The Best Golf Courses in Little Lever, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom (2025)

Really nice course. The ladies that made us breakfast really very friendly and made you feel welcome. Golf course is a thinking round one of the better course played in a few weeks. Big well done.

Westhoughton Golf course was an absolute bargain. £20 . We played on 2nd May. The back 9 was having some work o the greens being done, over sanding etc. So I don't know if this was a cheaper rate. The front 9 was great greens and fairways were suburb for time of year and the recent wet weather that all courses have been suffering from. Very few plugged balls and some good run out on fairways was a pleasant change. Some very nice holes with some nice water features guarding some greens. Overall for the price this course is / was a bargain and if this was a normal summer green fee we'll be back for sure. Only down side is no pro shop. But a bar and food is available all staff were very friendly and members encountered were very accommodating. Thankyou for a great day Westhoughton GC. 👍😊

Great course tight layout and great condition around the greens. Highly recommended for all handicaps.

Great course in mint condition. Greens like snooker tables with a few tricky reads. some big ponds to shoot over which I managed. Watch out for the par 5 on front nine nearly caught me out. Not sure if it was an error but only paid £10 for eighteen holes on Saturday afternoon but a right bargain

Fabulous, well priced course. Buggy hire extremely reasonable. The course is laid out very well as has some really challenging holes. A good test around. The greens are impeccably kept and the bunkers bar one are near perfect. Play advised......

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.

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

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.

Overall a very nice golf course. Pleasent pro shop and bar. Very well maintained course, in great shape for this time of year and recent weather. Greens were very good and consistent throughout. Fairways were gorgeous too. My only slight dislike and why I knocked a star off was because it only has 1 par 5 and 3 par 3s. The rest are a good mix of short, long and dog legged par 4 some very interesting. Course is par 70. Personally I prefer more par 5s and 3s. If you're not a long hitter this course will suit you very well. Great course just a minor knock down due to personal preference. 🙃

Great course. ....... Really in good condition....... A real gem of a round of golf in the North West of England...... Good food and drinks in the recently refurbished clubhouse.....

We had our wedding in Bolton Golf Club, it was a really great and nice day, I would illustrate in the next points: 1) We had around 100 guests, the place accommodated all the guests. 2)The food was really nice, and very high quality. 3)You will feel so comfy and relaxed as the team is really amazing and co-operative, they make sure that you are enjoying your day, I managed to take a selfie with them and I think there's one member of the team is not into the selfie, we are sending our regards to her. 4)A special thanks to Mat(Mathew), thanks so much for your effort in communication and responding to our questions, you are such an amazing person. 5)Very nice sound system, and mic(in case you want to have speeches. 6)Very nice bar if you want to order anything extra 7) I really recommend if anyone has a birthday party or engagement or wedding or even just gathering, just get in contact with Bolton Golf Club, they will arrange everything for you.

As a new member and only played four times I find the course in great condition for February. Great practice facilities and so far very friendly people, can't wait for the warmer days in the coming months and seeing the course at its best.

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!!!

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!

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.

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 🏌🏻‍♂️🔥

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

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.

Very nice course! First time we'd played this today and it won't be the last! Course in really good condition, it was pouring down with rain all round but still held up! Credit to the greenkeepers greens were in top condition! Full breakfast after the round, made to feel very welcome and all staff friendly! Good value for money, I'd say it's a course you definitely have to play in the area 👍🏻

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🤣

Stunning course with great views across the area. Parts of the course were flooded but the weather had been terrible beforehand (welcome to the North West). The course was really well maintained throughout. The bar area was cozy, reasonably priced and the food was excellent.

We want to thank Bury Golf Club for hosting a brilliant company event for us with a round of golf (shotgun start!) for our clients and staff. Communication from the club was fantastic with great catering and a brilliant course to play on.

Bury Golf Club is a great place to play golf. Very rarely closed and never on winter temp greens. The greens staff and work party work tirelessly to bring the course back to its moorland beginnings. The Mackenzie design course is tricky and requires good course management. Every hole is different and with great views. The club house is very friendly and a new catering team comes in next month to offer a good golf menu. You won’t be disappointed.

Wonderful course and members, very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The best part is 12 months of golf all year round, no mats very rarely temporary greens a lovely challenging course

Bury Golf Club. A great Alister McKenzie course with great undulations and hills. Par 70. 37 out 33 in. This course has some cracking holes but just lacks in a few of the finer details. Not many bins . No ball washers. A few bald patches and G.U.R. patches scattered around. Sand in bunkers was laking. A few blind tee shots with no hill top aim markers. Greens were good and rolled nicely for the majority. Fairways were good and rough was fair. Friendly Pro shop and Bars

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.

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.

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.

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

Amazing greens for February. Course was great. Nice layout, a mix of holes and incredible condition for the time of year

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.

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.

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.

Joined for the first time in January, having never been a member of a golf club before I wasn't sure what to expect. The club is so welcoming, the members all encourage you to join in and in all it's a really friendly atmosphere. The course is excellent, considering the amount of bad weather we have had its in great shape. Some challenging holes, even more so depending on the wind direction but all adds to the fun. Anyone thinking of joining a golf club for great value for money, welcoming atmosphere and a well maintained course look no further than Great Lever & Farnworth golf club.

A really nice course to play the weather was lovely some nice views over the course my only complaint is there was no bins for rubbish.bu apart from that some nice wide fairways on most holes so I really enjoyed it would recommend this course

First time here but a great course (It's in the name) very well looked after the fairway and greens were perfect. The greens were fast so go easy!😁

Great value for pay and players and members alike. Course is normally in great condition and presents a fair challenge for players of all standards. Friendly welcome atmosphere in the clubhouse.
