Great course
Fantastic course and I’ll definitely be back playing. Great variance in holes and some fantastic natural obstacles to work around. It was a bit expensive at £30 on a Monday morning at 10am when nobody else was playing there (£30) and the amount of grass cuttings on every hole a little strange, this slowed the ball a lot which was a shame. Also the layout is a bit all over the place and the signs aren’t all that clear.
But very minor complaints on what is a fantastic course.
Not the best day to play
Unfortunately the heavens opened on the first green and we had to make cover under a tree for 40 minutes. Would have walked off but had no way to get a refund or credit.
Course is well kept, interesting and challenging.
Signage is poor though, very difficult to see where your next tee shop is from, so layout not the best. Could easily be sorted.
Scorecard also doesn’t have a course map so you are guessing where to play a shot sometimes.
Would be good to know the times of the pro-shops on all courses as had to go in the bar and hunt down the scorecards.
If there a request refund if you can’t finish a round?
Challenging back 9, great course
Lovely course that gives you a tree lined front 9 then a open hilly moor course on back 9, like 2 courses. Some very long par 4 holes that are uphill and we had wind in faces so a solid tee shot then a good fairway shot still left us 100 yards from greens . Very enjoyable and will play again
New Course
Really enjoyed the course. Lovely views. A bit hilly but worth it for the views.
Best course and greens played this season
This was in such brilliant condition greens were equivalent to axeminster carpet
Amazing Greens
The course is in an amazing condition with great fast true greens. I didn’t like the layout of the course and the tee boxes and scorecard had no pictures of the hole to help people playing the course for first time.
The Greens are superb
Only 15 holes open, playing off matts and no signage to locate the next tee made our visit to Darwen GC difficult with a lot of wasted time wandering around the course! Could be good for Summer golf,
Lovely course
It's a calf burner on some of the holes but catch it on a nice day and you've got some seriously good views. Love the 16th par 3.
It’s what it says on the tin
Incredibly welcoming and friendly staff … we were greeted by the GM !! The ground staff were keen to talk too… Greens are in outstanding condition ….Lots of challenging holes in a spectacular setting….I would imagine in winter it would be even more challenging tho ….It’s a must play if you in the area …
Excellent course
Great course if a little hilly on back nine. View at the top was worth it though. Only one comment, could do with a few more signs to help with the layout and direction to next holes.
Much improved
I played Darwen many times a few years ago. The condition of the course is much improved. Only rated as extremely challenging because of slopes across fairways. Well done ground staff!
Great condition, tough but enjoyable
It was very windy on my visit, but the course was in great condition, the staff were friendly and the members helpful when I couldn't find some of the tee's
Vista's delight.
Lovely course sat on the moors.
Amazing views.
Course & greens well manicured, greens firm & running true.
Variety of holes, several dog legs & lovely par 3's ( especially the 16th) aptly named" the postage stamp".
Played early so no hold ups, credit to the green staff letting me play on & having a chat with them.
I'd advise using a electric trolley, unless your superfit, it's very steep & undulating on many holes.
Can't comment on the food & drink, but the clubhouse looks lovely from the outside & inviting.
