1. Christobel Arnold ★★★☆☆

   Location is good - not far from home. Never stayed but sure room's would be nice. Service - at the bar/restaurant. This is where it goes downhill. Visit every week and the same member of staff has been working her shift when I visit. Shes all over thw place but not really getting jobs done, she will start to serve you give you 1 drink get distracted by something or someone else and leave you stood wondering when she'll carry on with your order, this is not acceptable especially when hot drinks are involved as one getting cold before she comes back to you and needs to ask "what was it you wanted " she becomes very distracted even if there is only 2 more tables being used. You get food before cutlery and shes constantly walking around looking busy but not looking after customers, used tables, or her bar. This week no saucers or biscuits with coffee and 2 different customers served while serving us. I am a barmaid and all these jobs are like spinning plates at busy times, but ive never been when its busy, and this is always the case. Shes pleasant enough but customers know bar etiquette, you get served as and when not in-between someone already through half their order A good barmaid can serve multiple people at once without anyone noticing but this woman cant manage that. Very disappointed for this every week. I no longer wish to go there.

   Interesting golf course. Greens can be bad condition and some parts prone to flooding. Great value at £15 but the £25 tee times are not great value given course condition. Relaxed atmosphere but regular slow play.

   Having played here multiple times in the past, at least 20 and always enjoyed it. I’ve not played at Malkins Bank Golf Course for about four years until today. I knew by the website that there were new owners and they understood the trial ahead of them to get this once great course back to its best. The new style club house is superb. More modern, welcoming and solid range of food and drink. Driving range is closed due H&S reasons, but not current owners fault. The course is still great to play. Undulating, narrow in places, risk and reward, and fun packed holes. Yes, the fairways and greens need work, but once again I knew this from the website and still thought £25 was a good price for the round. A good green keeper will need at least 12 - 18 months to work the magic, but it will be worth it. Today was the most fun I’ve had playing golf in a long time. Thank you.

   Played 19 August. Tees are worn, little grass and very uneven. Fairways are similar. Greens are terrible. Bare patches all over. Price has gone up for visitors this year. Value for money? 3 out of 10. We will not be going back and would not recommend. Only plus, very nice buggies.

   Me and my brother in law play here a couple of times a month we love the place can’t understand why it’s not busier, the course is lovely people welcoming and the double cheese burger with bacon is awsome

   Used to play here a lot and first time on for 10 years or so. Excellent value for money but greens definitely in need of some attention. Yes it's been dry recently but the greens are very patchy and full of leaves. This could be a great course

   Nice course, could be an excellent course. Open all year regardless of how wet it is...so good if you're desperate to play but very high roughs, poor bunkers, gets very boggy and too many leaves on some fairways makes it a regular challenge to find balls that's should be easy to locate.
