marple in the afternoon.
Definitely next time
Review of Mellor & Townscliffe GC by Phil (30Y.O)
What a day 🤩! Firstly got lucky with the weather 23 and clear sky’s . I paid £13.99 on a hot deal tee time of 13:50pm which is extremely good value for money this course could easily be £30-£60 per round. I thought I left myself adequate time to get to the course but got stuck in some horrible traffic (roadworks) in Marple which put a 20 minute delay on my journey. The pro shop was very accommodating when I phoned ahead and said I would be fine to go off later. I used the chipping green when I arrived and then the putting green up by the first tee, and then I was supposed to be playing on my own, but the two lads teeing off infront of me invited me to join them so I did and we had a great time. The course is pretty hilly in parts I was on foot but I managed ok, a cart would be nice but I’m tight with my money haha. The views from the 8th green and the 12th tee are the best I have seen on a uk course on a clear day, you can see right across Manchester. I had read other peoples reviews of this course and that was what made me drive almost an hour to try it for myself and I’m very glad I did the course is in immaculate condition and I would love to come back and play again in the future! Thanks Phil.
Hidden Gem
For whatever reason we’ve always overlooked this course, played majority of the courses nearby but never here, we’ve been missing out, fantastic course with unreal views over Manchester and the surrounding areas especially from the 11th tee, without spoiling the suprise the 12th is a great hole. We payed £18.99 per person on a hot deal which is an un real price as courses nowhere near as good as this are charging 3 or 4 times that price.
Hidden gem
We arrived at the course with 10 minutes to spare due to loads of road works . The staff was very helpful and pointed us in the direction to the first tee . Spoke to a few members on route to the tee and what a great opening hole driver and off we go . The course was in great condition and the greens fast and true . Only bit of advice if you can get a buggy this is one of the steepest courses I have ever played but the views from the top are amazing. We will be back but hopefully this time with a buggy
Great views, hilly, interesting
Enjoyed my Friday afternoon here. £10.99 was excellent value. The friendly and helpful member of staff in the pro shop was happy to let me tee off early so that I could play on my own in a free slot rather than play with a couple of unknowns who had booked the same tee time as me. The course has a number of memorable holes with considerable changes in elevation both uphill and downhill. I always prefer walking with my trolley but I think many golfers would want to hire a buggy here. I was blowing a bit after some of the steep uphill sections! Playing on my own behind two four balls meant that the last five or six holes took a while. To be fair, I was asked if I wanted to play through by the group in front, but I was in no rush, and it was the group in front of them who seemed to be more responsible for the slow pace of play. I wasn’t very happy with how I played, especially with the putter, but that had nothing to do with the course, which I thought was great.
Fantastic value for green fee
4 hcp playing. Course was pleasantly surprising, the green were smooth and fairly fast, fairways good condition and fringe cuts nice. The hole layout is generally different from the ‘normal’ course, fairly extreme elevation on some holes which is interesting to test the shots. £15 green fee as standard…WORTH IT!
What a gem!
We enjoyed our first visit to Mellor very much. The weather was extremely hot and the ground was dry/parched. Greens were running faster than Usain Bolt.
Cleverly laid out (and quite American in feel) we did struggle sometimes to find our way. A course map on the scorecard would be (very) useful and maybe a diagram of the hole at each Tee would also help.
Footpaths between holes and in general were excellent.
Other than those two points this was a wonderful experience - plenty of elevation and definitely some challenging holes, but the views made it all worthwhile.
Was made to feel very welcome in the bar afterwards and the friendly atmosphere was noticeable.
Will certainly return. Thank you.
