PLayed both courses over 4 days. Both were a bit wet after prolonged bad weather. Enjoyed both courses, the Cheshire is very scenic but the Nicklaus a good test with some demanding long holes. Recommend both courses. Staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough to make our stay enjoyable both on the course and in the hotel. Only downside was £3.00 for a coffee in the Clubhouse.

Very much corporate hotel golf. Played the back nine holes on the Cheshire. This had to be a special request and luckily it was quiet on the April afternoon. I think they are missing out after closing the par three for hotel guests who want a couple of hours golf and not a full day.

First thing the golf range is not near the club house - makes warming up requiring transport as well.

Club house is large and luxurious but spartan in the shop. Otherwise fairly helpful. £20 for nine holes - OK. Advised to play the back nine which were drier. I had played shortly before in Yorkshire which was sodden. These holes were nicely dry and the greens pretty hard. However much signs of work on the greens with a short of ridge effect from some machine.

Saying that it was pleasant enough. Good views over the Cheshire plane. Some added water and what seems like hundreds of pot bunkers - most poorly maintained with degraded edges and weeds.

Overall OK, but I would have been dissapointed to pay £45 for 18 holes and the Niclaus course would need to be spectacular. It didn't look that great from the holes I saw from the hotel.

Very bad golfing experience. Another set of courses played to ruin because of the way DeVere manages its corporate side. Far too expensive for what you get. Much better courses nearby. Terrible customer service.

Really can't say that I was terribly impressed. Our twenty strong Society played both courses last Saturday with a starting time of 0940 on the Cheshire.This was booked last November. I learned upon check in that the scheduled time for a round on this course is 4 hours 20 minutes. Simple mathematics made one realise that it would be unlikely that the last few groups would make the second round on the Nicklaus commencing at 1440 before nightfall as indeed turned out to be the case. The situation was not helped by the rough on the Cheshire that had been allowed to grow too long in the sense that play was considerably slowed looking for balls in the first cut of rough - a point acknowledged by the starter on the 1st tee. The second nine are a big improvement over the first nine but overall reasonably ok. The Nicklaus course is not at all impressive with largely flat holes and numerous bunkers. The only points of interest are the two holes where you either play round the fairway or opt for the straight drive to the green across the lake.

The catering at lunch was fine for quality of food but oh how unhelpful were the catering staff - can't do this, can't do that, should have booked before - all the things and attitudes that considerably try the patience.

I am afraid that I certainly wouldn't bother coming back for more.

Played the Nicklaus course for the first time and was very impressed. The numerous water hazards and double option fairway make it a golf course for the "thinking person." The chesire course it also impressive and i agree that the back nine is excellent. The facilities with the both courses are excellent.
