Advice please on courses around Hoylake

[Crawfy]

My playing partner and I are making a season end visit to Royal Liverpool in November. We are travelling down on a Sunday and looking for a course to play that afternoon before we play Hoylake on the Monday.
Links course is the preference, and being Nov we will hopefully capitalise on winter fees and grab a bargain (more beer money)
Looking to stay at No15 Stanley Rd on the Sun night ( overlooks Hoylake course) anyone stayed there?

All advice welcome

Many thanks

Wallasey is well worth a visit :thup:

If you're coming into Liverpool from the North take your pick of the southport Lot, Hillside, S&A, Formby etc etc

I'll be biased and say if you play Wallasey first you'll play the best course before the most expensive on the Wirral

Formby do a fourball price of £220, or £70 a single from November-March through. Normally £130 iirc in the summer.

If you put it in the arrange a game section, 2 others may help you fill the other spaces to get you the £55 each deal, and it includes soup and sarnies.

16 of us are playing there tomorrow, check out the arrange a game for reviews tomorrow night.

I've done it the last 3 years as Formby in March and for £55 is a steal.

Prices may be higher but Hillside, Wallasey, West lancs, SandA and to a slightly lesser extent Caldy, are the others worth doing.

Formby is the best VFM though on the fourball deal, and is an open qualifier course.:thup: Not as good as Hillside, though.

Wallasey would definitely be my choice!

Though I disagree about it being better than Hoylake. Not all that far off and far better value for money though!

Definately Wallasey, although following it you might find Hoylake a bit of a let down.

Definitely Wallasey, has some great holes but not a better all round course than Hoylake in my opinion. Caldy and Heswall are decent value options, but not links (Caldy has some links style holes, Heswall parkland)
