Vicars Cross Golf Club

Played on 15th September 2009. Vicars Cross is a mature pretty course with gentle undulating terrain just off one of the main roads leading to Chester. Some of the greens have severe slopes and and a number of the pin placements on the day bordered on sadistic. However, there are some very nice holes and I would certainly return if I was in the area.

Played during a short business trip to Cheshire. The course was easily found, the welcome was not special, but Ok. Interesting course, some nice holes. It was in quite good condition, the fairways and bunkers well kept.
The greens we generally smooth and ran well. They were very variable - some of them were quite different in character to others which is a bit strange.
It had rained a bit before our visit, and a couple of holes were a bit sploshy, so maybe a visit in winter wouldn't be such a good idea.
Didn't try the catering, but the clubhouse was well appointed if a bit faded.
Overall, really enjoyed the course and might well revisit on a future trip

Took the two lads on a camping holiday round Chesire and played several courses. Vicars Cross was pretty good whilst not being outstanding.
Started well before we set foot on the course as we arrived well early and the lads had a few games of snooker whilst I watched the cricket. Not every club would allow juniors on the table.
An interesting start with dog legs on the first two holes, just the start you want when playing for the first time! Course was well maintained and greens true with some cunningly placed ditches. Finishing par 3 probably the best hole.
Just the weather spoilt the day - hailstone in August a real joy.
Back for another game of snooker and a pint. not bad.

Being a Junior member of Vicars Cross, i vigorously urge people to come and have a knock on thisn great course. Undoubtedly one of the finest examples of parkland golf in the region, packed full of challenging holes, the 11th and the 16th just to name a couple, with full practice facilities from a pitching zone, chipping area and a 350 yd long driving range, and a club atmosphere that i have never peersonally felt equalled by other cpourses i have visited. On the whole a fantastic social arena, aswell as having one of the most interesting, challenging and breathtaking layouts in the county, if not the surrounding regions aswell.

Credit should be given to the staff and members of Vicars Cross for making this one of the most delightful golf expierences that anybody would enjoy.The course is in brilliant condition with every hole as enjoyable as the last one furthermore the attitude of staff and members is a breath of fresh air, even the manager of the junior team who earlier in the week had seen his team lose out on a place in the national finals at the Belfry, after two of the opposing side had returned with points scores of 46 and 49.

This is a wonderfull course in very pleasant surroundings. There are a few notable holes on the course namley the 9th only 254yds off the yellow tees yet tough because of 5 bunkers! Making it extremly difficult to drive the green. Also take not of the 16th green a two teir left and right affair wich has vicious borrows in all directions!
