Shocking - Do not play Blackburn golf club
I am not a person to write a review, but today me and 2 friends played golf here and it took 3 hours to play 11 holes when we decided to walk off.
The 3 ball we had today were all category 1 golfers and have experienced golf from across all of the country. The experience we had today was by far the worst of all.
After nearly being hit 10 times whilst playing the course the way it’s meant to be played, we decided it was enough and time to call it a day. Whilst walking off we saw at least 3 groups all drinking on the course and playing as if it were a pitch and putt.
We also witnessed a violent altercation on the course which pretty much topped the day off.
If you have any sense you will not play this golf course. Stay in your garden and hit balls into the net as it is far more fun.
The quality of the course is shocking also. There are divots on the greens which have been repaired tragically, there has been no attempt to rake bunkers and the car park is one of the most dangerous I’ve ever seen.
Please either save yourself some money and not play or play elsewhere.
Blackburn Golf Club
The course all in all is a good course, the layout is good with lots of different holes, challenging enough to, greens ran a little slow but obviously these challenging times have a lot to do with that, also I’d spoke to 4 different groups that were playing at different courses the day before and the green feedback from them was the same,, to be honest I’d definitely go back and play the course again, can imagine over the next couple of months with the weather and everything back to normal the course will be a belter, so yes I’d definitely recommend Blackburn Golf Club and look forward to playing there in the future, also my tee off time was 7:45am and there were green keepers out there at that time working hard so they are all really good signs for the coming weeks and months. See you soon Blackburn Golf Club and thank you
Brill
Booked Blackburn for £18 what a bargain
Hadn’t played there for a while but it’s a cracking course
Friendly staff and members
Thanks again
Quality
I usually play Blackburn when I get chance after work so we're always rushing round however this time we had an early tee and the weather was amazing.
Called into the shop and the pro was friendly and had a chat with us.
The course was in brilliant condition fairways were unreal and the greens were class.
The course itself is challenging enough and the members are always up for a chat and a laugh as you pass eachother.
The round itself isn't too expensive and the state of the course made it a bargain I've played some really expensive rounds and had worse conditions.
Decent condition for time of year
Played today only been open a week since lockdown. Was a pretty decent condition greens had a bit of sand on but still pretty flat course was very dry. Be in top condition again in a month like it was last year. Would play again love the lay out
Value for money
Nice course some great holes both up and down hill. Played day after lockdown restrictions had been eased so really enjoyed it. Members were friendly and pace play was spot on. Only downside was it was bit boggy in places and greens were not in the best condition but the weather ain't been the best so you could see the green staff getting them back in decent nick with better weather to come. Nice course.
Decent course, not exceptional
Reasonable course, little boggy in parts and have played on better greens but not too bad.
Hidden Gem
We always make a trip to Blackburn GC. It’s always a nice place to have a round. A great variety of holes. I wouldn’t say it was a hilly course but it does have a lung busting hill back end of the back nine. The course is always kept nicely with green keepers working away. There was sand on the greens but they ran well. No problem with the sand it’s just that time of year and it has to go on at some point in the year. Clubhouse was very welcoming even with the new restrictions. The steward couldn’t do enough for us.
All in all a brilliant day!!!
Recommend
Although a bit of a challenge to find a few holes and tees. This is a brilliantly maintained course, I paid £15 per person and consider that a bargain compared to other recent courses visited.
Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend anyone to visit. Front 9 is a bit hilly but is more downhill on the back 9.
Fantastic
One of the best courses I've played this season, only bad point it rained heavily all the way round and the greens were a little soggy, but would happen on any course, will play again when it's better weather!!!
Fantastic Course
Played there for the first time, very good course , greens were brilliant, couple of steep hills to walk up, was a little wet in parts but really couldn’t fault the course, staff were very friendly aswell, Will definitely go back and may look to organise a society day there
Improved overall
Enjoy playing here. Fairways are superb, greens are getting better each week. Like how the ground staff have cut away some heavier rough this season. Also, some of the colours flowering around the course are lovely.
Staff are always helpful and friendly.
Great course
Played this course today for the 1st time. Course is in great condition and Staff were extremely welcoming On arrival,
Highly recommended and will visit again I’m sure.
Winter playing
