• Access

  Weekday and weekend visitor rates published; all times subject to availability. Winter work November–February may include greens maintenance.

• The catch

  A 50% non-refundable deposit secures the booking, with full payment due 60 days before play.

• Our tip

  Ask for a caddie with your tee-time request: they're independent contractors and get booked up. Hall Road station is about 50 yards from the gate if you're staying in Liverpool.
