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

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.

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......

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fantastic course one of the best around here that I've played. I'm not very good and found that although the holes were extremely challenging for a man with my golf capabilities- they were extremely fun! Beer ain't bad in club house either! Will be back for sure

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.

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. 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

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!

Fantastic place to have a birthday party great function room

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

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

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.

Played as a reciprocal, this is a great challenging course, very well looked after and not a boring hole in sight. Lovely breakfast and coffee £7.50 and the assistant pro was a decent lad. Will definitely play it again.

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.

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.

Great course, don't let the fact that it's only a nine hole course deter you. Excellent. and friendly members.

Great course with some challenging holes. Belting beer garden and sun terrace with friendly members.

Great little course to kill a few hours greens exceptional some challenging holes 9 holes great for golfers looking to have fun and develop their game like myself. Can play as 18 with various tee positions and greens. Fantastic value for money at only £10

Nice course & reasonably priced. 9 holes with 18 tees. Could do with trolly hire.

Excellent place for any occasion.beautiful views of bamford and norden

Good course, good bar service, whats not to like 👍

Very good club house Well maintained course

First drinks after lockdown, and what a lovely setting!!

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.

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 👍🏻

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.
