New to the sport and had 6 lessons which finished in September. Living in Warrington and working near Manchester Airport has made me concentrate on clubs situated between the two but I have played some courses further afield. So far I have had a knock at Dunham Forest, Lymm, High Legh, Walton Hall, Poulton, Antrobus, Wigan (Blackrod) and Warrington. I am also going to play Leigh (Culcheth) next week and Mottram Hall (close to work but a fair drive from home).
Having finished my golf lessons in September the drainage of a course is very important to me due to the weather being very wet in the last 2 months and I have seen all ththe courses at their worst. It’s actually a good thing as I intend to play every Sunday throughout the year so I want my money’s worth.
Based on whether I like the course, distance from home, course drainage and the quality of the club house The Warrington Golf Club is top of my list but there is a waiting list.
This leaves me undecided on where to join in 2020 between Lymm, based on a very enjoyable 12 holes back in September (nice pint of Wainwright’s), and Poulton which is very reasonable, friendly and the closest course to where I live. Also Competitions I believe are a Sunday which also suits me.
I will obviously be open minded when I play the course at Leigh next week as it is only 15 minutes away as well. Mottram Hall I have been told is again an excellent course but it is that little bit further from home.
Hopefully I am on the right track with my thought process and if anyone has any advice happy to hear it.
