just finished playing mersey valley golf course.we were charged £15 each using 2 fore 1 voucher,even though it is £20 for a round! i asked the young lad why , but he didnt know. a lady in the back office came out to try and offer an explanation,but i think its just a way of them screwing you for an extra £5! course was ok,nothing special, worth the £15, lots of clover just off fairway where you WILL lose your ball! greens ok, didnt land in bunkers,but they didnt look too difficult.fairways full of weeds,but cut nice and short. tees were nice. small patches of casual water on fairway,but in fairness,it had rained heavy all night. a few ditches to fly,but club selection takes care of them.lots of young trees to avoid,but fairways wide enough to cope. It was a quiet day,no waiting, and invited a solo player to join us on the 5th.An elderly gent called bary, a recently new member, he seemed happy with the place.Barry left us at 9th,and we carried on.overall,not a bad course,but mix up with 2 fore 1 left a bad taste. some easy holes to play, so expect a couple of birdies,not sure why 14th is index 1, i would have put it at 17,but anyway..long par 3 to start back 9,15th is another par 3,with a pond just shy of green,better take extra 2 clubs here if wind picks up, i didnt! splash! might play course again,but its not in my top 20. didnt go in 19th,so cant comment,but it looked like a wooden cow shed from 18th green! tee it high, and let it fly.

A bland and uninspiring flat golf course with the strangest clubhouse I have ever seen. Played there for the first (and last) time 3 days ago, and my first impression was a collection of fields with flags dotted amongst them! Far to expensive for what you get, especially as there are better courses within a 10 mile radius.

i have played mersey valley loads of times and each time I return there it gets worse. The fairways USED to be good but now have weeds on them, the tees aren't flat, that greens are bobbly and untrue. The worst part about all of this is that they ask for £250 for annual junior memberships which is way too high for such a medioka golf course.

Played this course as a 2 ball under the 2for1 voucher.The course was in superb condition,the best i have seen it.The course is quite an easy walking course but there are some tough holes if you stray offline with trees and deep rough to contend with,as i found out to my cost.The staff and members are nice and friendly and there is a nice pint and bar food in the 19th hole,just to finish off a good day.All in all,a good course and they accept 2for1,bonus.There is also a security guard to keep an eye on things whilst you are playing,no need to worry about the motor.

Mersey Valley, located not far from Warrington town centre, is a relatively new parkland course with a host of decent holes.

We played there as a four ball on a Sunday, the pro shop was being refurbished so there was only a temporary reception which stocked just the basic essentials.

The course starts with a mid length par 4 with out of bounds to the left, a simple enough hole if kept straight.

Holes to look out for -

4th - Short par 4 which doglegs sharply to the left, longer hitters may favour an iron off the tee leaving a short iron in.

11th - Standard length par 4, a well placed drive is required short of a brook to a well protected green. Anything right might be lost.

The course is relatively flat and, unfortunately, rather uninspiring. The holes lack character and whilst the course has matured over the years, it's still a bit like a field with bunkers.

The clubhouse was a bit small but served a decent menu - it's looks a bit of a shack from the outside though, not sure what the architect was thinking when they designed it.

On a postive note however the greens were good and the tee's well manicured - each hole had a 15o yard marker as well as tee markers.

There are however better courses to play in the local vicinity.
