£3k at the moment. Needs paying upfront at the same time as a Years green fees £1.7k) and £200 bar levy. So, £5K for the first year. Worth it though! Just don’t have it spare!

Yeah, tough gig for first year. That said, I’d be saving up. 45 minutes for me which is a tad too far. I played WL twice this Summer and loved it. If I lived 20 minutes closer to West Lancs or Wallasey I’d be all over one of them.

Yep, I wrote off about 3years ago and WL was the most expensive joining fee and annual fees out of Wallasey, Hillside and S and A.

Not a big fan of WL it’s a brutal course all that gorse.
bunker in the middle of the second fairway .
Not a patch on Hillside or S&A IMO.
Thats an eye watering JF though.
I am at Grange Park it’s in great nick have you considered there.
£1250 yearly plus JF is dependant on age.

what's the competition situation like there? I've heard a few conflicting reports.

I think it's a cracking course.

Was put off Grange Park (albeit a good few years ago) when visiting there. Was made to feel about as welcome as a fart in a wetsuit so never went back!

It's a cracking course, but I'd heard it was very cliquey and not many comps. That came from a lad who joined as a member but was only there a couple of months and he went back to Lee Park.

Exactly how I felt as a visitor. Wasn’t impressed with them at all.

I might sell a kidney and lump up for West Lancs!

Might do a year back there myself to be honest!

Tbf they've done a bit of work this last year. The 2nd now plays as a par 4 2nd time around and other bits and bobs.

Huyton and Prescott is an decent course, 1 problem tho, because it plays so easy your hc is about 3-4 shots better than it really should be






:rofl:
