Evertonian and cat 1?

you missed the bitter out he won’t even use a red tee.
Thats the lad.

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!

I am really sorry to hear that but all clubs have their share of Aholes you may have been just unlucky.

Come have a game with me when you can , if you want to wait until the weathers better that’s ok but it’s good now for January.
If two of the Liverpool lads want to make a four that would be good to meet some of you.

Just let me know.

Cheers pal. I for one would be up for that. Sure there will be a few others too. Nice one.

I wouldn't be jumping at WL for that sort of money. Don't get me wrong the course was in great condition when I played it the other week. However i didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. I found it was a fair test of golf and not overly punishing if you played to your strengths, I didn't try and take any risks around it.

The biggest let down was the very cold welcome I was given in the pro shop and I found the club house lacked character. This did somewhat dampen my experience.

I can tell you a WL story with that in mind, and would be up for another knock around Grange, as well.....as long as the reds win that weekend.

I think everyone else says the same, generally.

Good course, not a great welcome, soulless clubhouse.

I would like a Game around Grange Park as I havnt played it yet and a couple of lads from work say it's a nice track.

Ok, maybe get into Feb or March when the weather gets a bit better for me. If Stegsie want to play in the meantime, no probs.:thup:

Cheers all!

Back to the thread on this I know a few people who are members at FH.

The two things that keeps cropping up as gripes with them are; The course gets very very wet in the winter almost unplayable at times. Secondly as mentioned with visitors being a big attraction to the FH resort and neighboring courses, the round times can be painfully slow and long. I have witnesses this as a guest where its been over 5 hours to play 18. Like all places they have blocks out just for members.

I think its a pretty decent course in the summer and a tough test of golf.

We played on the 2 rounds 1 night BB deal a couple of years ago and the course was in great condition, despite it absolutely chucking it down on the 1st day. I booked it and they did have block bookings for members, I think up to mid day Sunday but not sure Monday onwards, think we played from 11 onwards on the Monday.

I guess it's like all hotel course's, if you can play before a certain time you'll be fine if not then I'd expect a 5 hour round which is how long it took us to get round. Clubhouse food is very good but at hotel prices.

We all enjoyed it but it was busy.

Really in two minds on what to do. Will have a think about it over the weekend.

Definitely leaving our place, so might even do a Year as a nomad and save some pennies for West Lancs!

Decisions, decisions ...

I really enjoy WL but I honestly don't know if I could handle being beaten up by that course/weather on a weekly basis especially when its the most expensive 1st year join apart from Royal Birkdale in the area.

Still a really nice course and being a member would be superb if you are coming from a wet inland golf club.

Pity the clubhouse does nothing for me but each to their own.

 

[garyinderry]

I could happily sneak out to the back 9 on a quiet summers evening and get lost working on my game.

If you get free range balls and access to the par 3 course then its an ideal spot to improve your game.

I'd have to agree with you on this.

I think it's a great test of golf though. I enjoy it the more I play it and I think if you played there every week you'd soon learn to play the tough conditions. as you know Crosby is windy all year round!!

Where do you play?

Do it Stegsie. I'd resign myself to writing my 1st years subs off and enjoy the course.

Fortunately I have the pleasure of playing Hillside twice a week.
