Widnes golf club

2 holes shut
All temporary Tees
4 temp greens
No trolleys unless you have hedgehog wheels
Grass not getting cut on the fairways

None of which is stated on golf now which is disappointing. Especially after driving to the course.

Golf course should of been closed

Played the course today , it should of been closed. We have had a lot of bad weather over the last few weeks an months.

This is great course and great layout. First week in January anywhere would of been difficult to get a decent game of golf.

Not Playable

Arrived at course to be told that due to ground conditions, no trolleys allowed. Did attempt to contact us but already on way. Ground conditions were awful. Very wet plugged balls even on fairway. Took 45 minutes to play first two holes due to slow play ahead ! Cut across to play some of back nine. Played only 9 holes. Lot of standing water in places and we were of the view that course should have been closed. On discussing with staff after, apparently the course has a no closure policy due to members. Seemed nice enough course but overall was poor on the day.
If the play is usually that slow would be 5+ hours to play which is unacceptable.

Round blighted by leaves on the course

The round was somewhat ruined by the abundance of leaves on the course meaning a lot of lost balls that in other circumstances wouldn’t have been lost.

Easy Walj

Staff, greens staff & Pro really polite, and more than helpful.
Well maintained course and green’s in very good condition for the amount of rain we’ve had, but not too keen on the layout and got to be honest, a bit boring.
It’s an easy walk, so if it’s a nice stroll with a set of clubs you like, this could be for you, but not very well marked out from green’s to the next tee’s.

You have to play this course

I’m from Edinburgh and every time I’m in Liverpool I play here. The layout of the course is superb, fantastic par 3’s so well protected with bunkers and small greens. The greens are the best surface I’ve played this season to date. The fairways and fringes cut so well. Putting is pure rolls and great speed on perfect surfaces. This is a fantastic course. Club house excellent service and the green keepers should be so proud of the work they are doing. Thanks stuart

Decent value for money

Slow round due to business. Course not in anywhere near as good condition as it has been (even allowing for winter conditions) but good value for money on Sunday for £18

Disappointed

Booked and paid online. Got there club shop shut and noone about to check in. Made our way to the tee box 10 minuets before our tee time as they are in 10 minute slots. As one of our group teed off a lady opened window and screamed for us to sign in. Explained that the shop was closed when we got there and we had booked online and paid. I know you are meant to sign in at a course when arrive but when its closed there isnt much you can do. Made 7 of us come back around to pro shop and all sign in individually. We again explained that the shop was closed when we got there so to save a back log we would go to the tee and tee off. With all the hassle of being pulled back this now caused a queue. What we was trying to avoid. We had already called then club in advance and explained there was another player with us and we were told to play the round and pay at end when shop was back open. So to be treated like this was shocking. Very poor and not professional in the slightest.

Greens where really poor aswell. Probably the worst I have played on. They had massive squares cut out of them and filled with sand. It was like an extra bunker on the green.

Fairways was the saving grace for this clubs. Really lush and lovely to play off

Overall I was disappointed and let down by the individual staff member and the greens off the course.

Red Course Status

All per 3's closed

Winter tees, preferred lies on fairway, use mats.

Many temporary greens in play.

I expected and accepted the above at the beginning of play. But the 4 holes I played were waterlogged to the point that my socks were covered in mud and my feet soaking wet. Every ball plugged regardless of where it landed, temporary greens included. Spent more time looking for my ball than playing. In my opinion the course should be closed, a few of the members agreed.
