Walton Hall Golf Club in Warrington is regarded as one of the finest municipal courses in the North West.Par 72 and a great course to play. A course I've played a lot in my earlier days golfing, this is a course that has great facilities and i highly recommend it to the starting out golfer. Its very reasonable priced, has good deals and is easy to get to from the M56 motorway. Enjoyed every round I've played here it has a couple of great Par 5s, it is a popular course which says a lot in itself its very well maintained and has great greens, its a course that gives you a bit of everything and you will want to return to again as its not a course that's easy to get the better of.

Tytherington Pictures & Scorecard

Tytherington Golf Club is set in gently rolling parkland, winding through mature woodland and follows the natural contours of the land with over 80 bunkers and eight water features providing a challenging but enjoyable test of skill for every calibre of golfer.Very nice course indeed it has been named as one of the best courses in the North West of England. Another course I will be revisiting the greens and fairways were brilliant, the water features are great and the general setting of the course is ideal. there are a couple of great tricky holes but generally I would say a great course to play for all standards and one you will want to go back and play again.

I use to play here a lot on societies a brilliant course for any handicapper, its nice and flat and open and has very good greens. The clubhouse is great and it also has its own driving range, the course is well set out with testing holes of allsorts. If your just starting out playing golf or have not yet played on a full 18 hole course this place is ideal which doesn't mean its for beginners only far from it, this is a good test of golf to any golfer and is an easy stroll.

Stockport Clubhouse & Pictures

Stockport Golf Club measures 6326 yards from the tee on the first to the pin on the eighteen, it is relatively easy-walking, allowing you to concentrate fully on the challenges that lie in wait for you. The par of 71 is a good indication that this isn't the easiest course in the area. Ive only played here once so far but will definitely be going back if the opportunity arises, a great course and clubhouse the course is well set out with a variation of holes which will test all your shots, another course I would say is fairly easy on the legs as well there are is a great slight dogleg right Par 5 on here that was my favourite hole, but don't get me wrong the other holes were very enjoyable, I recommend you put this on your courses to play list you wont be disappointed.

Stamford Clubhouse & Picture

Stamford Golf Club is a 5,701yds Par 70. Don't let the short yardage trick you into thinking this is easy course, its very tight and quite a challenge. Played here a lot and always challenges me even over the years as I improved slightly, a course with plenty of twists and turns. I like the novelty of this course because you think because its short you can hit yourself out of trouble but that's not true if anything it will get you in more trouble, the Par 3's are also a good feature on here with the tricky 18th being one and making it a good finishing hole, although it looks straight forward when stood on the tee club selection is the thing that always gets me on this hole. Its fairly up and down so not one of the easiest courses on the legs but a course that when your driving out you will be thinking I'm coming back here I could of done better and will do every time you leave.

Shrigley Hall Golf Club  is a 18-hole, par-71 course was designed by celebrated architect Donald Steel, who’s worked on every Open Championship venue in the country.

Its toughest challenges are the 8th (par 3), with a meandering stream, ponds either side and a woodland backdrop, and the tricky 18th (par 5) with its sweeping dog-leg, bordering our superb fishing lake.The first time I played here the weather was awful which didn't help but it made me return to play it again, I wouldn't say its an easy course on the legs but is a good test of golf in a great setting.There are many memorable holes on here but the 18th as stated above is one of the best finishing holes I've played.

There are brilliant views from certain tees and a lot of orange trees, the Par 3's on here are awesome, a must to be played.

We arrived to find they had put us in the middle of a open competition which was a shotgun start. As you can imagine we were delighted and the condition of the course was out of this world. It was pure luck I got to play here but boy am I glad I did, every hole is brilliant and a great test. As you can see from the picture above the clubhouse and facilities are superb, this course is a 100% must if your on the Costa Del Sol.

Forest Of Arden Clubhouse,Pictures & Scorecard

Forest Of Arden Golf Club was designed in 1970 by a man called Donald Steel and then redesigned again in 1992. There are two courses at the Arden Golf Club that I have played, The Arden and The Aylesford. The Aylesford in itself is a lovely designed course which has a bit of everything but is not in the same league as The Arden as you can imagine as it has hosted the British Masters and the English Open. The Arden to me is at this moment in time in my top 5 courses that I have played in all time. A wonderful course with every kind of shot you can think of, tremendous greens and fairways, great setting with wildlife roaming around.This course has unbelievably good holes but the one that got me the most was the 8th a Par 3 147yds off yellows stroke index 18, its all carry over water and when you stand on the tee you will say exactly the same as I did "I can't believe this is stroke index 18" a truly wonderful course that definitely should be played in your lifetime.

Its a course for all types of player and easy to find a well enjoyed game will be played here and a return visit will be definitely on your mind.

The par of 71 is a good indicator of the challenges you will face, as the course measures only 5976 yards from the tee on the first to the pin on the eighteenth.To me my kind of course a great test, a bit hilly, not flat lies all round and great greens. Saddleworth is a very peaceful course to play on with some amazing holes non other than the 14th a Par 5 that is 496yds from whites this hole was picked out by the famous Peter Alliss as one of the best holes he's ever played hence the name of the hole being Alliss's Choice.

The first Competition using the New Greens was in June 2006 with 140 very excited Players taking part.Many greens are larger than previously, giving more options for pin placement. New bunkers, particularly on the shorter par fours, means more care will be required with shot and club selection.Finally, and most importantly, the wonderful new drainage system beneath the greens and fairways means that we will be the only local club able to play on proper greens, in good condition, throughout the year.When I played here it was after the greens had been altered and yes they were fantastic well lets put it this way I believe Nick Faldo,Sandy Lyle & Greg Norman are just a few of the names who have played here in the Pro-am so that says it all but no truthfully from an amateurs point of view this course is fantastic and one I intend going back to play again asap.
