Top Golf Courses in Orrell, Greater manchester

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

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.

Nice course, well kept and friendly pro shop.

Decent food and drink enjoyed on the terrace, only slightly marred by members shouting and swearing at some guys who played off the white tees in error.

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!

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.
