Delamere Forest Golf Club

Prachtige membersclub, geweldige sfeer en historie. Beetje kort, maar uitdagend.

Played Delamere Forest GC for the first time last week, and WOW! Absolutely outstanding, a lot of work has gone on over the winter, looks like a lot of gorse removal, I think? New design on the 15th looks amazing! Lovely open view and played like a links, fast, bouncy and a real challenge. The greens were a pleasure to putt on, great pace and silky smooth! If anyone is in the area I would recommend a visit, you won’t be disappointed. Back again in a couple of month and cannot wait.

I discovered a challenging, fast running layout with an ever increasing heathland feel to it and wonderful rolling terrain. There’s a real natural appearance to the course with lots of width, bags of character and the sandy fairways were an absolute joy to play from. This is my type of inland golf.

The rough had also been cut back at this time of year so the course was infinitely playable with bags of strategy although I can imagine much straighter hitting is required during the summer months.

The two nines at Delamere both start and finish close to the wonderful ‘black and white’ clubhouse but are relatively contrasting in style. The front side is the stronger in my opinion although the inward half may be the more memorable and exciting for others.
