Cooler temps and a touch of rain this week have taken the course from burnt to a crisp to perfectly baked 🙌🏼 @FormbyGolfClub shaping up nicely for the weekend 😎🌲

6 months in @FormbyGolfClub (where did that go?) and loving every second of it! The club is full of great people which has made it very easy to settle in. The team continue to do an outstanding job, with member and visitor feedback highlighting just that 🙌🏼⛳️
Absolutely love the attention to detail @FormbyGolfClub @JoeBarnes24 taking our club up another level.

The @UK_Husqvarna robots have arrived on demo at @FormbyGolfClub, and they’re seriously impressive 🤖✨ Sustainable, quiet, and able to work through the night… but Cooper wasn’t entirely convinced! 😂

With the golfing season just around the corner @FormbyGolfClub, it was great to mark out the new tees on the 5th this morning. Looking forward to the first mow next week! 👌🏼⛳️

A very misty morning at @FormbyGolfClub today, which as the sun broke through, transformed into a glorious day on the links ⛳️☀️

The calm before the storm… Despite yesterday’s torrential rain, the course @FormbyGolfClub held up extremely well to provide a nice start to today. With Storm Darragh approaching the Sefton Coast overnight, we’re hoping for minimal impact as the winds rise tomorrow🤞🏼⛳️
