Best Golf Courses in Leigh, Greater manchester (2025)

Rating: 4 / 5

A good, tidy, reasonably priced and well organised driving range. The range is somewhat of a novelty what with javing a couple of tanks, yes tanks, on the range - that's what makes it different. Ian, the pro at the venue is most helpful and also gives lessons. There is sufficient car parking but with only one way in/out, at busy times, it can be a little bit congested but, I've never experienced any major issues. All in all a great place to practice and refine your golfing techniques. Recommended.

Plenty of targets to hit the balls too, only 2 negative’s is that booths are on the tight side and 50% of the balls aren’t good at all. Great place if you’re after fun but if you need proper practice there are better places. Just in response to your reply, I’ve been to the range many times and it is only recently I have noticed just how many balls that probably need replacing. Most of the yellow ones are perfect, I feel I’ve probably been a little bit unfair, so I’ve given another star in reflection to how good the set up is, I don’t want to put anyone off for a second. It is a good venue just my personal experience with the balls.

Great service from Nick. Went in with my putter to be re-gripped which I’d failed miserably trying to do myself. Was given advice in how to fix my club and he helped me choose the most suitable grip to suit my grip & putting stroke.

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.

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.

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.

Excellent golf course in superb condition. Greens Staff very competent keeping the course in great condition.

Rating: 4 / 5

Even late in the season the course was really well presented, nice tightly mown fairways & some lovely run off areas around the greens. Definitely a plotters golf course, lots of holes require placement from the tee to allow clear shots into the greens.

Great true greens even after rain. Nice club house decent facilities. Very good course

Rating: 5 / 5

Plays very well even after days of heavy rain, not much surface water. Great, long holes, not too challenging and great for newer golfers.

The term hidden Gem gets used a lot but this is definitely hidden and its definitely a gem. The club has a great setting with a long single track drive from the main road through the course to a stunning clubhouse that has a moat with Black Swans on it. The staff were fantastically helpful and friendly. The course starts with a really tough 200+ yard par 3 (play for the front edge wherever the pin is). The course is a really enjoyable layout, not a tough walk or overly long and it was in very good condition.

What a great little course. 1st time here today and loved it. We will 100% be back! Price is more than fair at £8 for 9 holes or £13 for 18. Like that you get the option after paying and playing 9 you can pay the £5 and go again if you want.

Rating: 5 / 5

Brilliant course. Nice having a par 4 to start and end the round. Makes it feel bigger than it is.

Rating: 4 / 5

It was a nice experience, I think it was 2 or 3 of the par 3s was just a tad too short to count as a hole lol but the rest was great to play the par 4s was good too. All in all the greens was well enough £8 isnt too bad and it's great practice for the short game which I didn't know I needed until I played here haha.

Lovely little course, well looked after! Managed to drive the 9th hole last round so its my favourite place at the minute!

I recently held my 80th birthday celebration for approximately 50 guests in the Function Room at the club. I want to compliment the club caterers "Chip and Sip" and the club bar staff on their service and friendliness in providing a magnificent Hot and Cold buffet, the food was excellent and plentiful, all fresh and prepared and cooked in the Club house kitchen. Everyone was impressed with the quality of the food and the bar service. I would thoroughly recommend Pike Fold Golf Club as an ideal venue for any kind of social function.

Rating: 5 / 5

Not played pike fold before but I was pleasantly surprised and really impressed with the course - good design and routing of holes. It was in really good condition and the greens were superb - excellent pace and roll to them. Was quite busy for a Monday morning but pace of play was fine. Enjoyed a pint afterwards, and staff and members that we met were friendly. Would definitely go back and play there again.

Rating: 4 / 5

Played the seniors open and the course was in good condition particularly the greens. Fairly generous off the tees but with a few hazards dotted about. Everyone very friendly in pro shop and clubhouse. Well worth a visit.

Rating: 5 / 5

Had a great day's golf, the course is in excellent condition and the staff really helpfulness friendly. Will definitely pay another visit soon.

First time I played this course and I found it a very pleasent well maintained course but very tricky, with some course knowledge I would of shot better. After playing this course around 10 times over the last few months, I decided to come back to this review and add to it. The greens at Hart Common are some of the best I've played, and consistent throughout. Fairways are also very well kept. Some great bunkers well placed. Again this is a tricky course keep it on the fairway and you'll be rewarded.

Rating: 4 / 5

Nice clean clubhouse with friendly helpful staff, didn't really get a look at pro shop. This is a great little course with undulating fairways hiding some monster size bunkers (with good sand in most) and some really well placed, making any golfer think a bit and course management is vital as there are hidden streams and water hazards which are not visible on a few fairways. Greens are good also, and I recommend this course to any average to good golfer, maybe a bit too challenging to a novice.

Rating: 4 / 5

Not bad condition for November. Boggy in spots but greens were good. Think £28 is a bit high for the time of year and condition. Played February. Greens were still good but it was plugging a lot. Lost a couple of balls that landed not far off the fairway. Not many places let you play full greens and tees this time of year so fair enough considering the weather

Rating: 5 / 5

Proper golf in January no mats no temp greens helpful staff and friendly members would join this course if it was 20 miles closer

Rating: 5 / 5

Course is in impeccable condition. Well done to all the green keepers and the artisans along with the work that goes behind the scenes to produce such a great course. Friendly staff and excellent facilities.

Rating: 5 / 5

Cracking course. Not the longest but some great holes. I managed a good few pars which I was made up with. I got a bit confused with some of the tees and some are adjacent to each other but members pointed me in the right direction. Some good downhill drives and driveable par 4 which I nearly managed one of them. Would definitely return

Visited Gathurst Golf Club today with work colleagues. The ground is meticulously maintained. All staff were friendly and helpful. At the end of our game we were looked after at the bar by Matthew. Overall a fantastic day from start to finish, couldn’t recommend enough.

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.

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
