From start to finish the whole day was fantastic! We arrived at 9am and a lovely lady member helped us to sign in and let us borrow a couple of mats explaining how and where to use them. She showed us around the facilities, nothing was to much trouble for her and she made us feel very welcome and at ease. We checked the course details on the main board which were very informative and well updated, then made our way to a well maintained practice area with a driving net, putting green, chipping area AND bunker! after warming up we made our way to the 1st tee which was well sign posted. Winter tees and greens were being used and despite the awful weather they were easily playable and well directed. Out on the course were a couple of groups of men who acknowledged us in a friendly manner and we felt relaxed and made the experience even better. The course offers up some tricky questions, the pond at 4 and the ditch and umpteen bunkers at 5!! the rest I'll let you discover!! We came off feeling great and glad we'd braved the weather for this lovely course and popped into the club house for a warmer. The hostess greeted us warmly and we ordered ham and cheese toasties which were absolutely delicious and much needed. The club house is very cosy and everyone we met were friendly and welcoming. We will definately be returning to Westhoughton GC, it's a lovely course in bad weather so in summer I bet it's stunning! Defo one to put on your "Must do" golf list!

From start to finish the whole day was fab! we arrived at 9am and a lovely lady member helped us sign in and let us borrow a couple of mats. She showed us around the facilities, nothing was too much trouble for her and she made us feel very welcome and comfortable as being new to golf it can be daunting. We checked course details on the main board which were very informative and helpful, then used the driving net, putting green and practice bunker..yes we even used the bunker lol!! before heading out to the 1st tee. The winter tees and greens were being used but despite the bad weather they were easily playable. There were a couple of groups of men out on the course at the same time, but we didn't feel rushed or harassed and they acknowledged us in a friendly manner. The course asked very good questions and tested us on numerous holes especially the pond at 4, the ditch and umpteen bunkers at 5! the rest I'll let you discover!!
