Stunner!

Early Sunday morning tee time. Biggest compliment I think you can give a course is that it’s fair. Tough holes & scorable holes. The 2 par 5’s on the back 9 have got to be up there for the best looking holes in Lancashire! Can’t wait to come back

Lovely course.

Not a bad thing to say about this course. Well maintained, easy enough to find myself round, and the staff were friendly + helpful.

I’ll definitely be making a return in the near future.

Excellent value

First time playing this course . Staff and locals
were very friendly. Course is challenging and being in east Lancs is hilly in places but not as bad as others .

Some excellent views and the course was in very good condition for the time of year .

Would definitely go back

Good Challenge - Great Variety

First time playing here and very impressed. Members and visitors alike all friendly and Covid restrictions well sign posted. Great course with a mixture of holes and some tremendous views to add. Once all the leaves on the trees have grown and the greens are up to full speed, this will be a great day out at a brilliant price. Highly recomended.

Tricky and tight course

The course was in ok condition given the rest it has had due to lockdown. There was a few areas of ground under repair, greens were patchy in places. It was extremely busy and play was slow.

First round back after lockdown, so course was understandably very busy. Course is a good challenge- very hilly, kept in nice condition. Greens a bit slow and bobbly though. Locals very friendly.
