Excellent conditions
Played at Holywell for the first time today and I was greeted by the pro who was very helpful and friendly and explained the course layout in detail. Course was in great condition with all holes open even after all the courses in the area being closed the previous week. Will definitely be returning, fantastic club !
A hidden gem
Played in December after a lot of recent rain. Only 14 holes open, but really enjoyed the course. The holes that were open were playable, and had drained really well. Not many hazards on the course (apart from sheep) but it was a decent test and the quirky inland links nature of the layout made for a great days golf. Members and Shop Pro were very helpful. Will definitely be revisiting.
Holywell
Course in good condition apart from gorse and bracken
A good golf course
Holywell is a nice challenging parkland/heathland course on common land where sheep roam freely. Greens were very good condition. Front 9 is much harder than the back 9. Fairly flat course. Good fun.
Holywell Mid Week Round
A friendly Golf Club with challenging holes on a dry Late August day.
Course reasonable , but sheep everywhere and unexpected on the Course complete with droppings .
Links like in presentation with gorse and hummocks , the coffee and bacon rolls pre game and quiet peaceful surroundings made this little gem of a place an enjoyable day out just off the North Wales Coast .
Enjoyable round in beautiful Holywell
A very good test of golf with some long challenging holes. Very good true greens and interesing layout. Very nice par 3s. Very friendly members and pro. I will definitely return.
Absolute gem
Last minute decision to play on a hot deal whilst travelling between north Wales and Chester. What a choice it was. From the fabulous welcome in the pro shop, to a thoroughly enjoyable round on a quirky and occasionally testing course. Don't be fooled by the wide open spaces and lack of sea views. It's a property links style challenge. Wind was strong and the fairways have all the bumps and hollows you would expect. Greens were a touch slow. It had rained an awful lot on the preceding day and they maybe could have warranted being cut a millimetre or two lower.
Finally it would not be a review without mentioning the sheep. There's loads of the buggers all over the course. This just adds to the quirky charm of the place though. Whilst we didn't hit any there were a couple of near misses and we had to shoo a couple off tees. Bizarrely though their etiquette is great and we didn't come across a single one on a green haha
Thoroughly recommended and will definitely be back again on our next visit to the area
Disappointed
I have played this course quite a few times over the last 20 years and have never seen the greens in such a bad state, bald patches all over the greens they are the worst greens I’ve played on in many years and if I were you I’d avoid for the next 6 months until they get them sorted out. I was really disappointed to say the least.
Bargain.
It is a bit like playing a links on top of a mountain. Yes there are sheep around and the 3 hole loop is a bit iffy but the rest of the course looks and plays great. Some tough par 3's and one tiddler but it is over a quarry. The 18th is played over a proper road-where else can you experience that-literally have to look left and right before teeing off? Played it and it was blowing a gale but it was great fun and even better value.
Testing course at great value.
First time playing Holywell this morning and will definitely be back now I know my way around the course.
For a first time player some holes can be a little confusing where you are hitting too but hole to hole is sign posted really well. Don’t know what the speed of play would be like on a busy summers day as a few holes you have to wait for cars to cross roads or others on near by tee boxes but that wasn’t an issue for me this morning, thankfully. 18th hole especially is a little daunting as your tee shot is across a main road!
Course is in really good condition and it was nice to see drives actually bouncing down a fairway rather than the usual plug people would’ve probably became accustomed to.
Had a lovely meal and a pint in the clubhouse afterwards and the staff were very friendly.
Value for money, one of the best courses within an hours drive of me as £30 is an absolute bargain nowadays!
Holywell golf course
First time out here, totally different to courses I’ve played in the past but I have to say it was enjoyable and I’ll definitely be playing again soon!!
Excellent winter course
Had a superb day in fine weather. Played alone needing some much needed practice having not played for a while. Didn't lose any balls despite a couple of loose shots. A couple of holes closed. Friendly staff member informed me of this from the outset. Greens in excellent condition for the time of year holding well. Sank a couple of long putts so really pleased with my game overall and will return soon. Friendly member pointed me in the right direction when I lost my way to a tee.
