Excellent value Round

Nelson is not the longest, or most challenging course, but it is beautifully kept- the greens are the best I've played in Lancashire. The staff and members alike were friendly.

The green fee from teeofftes (a hot deal) meant it was extraordinary value.

Thoroughly recommended.

Excellent course

Was made very welcome in the club shop before playing our round and things only got better. Course was in excellent condition and thoroughly enjoyed! Highly recommended a visit although off the fairways can be punishing.

First Time Playing

Nelson GC superb course

Played nelson GC for the first time today 23/4/2017, the course was in a fantastic condition greens running nice and fast, not a long course but can seem to play long if the wind is up and your not a long hitter, some very tricky holes make the course very interesting, will defiantly be going back more than a few times this year to play again,only one problem we came across, the score cards could do with a course map on the back because if your playing here for the first time it can get a bit confusing where your heading, but apart from that excellent course would highly recommend ten out of ten.
