Breightmet Golf Course

Have played this course a few times. Staff and members always very friendly and ready to wave a single player through. A challenging, but very well maintained course. Hilly with some deep gullies as traps for the unwary but a very enjoyable game.

Good value for money

Owing to the recent poor weather the organisers had closed a number of holes. However, the amended layout was ideal and done in such a way as to enable a double nine hole round,
The course was in very good condition and the greens were excellent. Overall I would recommend this course.

Definitely a summer course

Front 9 holes are great. But beware the back 9 are horrible especially holes 12, 13 & 14. They’re all on a single hillside so you’re up down up and down again. The “fairways” were not in any decent shape at all on these holes after the wet weather and ruined the round to be honest. Apart from that the course was ok. Challenging with some lovely holes. Very thick rough so be careful or it will cost you some time and balls. Greens were in good nick all round, the holes could have been tidied up a little bit more but still ok. Would come back again but only after a week or two of hot dry weather.

13 holes only

I arrived for my round to be told only 13 holes open 1-11 & 17,18. There was no mention on their website it would have been nice to know this before booking. I have played the course many times now and it is usually in great condition. Greens were excellent however due to the persistent rain over the last few months some of the fairways were boggie

If it’s winter golf don’t bother!

If it’s winter golf don’t bother. Visited today, didn’t get informed till I got there 6 of the 18 were closed. Got stuck behind 2 gents for 15 minutes per hole and they wouldn’t let me through because “A single player isn’t recognised at this club” Also asked for directions and got pointed the wrong way by some members which I then saw them jump on the hole I was meant to play next. Also as you can see by the photo some greens were waterlogged. Informed the pro shop of all this when I gave up after 8 holes to which he replied “Okay”

Shame because looked like there was some nice holes.

Usual great standard

Played 9 holes twice due to back 9 closed, did not spoil our round as the 9 holes played are in great condition this is why we still gave it a 5 star review. As normal Ray in the shop was as helpful as always. Course amenities review only 3 star as the bar was being decorated otherwise this would be 5 star. Looking forward to playing again in the summer.

Would like to play in the summer

It was disappointing to turn up and find out that 9 of the holes were closed and they we needed to play off mats, would have been useful for this info to have been provided on Golf Now. Having said that, the course looked very good and our 4 ball agreed to arrange to play it again in the summer, when fully open. The greens were in very good condition. The course looked like it would be challenging when warm and dry and the summer, with the sloping fairways, looks like it would be tricky to keep the ball where you want it.

Great course with varied greens

The course was fantastic, sadly the weather was not. Obliviously this isn’t the fault of the club, but even in the poor weather the greens were fantastic. And the course was perfectly looked after. We only play 9 holes twice due to said mentioned weather but the holes we played had interesting layouts which provided a challenge for both myself and my play partner. Can’t wait to get back out there in the spring and play the full 18z

Also the staff were amazing, very welcoming and friendly.

Only 9 holes open . The new 9 holes are shut during winter months due to drainage. This means you play the old 9 holes twice. Pros dad in the shop was very nice and welcoming. Joined two members who were a joy. Will go back in the summer

Best Greens I've played on all year

Really enjoyable variety of holes, with plenty of space to let loose on the drives, though that didn't stop a couple of OBs.

Greens were unbelievably pure and quick.

Pace was on slower side, but on a bank holiday packed full of four balls, not silly slow (4h 10.mins.)

Only criticism would be the layout of tee boxes and criss crossing of holes. There are times when it feels crammed in a little too close for comfort (e.g 3rd Hole approach.). Get ready to shout fore a lot (some golfers on the day could have done this more, we had golf balls land very close to us 4/5 times with no fore and not a gust of wind to blame).
