    ? for uk members

    hi
    has anyone played ellesmere golf course in walkden on the outskirts of manchester?
    i am looking to join a club locally and they are advertising a special offer on memberships!
    i have never played the course myself but i have been on their website and the course and the facilities look excellent.
    they are charging £500 joining fee and £687 for the green fees and that will last untill renewal is due in april 2008. is that a good deal?
    any advice appreciated

    Awight Slats!

    Not played there but I've just changed golf clubs, and £687 for over a year is a good deal mate. Course looks ok from the pics on the website.

    If you're interested in seeing the golf club I play at, go to:

      Gets a good write up.

      "Course excellent; Professional very helpful and friendly. The overall opinion of the society was one of good value and friendliness.



      Excellent day out; good course and clubhouse - a 'must return' venue.



      Friendly welcome - pleasant and helpful staff. We would definitely consider returning. We enjoyed the day and course very, very much."
      As long as you play regularly it looks a good deal based on their standard green fee - and once a member you can bar that cheating colleague of yours.

        hi robin
        thanks for that link
        apparently the course holds up really well in the winter.
        with that in mind i would be looking to play 70-80 round a year so i will get VFM.
        wont be inviting the colleague to play although dont think he will want to play as i gave him a pasting today

            Looks good. I see it is a private Members Club which is good, this tends to limit pay and play which in some clubs can overwhelm the course on weekends.

            I see they have a special offer, does this give limited access?

              Hi Slats,

              Looks really nice mate, I thnik I will have to come and play it with you before I decide.

              I agree with Brian, it will improve your game also as you will find members golf is a little less wild.

              Go for it son.

              Ian.

                  the pro is giving me the guided tour saturday morning and then 18 holes straight after.
                  it seems the best all round package in my area

                    Are the 18 holes free as well?

                    You may never need to join a club

                        Good luck mate - if it was me then those 18 would be my worst for a month.

                        Now let me see, Ellesmere can't be that far from the Wirral for when I make my occasional foray to the NW.
