Cleeve Hill GC just gets better and better.
The evil but wonderful 13th green, the green that sits inside the ancient Iron Age hill-fort ramparts and overlooks from on high the Severn Valley, Cheltenham, The Malverns etc. Gorgeous.

The 2022-23 Winter Tour has been in the main relegated to playing a few courses, but many times. Cleeve Hill has been the main target of the Tour. The new management have improved the greens immeasurably in the past few years and the course is in excellent nick this winter. Please see updated tour.

Sean,


Love to see your comparisons of Formby, West Lancs, Hillside, and Southport and Ainsdale.


I played them all last September and enjoyed each but would be hard pressed from one play to rate them. I did enjoy West Lancs the best but I can only say because it seemed simpler.

I have only played two of those (Formby and West Lancs).  And like you, only once, so I wouldn't want to rate them.  But West Lancs was a surprise to me.  It doesn't get a great deal of attention here but I really, really enjoyed it.

Formby has always been my clear favourite of this lot. Although, the small footprint, intimate S&A holds strong appeal. It was heavily over treed when I visited. I am happy to say that problem is largely resolved. Somewhat similar to Formby, S&A has a highly entertaining variety of holes with some standout old school features. I am impressed. But hey, they are all good courses.

I took the train from Liverpool to Southport. It was lovely to see all the courses spread along the tracks.
