Best Golf Courses in Firswood, Greater manchester (2025)

Rating: 5 / 5

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!

the below from last year still stands, but today I'd add: Julie in organising event (for x40), and Evonne in hospitality, both worthy of additional plaudits 👏. Awesome 👌 day for R.I.G.S. 2023; The course was in great condition, awesome fairways and very tricky greens. A very nice clubhouse. The only v.slight let down was most bunkers bereft of sand.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Went for a buffet following the cremation of a dear friend. Lovely room with a balcony overlooking the golf course. Buffet was very good.

Rating: 5 / 5

One of the best 9 hole courses you’ll ever play! Easy to get to, just a few minutes from the M60. The course itself is long and a good test for any golfer. Green fees from £15. Bar and food prices are good, and the huge balcony cannot be beaten on a sunny day! ☀️⛳️🍴🍻

Jamie catered for our wedding at the golf club and the food was absolutely amazing. He put a lot of thought into our options and was extremely flexible and accommodating. All the staff there were friendly and professional. Thank you so much, all of our guests raved about the food and all loved it. Thank you 🙂

Really enjoy this 9 hole course, great condition given the rain we had recently, greens where the strong point of the course and ran very true. Very friendly staff

Me and My 2 boys contacted them to play when we travelled to Manchester from Boston in May 2023. They were very helpful and nice. Rental clubs were available, and course was a fun change from local Boston courses. Staff was great..... Recommend for a fun day.

Very good pitch and putt course, has plenty of features and challenges that will bring you back playing it again and again - no two rounds are the same. Generally has been well maintained and a few holes now have new teeing off mats however some need replacing.

Rating: 4 / 5

Great course. Fantastic views some really good holes. Ended up with a birdie and five pars. Shot under 100 for the first time. Only negative play was really slow. Got stuck behind two four balls and I was on my own. Some daunting tee shots but a great challenge

I’ve played here a lot over the years and the new guys running it have got it into the best condition I’ve ever seen it. Quite hilly and a lot of blind shots but if you’re hitting it straight it’s not a problem. Some excellent holes and some amazing views. One of the best courses in the north west without a doubt.

Rating: 5 / 5

Lovely golf course to play on. Highly recommended for beginners too. And the greens were outstanding, not a bit of moss/weed in them.

Rating: 5 / 5

Beautiful course. Friendly staff and members. 10th hole sign for No Drivers allowed on the hole needs to be more prominent. I totally missed it because the tee box is way in front of the sign. If it wasn't for a member telling me, I was hitting driver... Will definitely visit again

An enjoyable round of golf and never overly crowded. Teed off at 2pm and nobody followed us so me and wife had a great 3hours. Although not too many golfers were around the wildlife was just as entertaining. The route to the course is also as entertaining. It follows the line of the canal but needs resurfacing as the undulating road is part single, part double lane which you cannot speed down as unexpected cars appear around each sharp corner. The bar is ok but as I have designed many golf clubs in my time it could do with a good redesign to take advantage of the great surrounding landscape and aspects over the greens that surround the the club. There are the usual training rooms with in-house golf pro teachers for the young golfers wanting to learn the skills we older golfers would have wanted to have access to when we first started to learn the sport/pastime. Wonderful time playing golf in the sunshine.

Born and bred on this golf course, cannot reckonise any hole having said that it was 60 yrs ago. It was 1964 when I became a junior member...many famous faces I remember from coronation Street cast especially Eddie Shah who famously started up his own tabloid. Those were happy days and Eddie if you're still out there, give us a bell cos when you missed your shot on the seventh hole and you threw your brand new aluminum shafts into the tree, I didn't think you would go back a climb a tree at ur age

Great course that doesn't punish you too much off the tee's

Played here for the first time in the recent seniors open and it definitely wont be the last. The course was in extremely good condition and was a pleasure to play. Organisation was first class, staff were very friendly and helpful and the beer was tip top ! If you get the chance to play here then give it a go, you wont be disappointed, see you next year.

I played this course in their pairs open. The club house has real history built in 1939 and looks near identical to the clubhouse at Childwall and birkdale. Man United had pre match meal here years ago. The internal parts looks nice with revolving door, panelling etc. I did not lose a ball so it's all in front of you although I was lucky find my ball in the water on the third. On this hole go big and right because if you are not long enough a second tree near the green will prevent you hitting it. The starter was on hand at the first and officials in the club house to register, it was well organised. Pace of play was good but not knowing the course a few times those in front waited, then we waited for them and those waited for us. It's mainly hitting to places we think needs hitting and putting balls in wrong places. A few times we misclubbed and you end up bogey after hitting two good shots. Not a tree person but this course has plenty, all sorts colours and shapes and sizes, some I hit and lucky end up in the open or in play. I thought I heard a lot of woodpeckers only be to told there were lots of parrots leaving there. Lots flying round! The 18 is a great finishing hole with big trees in the way. I hit straight over, right and ended in trees but was able punch a little eight left of bunker and two putt par. Tip take on the left side if you can as the third will be easy. The first is a par three and a little testy but my partner got four for two. It helps with play as you need wait for green to clear, once you walk off the green back slightly to the second you'll find those in front gone. Keep a pace and it should work out. Around the green side bunkers etc is juicy rough, nice and green. It defines the greens great but does seem to grab the ball. I though I was into the green only to be in it. I found it tough getting a touchy/feelie shot out of it and left it well short. Keep away from these areas. It's relatively flat so easy on the feet. Some holes are tree lined and define them great. I can go through holes as I played them now so still in my memory. The 17 a nice little par three over a pond. I found the fairways a little long and soft but I'm told they keep it like that. When it was dry and hard the course played daft! The greens were really good and I struggled read them well enough. A long putt starting on the wrong line puts real pressure on the next putt, then a three putt comes. Better putters or players should be OK on these to read and if I went again I would look from the other side to confirm the start line. They are not flat! After that par to finish the locker/shower room was clean and tidy usable. At the bar food and drink avaliable and staff polite and friendly. Order taken, out comes the cash 'it's card only'. Not a problem for me but bear in mind if you do go in. The course is easy accessible off the motorway and with a later tee and meal meant we missed traffic issues. I can imagine it's busy at times so leave early. Go again yeah, I'd like to play a better round and position off the tee and rolling in a few would help.

First time playing here and despite the garbage weather we've been having the course was in pretty decent condition. Price could have been a bit better since two holes were closed and playing on temporary greens but overall a great place. Can't wait to play again when it's dry out.

Played here on Thursday 05/09. What a golf course this is. Every hole so picturesque. Can’t believe I haven’t played it before. Will certainly be playing it again. And soon. Great course, great clubhouse and food and really friendly members

Rating: 5 / 5

I've just joined here as a member but have previously played a few times as a guest. I'm not 100% sure why but I love the course more every time I play it. What's refreshing about DPGC is that it starts on a par 3 so you're not throwing your back out with a driver on a par 5 without 1st warming up. Facilities are great and the members create a very welcoming community. If any criticism, that would come from my partner who would like a few more wine options behind the bar 😂. Highly recommend!

The staff were welcoming and friendly, and we completed 2 courses while we were there. For 4 players this took us just over 1.5 hours. The holes were creative and had different themes. I would highly recommend this place.

Rating: 5 / 5

Had some good fun in this place, definitely a quirky place with some good and fun ideas for crazy golfing, something different than other crazy golf spots. Would recommend to groups and for a fun time out for most people who want to try and activity out. They have different areas, a bar for drinks at any time, and fun arcade section to bring back some old memories (I played street fighter and guitar heroes) and a good mix of music to get your jam on at the same time. A word of warning for those who struggle with strobe lighting, there is a lot of flashing lights which can be problematic for some people.

Junk Yard Golf Club is an absolutely fantastic place to spend time with loved ones and friends. Zuzanna welcomed us very friendly and explained everything as we played for the first time. The atmosphere is lovely, and the staff are incredibly friendly, making you feel right at home. Not only is the beer reasonably priced, but the courses are brilliantly designed, offering a fun mix of challenging and quirky obstacles. It’s the perfect spot for a fun day or night out with friends, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique experience.

Rating: 4 / 5

Very well laid out and a great theme and design. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and we went with our 2 children so very appealing for some good family fun. The courses aren’t too complex so you can get around them relatively quickly if you want to, so with that in mind I would recommend doing 18 holes at least.

Amazing experience I went here with my friend to celebrate her birthday 🎂🎆🎂🎆 We both had so much fun It's a very chilled atmosphere and you can take loads of pictures The glow in the dark octopus 🐙 and shark are awesome You can literally fit your head in the sharks mouth And the staff are very professional and friendly as well They are the best. Very reasonable prices as well If you go,I most definitely recommend you do both courses,it's totally worth it Anyway,great experience. Thank you so much

Its ok for young families. The courses are very easy and flat. Would recommend for a cheap day out. Only cost me and my son £20.25 to play which i think is reasonably priced.

Rating: 4 / 5

This was very good not over priced and a good set up we went early morning so not too busy the decor is very good reminds me of the rain forest cafe style. The holes are good and some are easy some are not. we enjoyed our time here will come again.
