Well kept

This is currently my favourite course locally. There are some lovely par 3s. The course isn’t particularly complex but does have challenging greens. It has mature trees and wildlife and is just a pleasure to play. Ample parking and practice net, green and pitching area with bunker. The pro shop has some nice tackle and staff are friendly.

Nice course

Nice course. Friendly staff. Was held up by a womens society or comp but it can’t be helped. Very short front 9 quite a few short par 4s but well layed out. Greens a bit patchy and bitty but fast. Great views would play again for sure.

Very good course with amazing views

Our first time here and we were made very welcome.

The course is a little difficult to follow in parts so we kept an eye on the party in front. A seperate little card map would help first-timers.

Several challenging holes and only a couple of long ones. Spectacular scenery is visible all the way round the course.

The walk uphill from the 17th green to the 18th tee is brutal and people struggling with walking or energy will find this challenging. The reward for your efforts is a very steep hill all the way up to the 18th green.

A pint of well kept Wainwright's ale from the bar was a worthy reward for the effort. Sitting outside the clubhouse enjoying refreshments offers a panoramic view of the beautful surrounding countryside.

Final word is for the groundstaff. The fairways and greens were in superb condition. The best we've played on this summer. Well done!

Amazing course with views unsurpassed

An amazing course with the most dramatic views of Bolton abbey and the Warfe valley - I’ve not seen better scenery from any course I’ve played.With a challenging well maintained short course and very friendly welcoming staff in the pro shop and bar it’s hard to imagine a better round if golf.!

November golf

Lovely course, although fairly short par 69 still a nice test of golf and with the conditions being very good for November it was a lovely round of golf. Greens were a bit bobbly.

Really fun course, short but with plenty of character

Played here with a friend the other day. Short but good fun course with lots of character. For first timers round this course it is a bit tricky as there are no maps of the holes either on the score card nor on the tee boxes and there are many blind tee shots so either print something out before you go or use an app on your mobile phone to work out where the green might be. But other than that its a fantastic looking course with great views, some challenging but very satisfying holes.
Our round took us about 1hr 45mins but we were playing blind and didnt know the layout or play that well, so would expect faster next time round.
Probably the most fun 9 holes or golf under 2 hrs you can have in the area. Will definately be back for this little gem
