Course : Bromborough Golf Club in the Wirral

Course

Located in a mature part of the Leverhulme Estate at the heart of the Wirral Peninsula, Bromborough is renowned as a hidden gem of a Golf Course; “Wirral’s Parkland Jewel^®". For over 100 years golfers have been tackling the distinctive 18 holes that play between 6300 and 6600 yards depending on tees used. The quality of the course can be evidenced by its selection to host the English Amateur Matchplay Championship in 2005, English Men’s Seniors Championship 2003 and Cheshire Matchplay 2010.

The course is notable for its many species of trees, copses and ponds that all add to the visual appeal. USGA standard greens and the year round equable climate provide good playing conditions 12 months of the year with temporary greens very rarely in use.

The holes have been carefully fashioned utilising the natural contours of the land that are gently undulating rather than excessively hilly, with the holes around the turn providing a particularly good test of golf

You shouldn’t just take our word for it – this is what some of our visitors have said about their Bromborough experience:-

We brought 29 golfers with us on the day and having visited many courses in the area, I must congratulate you on the superb set up you have. Everyone one of our golfers expressed how good the course was and in particular the greens, the clubhouse and the reception from all of Geoff’s team was professional and very welcoming. We will definitely be visiting again in the near future.

“I have been visiting Bromborough for over 40 years and it is in better condition now than I have ever seen it. We have had a wonderful day’s golf.”

What a lovely parkland course with enough challenges for most club golfers. The course condition was excellent and the greens ran true so make sure you have read them correctly.
Best hole is the 9th which has real character even though I messed it up. If you don't get your tee shot right you will struggle to score.
Overall I enjoyed playing a course in great condition that had an open aspect but was deceptively challenging.
John Gallaway, July 2009

I thought the club coped very well with our large numbers, over 180 golfers, and the course appeared to be recovering well from the atrocious conditions this winter.

“I always enjoy coming to Bromborough and the course was in wonderful condition, remarkably so given the weather so far in 2010. I am impressed with the changes to the general course scenery which I am sure will prove to make the place even better”.

Course Projects - Winter 2011/2

The Course Improvement projects for this Winter and Spring are designed to focus on those areas that feedback has suggested we give priority to:
Improve the bunkers on Holes 1, 4 and 18. (You can see pictures of how they are taking shape below).
Level and improve the overall quality of many teeing grounds
Improve the drainage and firm up the fringes of greens and their surrounds
Aerate and fertilise the fairways to get the grass growing earlier to enhance playability.
Aerate the greens continuously during the winter to reduce thatch and then verticut in the Spring. (This should increase firmness and reduce the incidence of balls snaking and bobbling during the early part of the grass growing season).

As with any course improvement project we are hostage to the weather; an early start to the grass growing season would obviously be beneficial in bringing the course to prime condition for late April.
