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.

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.

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

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......

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 🏌🏻‍♂️🔥

Great day out. Nice little course with some lovely holes. Great to see maintenance being carried out on the course aswell. The course was reasonable dry considering the rain we have had. Well worth a visit . 100% be back. Friendly pro shop and well sign posted.

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.

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.

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

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 place to have a birthday party great function room

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!

Golf course just getting back to its playing best after all the rain. Greens staff doing a great job, the course can now only get better. Good test of golf. Week done

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

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

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

Lovely course, well kept and challenging holes. The road is now nice and smooth upto the club house (used to be full of pot holes). Now incorporates a couple of water features.. .more challenging holes. Reasonable prices for a round of golf. Really nice clubhouse... a bit dated . Fairways and greens are kept really well maintained.

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

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

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.

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.

The par 3 - 18 hole course is a good challenge, with plenty of variety that ranges from 110 yards to 250-yard range. A full course and driving range is also available.

Played here today, we were in front of 4 ex captain's, they all were so friendly, a credit to their club. Course was in very good all round condition for the time of the year, really enjoy playing here and will be back soon.

Played here yesterday with our golf society (Flag Hunters) and thoroughly enjoyed the course. Considering all the rain we have had, the course was in excellent condition. There are some fantastic views of the surrounding countryside as well, which was a bonus. The hospitality in the pro shop and clubhouse was first class. Hopefully we get to go back next year, when the 6th hole will be in play.

Played our end of year Santa golf day today. From Chris in the pro shop to everyone in the club house friendly, helpful and welcoming. Course played really well and very well maintained and even the hard frost did not spoil the day. Food after a cold but enjoyable round made for a great day. Thanks to everything at Stand GC for making it a brilliant end to our Season. We will be back in 2023 to play this course in the summer.

Played today for the first time and what an excellent course..superb condition considering the amount of rain recently. Quite long, lots of dog legs on the front 9 a good few hills but nothing extreme. Fantastic views. Definitely returning

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

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.

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.

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.
