Great course, hilly and challenging

Very windy day made golf challenging, exposed course with hills. Great greens, only minor issue is drainage as some standing water. Overall would highly recommend.

Exceptional Value For Money

Can’t put into words how impressed I am with this course, what an absolute gem.

Paid on a hot deal and loved every second of it. Every hole is different, complete test of golf with elevation changes; green positioning and design, bunkering the whole package.

For £21.99 I haven’t played anywhere better value. This place should be easily double.

Five stars.

A Gem

What a fabulous course. Mature parkland / moorland mix. Tucked away in East Lancs great views, some incredibly interesting holes. Greens true and quick. Imagine when the wind blows it could be a beast as it is pretty high and exposed.

A new low

Ruined by an officious clubhouse staff member who drove up to the first green and told me and my son that we would be escorted off the course if we played off the fairway again without a matt.

We forgot matts sorry and didn't know the ruiles which is entirely our fault but it didn't warrant being spoken to like that.

Lovely track but we won't be playing there again.

First day out

Got together with mates for our first day out this year (and it's mid April!). Course was in excellent condition given the weather we have had in recent days/weeks/months!!! Fully open unlike others is testament to the greenskeepers, top work guys/gals. Hope to return when weather and conditions improve.

Underwelming

Flat and underwelming. And dog walkers walking anywhere they want! A stray dog on the fairway!
Worst course in Lancashire for enjoyment.
