Top hint for this course
At the end of the front nine, a dogleg right with trees and bunkers stands between you and the dancefloor. Drive down the centre left of the fairway to avoid the first bunker and trees, then use the second shot to carry over the two bunkers and land on the green.
Full Course Lowdown
The star of this golf resort. Named the "Golf Course of the Year" in 1995, and it's no surprise. A unique blend of hazards and tests has created an exciting course across a whopping 7,073 yards for golfers looking to test their skills.
Grab the squad and see who can overcome the distinctive challenges.
Course
The first is an easygoing start (if you have a straight drive) as avoiding the bunkers on either side of the fairway shouldn't be a problem. It's reachable in two strokes, with a large back end to the dancefloor making it easy to avoid the front bunkers.
The 5th is a length par-3 standing at 215 yards. A solid tee-off straight down the middle should see you land on the green without any issues.
The 14th is a par-3, with the dancefloor surrounded by a lake. If you've got a killer chipping game in your locker, you should hit the pin with ease. Another large green makes it rather easy to hit from the tee box.
As far as closing holes go, this one is straightforward. At 431 yards, it's reachable in two but bear in mind the bunkers surrounding the green. Favour accuracy over distance as you go further down the fairway. A par would gain some respect from the gang.
Clubhouse
The Lounge & Bar provides comfy armchairs for you to kick back and relax. Order the steak and chips to refuel and have some well-earned swing oil to wash it down.
With live sports, you can catch up on all the action, count up your scorecards with the gang and discuss all the blunders.. Maybe hand out a forfeit to the person who hit the water the most?

Aside from the four-star resort, the local area, Tarporley, is just a mile away. It has plenty of hotels for accommodation and restaurants or bars to keep you busy after the fairways.
The nearest city is Chester at 12.1 miles away and it doesn't disappoint.
They say big things come in small packages, and this small city does exactly that. Bouncing nightlife, fancy restaurants and plenty of sights make Chester an underrated city to visit.
