Caldy Golf Club: Like nearby Heswall, much of this golf course is played on gently undulating and relatively open parkland alongside the popular Wirral Way (see Did You Know section below).
Caldy serves up a real treat after you've played just two holes. Starting at the dog-legging par-4 3rd, the following eight holes are played on the west side of the walkway - only a small cliff separating you from the expansive River Dee estuary.
With or without the wind, the toughest stretch of holes on this layout embraces the par-4 4th, par-5 5th and par-4 6th, which all hug the cliffs and run closest to the estuary - hooking your ball into the Dee is not an uncommon occurence. From virtually all parts of the course there are pleasant inland rural views, while in the other direction, impressive vistas over the Dee estuary are accentuated by the hills and mountains of North Wales beyond.
With good standards of maintenance throughout, you should certainly be set for an enjoyable round here at Caldy; hopefully the weather will also be cooperating.
Visitors welcome on weekdays; more restricted on weekends.
Must book in advance. Handicap required.

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with five wins out of her last five starts on the LPGA Tour. Winning the Chevron Championship also brought the second major championship win of her career.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda's five wins in five starts, when he placed second at the Houston Open. Either side of that, he won The Arnold Palmer, The Players, and then The Masters and The Heritage.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
