GPS didn’t match my app.
A great experience here, I use The Grint app when playing golf and the course layout was not the same as the layout on the App. However, this does not take anything away from how good it is at Formby Hall.
Great warm up
Lovely little par 3 course. 9 holes with some excellent challenges for all abilities. Im a 20 handicap and thoroughly enjoyed it
Not good to play if it has been raining or is raining
Not great as the weather was very bad and they wouldn’t let me change my day as short notice. Only played 4 holes and had to call it a day as it was flooded, slippy and very dangerous to play on. Wouldn’t recommend playing maybe a good course if the weather is really nice. I did try and ring the day we were there but no answer, so I rang the day after to tell them about it and they said there is nothing they could do. They were very blunt and a little rude on the phone to me as this was my first time visiting the corse, after being recommend by a friend to play. I had payed for 18 holes for 4 people, but could only do 4 holes. I mentioned this on the phone to the golf club house but told me there was nothing they could do and it was our choice to play. I thought this was very rude and they could have done something for us. I asked if we could at least return to do our other 9 holes but told me this was against there policy and we would have to pay again if we wanted to play. I have played many courses up and down the country but never had an experience like is and such little help. Also to mention the bridge was very slippy covered in moss and water not safe at all. Overall I am very unhappy and upset as they weren’t helpful and were not willing to help or organise a rebooking for all of us. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone unless you are playing in the best weather England can provide or you don’t mind a very dangerous flooded course.
Very Good Par Three Course
Very good course. A great test of your short game, in great condition
Perfect for your short game
I’ve played here several times now , it’s a great course
Plenty of water makes it a good challenge, brilliant for your short game, the tees are a bit hacked but you'd expect that
And the greens are in excellent condition, love it !!
Nice little course
Lovely little par 3 course with some interesting holes, including one with an island green! Course was in excellent condition, the greens were immaculate when we visited. Course was nice and quiet too for 8 out of 9 holes, unfortunately we were held up for a good 10 mins on the last tee because of what appeared to be a junior lesson taking place on the green.
Not the best VFM though at £25 for 9 holes of par 3 golf.
Great course for beginners
I only started playing a few months ago at Formby and this was my first time on the course. It is a fantastic course to start my golf journey. Highly recommend playing it!! Got some great holes and was a good test of skill.
Very short but sweet
The course was beautiful and in good condition, especially for the time of year. With that said I didn’t feel I was getting good value for money. We played in a two ball and were by no mean rushing round, we both lost a couple of balls along the way and spent time looking for them, but we still finished in just about an hour. At £25 each for 9 par 3 holes with no option to play the course twice, I felt overcharged.
A once wonderful PGA PAr 3 now in awful condition
The Par 3 course at Formby Hall used to be in top notch condtition and indeed has held PGA Comps and and appeared on a cerain golf influencer's channel. Formby Hall have let this once magnificent Par 3 nine hole course go to rach and ruin.
The greens are unkempt and now full of moss, this was not always the case of once lush greens. It is clear that the head professional and golf greenkeeping staff are no longer focused ont he par 3 and use this as a cash cow. I used to pay the Woodhey Dunes weekly but this is now in a condition as poor as a municipal course.
Sorry to tel ladies and gentleman that the Woodhey Dunes is no longer value for money and until the PGA professional and green keeping staff pay a great focus to this area of the complex, it might as well close as it will soon become unplayable.
Not sure what Dave and his team are doing about this, but staff in the shop are very defensive when you complain about the state of the course
Par 3 course
Nice greens a lot of water some nice holes but bunkers were terrible not worth the money at all
