The Best Golf Courses in Barton Upon Irwell, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom (2025)

It was a wonderful place and a pleasure to be there. I just wish it had been under better circumstances. The food & drinks were all very good and surprisingly inexpensive

Had a wonderful family Christmas lunch at the Golf club, the food was great and the staff were so attentive as always. Special mention to Debbie, Barbara and Tony who always go the extra mile to ensure a lovely time. All the staff were excellent 👍🏻 Look forward to my next visit 💯

1st time at chorlton cum hardy golf club. Quite a tight course in places, so being straight is a massive bonus. Was pleasantly surprised by the condition of the course. It was in very good condition. Friendly staff and good facilities. Even met Golfmates Liam Harrison and EBAY Pete. Nice people. Would recommend this course to everyone.

Fab local club with varied golfing challenges. Quite tight in places! Plays short in summer but need to place it well. The back nine is easier but watch out for the tricky (but very good!) greens. A golfers oasis in the south of the city.

Decent Parkland⛳️Good conditions, Some Interesting holes😉 Just Playing The Par3’s Is worth the visit Alone; Greens rolling nice and true⚡️Very scoreable If Swinging 🏌🏻‍♂️🔥

I've been walking around this beautiful place during 2020 lockdown in UK. I can't stress enough how much I appreciate its been located just across the street. I thought it would be nice to contribute with some photos I took. Have fun all golf lovers it's a perfect place for your game!

We had a great day! Wonderful welcome, top hospitality and brilliant course. Our golf society Can’t wait to return so we’ve already booked for next year!!!

Whitefield golf club is a hidden gem in the north west of England. The greens are a treasure and there is a hole for every type of golfer. Our golf society continually chooses Whitefield because of the golf but come back for the hospitality they offer. If you’re organising a society day here, don’t hesitate, just book it.

Regular visit for our golf society. Always a warm welcome and excellent food and service provided by catering staff. Course in very good condition for this time of year despite some very wet weather.

Great value for money. £30 a round, £25 for a buggy. Course in really good nick. Greens excellent. Staff very friendly. My first time but i ll be back soon!

Excellent lunch time meal with my partners old work colleagues. Food was expertly prepared and extremely tasty. The views from the dining room across the golf course were excellent. The dining area was on the 1st floor and a stairlift had been fitted, easy to use for disabled visitors. Ample parking for both able bodied and disabled visitors.

Played as a visitor after another rainy period. Got there about an hour early for a bit of a practice, pro and members very friendly. Managed to tee off a bit early as the course wasn’t very busy. Course was in excellent condition, no temp greens and the course was pretty dry, greens were good and all bunkers raked. Had shower after as meeting friends and showers weren’t great but minor point really. Enjoyable round and would play again.

Bolton's answer to Augusta, rolling pine lined holes with fast undulating greens. Always in great condition, the course has 2 loops of 9 that bring you back to the clubhouse, great if you only have time for 9 holes or are meeting friends. With some of the best views across Lancashire & Cheshire away to North Wales, always worth a visit.

Bolton old links was a really good folf course. Some really deep difficult bunkers well placed. Must avoid at all cost. Greens were absolutely amazing. Some tee shots are blind, but hole map on every tee helps. Course knowledge is definitely an advantage here. Fairways are generous and rough is punishing. A great course overall.

Bolton Balloon Fairies was asked to create a Balloon Wall around our 4 foot LED Numbers and what a gorgeous room they have for hire for functions. It's an upstairs room and is very large holding a couple of hundred people. Car park is spacious and bars are on both floors. Highly recommend 👌

Fantastic course we'll maintained greens a fantastic very fast only took the front nine to get used to them🤣

Wow, what a fantastic course with great views all the way round. Superb variety of holes and some tricky par 3s too, and plenty of wildlife to admire. Bit of up and down but nothing to steep so great exercise too. Will be back again, hopefully when the weather is a little less windy.

Oct 7th 24 Just back from a first visit to this club. Great condition all round. The best greens I've played all season. Unfortunately no bar or food on today.( like most clubs on Monday.) A bit of a long narrow lane up to the club but will definately return

Nice club, cracking views, great greens on an interesting parkland / moorland course. Staff and members were a friendly bunch.

A quirky course that will test every aspect of your golf game and legs! Great views from 19th and a fine pint await those who venture here. Staff friendly and attentive.

Course generally in good condition with very good greens. A very hard walk on the back 9 with elevation changes and large distances between some greens and tees. Quite dangerous in places hitting over greens and also greens near tees. Friendly clubhouse with good price food and drinks.

Went hear for a meal the food was great the service very good the only thing I found issues with was parking there was no disabled parking and the parking bays so tight one could not open the car door without hitting another vehicle

Great course with well kept greens. Friendly atmosphere among patrons and superb food in the clubhouse.

I played here twice in June 2024, once in pouring rain at the beginning of the round. The course was immaculate with very well kept fairways. The greens were smooth, fast, and challenging. The rough was closely cut and there wasn't any great amount of debris under or around the trees. There was no waterlogging despite the English rain. The course isn't hugely difficult for a high handicap player but it does require some course management and a deal of care on the greens, some of which don't appear to have any level surfaces. The clubhouse is modern and comfortable. The bar staff are very friendly and helpful. I enjoy this course and I have heard good things from my brother who is a member for six years. Green fees were very reasonable too.

Lovely course well laid out and well presented. The course is highly maintained and frequently updated in regards to pin locations. There is fair pricing for a golf round, and the golf professional is polite and friendly with good knowledge to help with your golf swing and course advice.

Fantastic course with some of the best greens in the Manchester area. Very friendly staff and members. It is well worth a visit.

I attend our weekly business meeting here every Thursday with BNI. Great facilities and the catering team serve up a fantastic buffet breakfast.

Played MGC this morning for the first time. Conditions were great, save a few spots on a few fairways which the grounds crew are doing an outstanding job of repairing. The views are beautiful and the property overall is just enjoyable to be on. Add to it that the weather cooperated and was a fairly sunny day. Next time I’m back in Manchester I’ll absolutely try to get another round in.

Played an open day here, staff super friendly, golf course was in great condition and the back 9 was brutal (made harder with windy conditions). Really enjoyed it though and the food afterwards was lovely!

Wow loved this course, the greens are ‘spot on’ really well maintained and a good looking course with super views. Large open fairways and firm green. A few issues on the back nine battling leather jackets and some GUR but to be expected given the wet weather. Really enjoyed the course, it has a ‘classy feel’ and a must if you are in the area. Finished off with a great breakfast in the club house. I looked at the practice area with a good driving range with Trackman but the green is still under development. I paid £60 using GolfNow great value and the best course I have played in Manchester so far, thanks

Golfers heaven Have played here the day after immense heavy rain in the north west of England, I was surprised at good of condition the course was in Fantastic setup with chipping area, driving range and large putting area. Nets are available for another means of a warm up prior to your round. The staff are superb in particular Julie, the manger who had no trouble in moving my tee time earlier Unfortunately I never had time to stop for food but I will do on my next visit.

I can't comment on the golf course but the function room is nice. Good food, well stocked bar and welcoming staff.

We recently had our wedding at Denton Golf Club, and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The staff ensured everything went smoothly and exactly to plan, making our special day stress-free and enjoyable. The room was beautifully presented and created the perfect atmosphere for our celebration. Also, the food was exceptional. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team to make our day so memorable. We highly recommend Denton Golf Club!

Golf course just getting back to its playing best after all the rain. Greens staff doing a great job, the course can now only get better. Good test of golf. Week done

Great location and venue The function room was excellent!! With great service from the staff! Unfortunately, I attended a beravement.

Went on a society day and have no complaints at all. Course was excellent, green's were superb. Food and service after golf was top class a very enjoyable day.

Nice course. Good, inviting fairways from the tee box. Some long par 4s and a 210 yrd par 3. 16th drives over the 4th green, so it can cause a little bit of a wait. 6th has a ditch right on driver distance running across fairway be careful. 9th hole par 3 very tough, good-looking hole. Overall, it was very nice, not too hilly course. Proshop and clubhouse are very good.

Having been a member previously, I was happy to play a round last week, to my delight, I cannot tell you the improvements that have been made to the course. Rob (head green keeper) and his team have improved the course and the ascetics 10 fold. The greens are in the best conditions I’ve ever seen them, the fairways and second cuts are cut to perfection and the general upkeep is second to none. Well done Rob and team for the great improvements and attention to detail. Definitely well worth a visit if you looking for a round of golf.

Great welcome in the pro shop , very friendly .Only played 9 holes as a visitor but wow , the best greens I've played hands down all year. The front 9 had some really lovely holes ,especially the par 3 9th. Will 100% be going back 100% credit to the greenstaff. Pics of the 9th green and also looking back to the 9th tee. Superb hole.
