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

I played here twice in June 2024, once in pouring rain at the beginning of the round. The course was immaculate with very well kept fairways. The greens were smooth, fast, and challenging. The rough was closely cut and there wasn't any great amount of debris under or around the trees. There was no waterlogging despite the English rain. The course isn't hugely difficult for a high handicap player but it does require some course management and a deal of care on the greens, some of which don't appear to have any level surfaces. The clubhouse is modern and comfortable. The bar staff are very friendly and helpful. I enjoy this course and I have heard good things from my brother who is a member for six years. Green fees were very reasonable too.

I attend our weekly business meeting here every Thursday with BNI. Great facilities and the catering team serve up a fantastic buffet breakfast.

Very happy to give the club a 5 star review. Just had a family birthday party and the service from Carolyn and her team was first class. Carolyn was very responsive to all my questions and nothing was too much trouble. On the day her team were warm and friendly, all the party guests had a lovely time and enjoyed the hot buffet food. Highly recommend!

Lovely course well laid out and well presented. The course is highly maintained and frequently updated in regards to pin locations. There is fair pricing for a golf round, and the golf professional is polite and friendly with good knowledge to help with your golf swing and course advice.

Excellant condition course

Played whittaker for first time yesterday... What an absolute belting course definitely back next week.. Didnt even know it was there..

Didn't actually go to the golf club I go walking near by for the scenery without the crowds

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 an open day here, staff super friendly, golf course was in great condition and the back 9 was brutal (made harder with windy conditions). Really enjoyed it though and the food afterwards was lovely!

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

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.

Very very cool place staff amazing, great food, indoor simulators are brilliant and great beer on tap.. loved it will be coming back

Fantastic facilities , very helpful the staff in setting you on the simulator. Great work , helps the golf big time...

Fantastic facility for all the family. We loved the games on Trackman for the kids

If u want to play the best courses in the world or just practice this place is worth a visit, book if possible as there are only 2 bays, food and beers available,also free parking.

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.

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

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.

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.

Went hear for a meal the food was great the service very good the only thing I found issues with was parking there was no disabled parking and the parking bays so tight one could not open the car door without hitting another vehicle

Course generally in good condition with very good greens. A very hard walk on the back 9 with elevation changes and large distances between some greens and tees. Quite dangerous in places hitting over greens and also greens near tees. Friendly clubhouse with good price food and drinks.

Great course with well kept greens. Friendly atmosphere among patrons and superb food in the clubhouse.

Fantastic course and great club house Fantastic bar staff friendly members already great place to play

Food is amazing, taste delicious. Big portions. Great value. Premises is a little shabby in place needs a refurb. Course is beautiful. Love the addition of the outdoor seating put in over covid. That'll be lovely in summer

Great friendly club excellent course and club house big function room to hire for weddings and other celebrations set in beautiful surroundings with great views

A great course with lots of variety through the 18 holes. One of the best courses in Tameside. Par 3 holes all have a familiar layout and a good chance to score well; although the view from tee to green can be disconcerting, especially the 18th. The 6th hole, an uphill par 4, needs a tee shot placed centre-right of the fairway to open up a compact, secure green. Yardage markers in the centre of the fairway on par 4 and 5 holes a useful reference for visiting players. Greens in good condition and running true despite the quantity of pitch marks! The course is well kept: dog walkers and ramblers on the neighbouring paths were respectful. The same can be said for the resident members whom were all polite.

Visited for the first time (July 2024) Played in Lancashire ladies 4 player team event. None of us had played there before and were all very impressed We Were blessed with great weather & the course was in excellent condition. Fabulous clubhouse, where we enjoyed some very nice sandwiches before hitting the course, then managed to grab some bargains in the pro shop before heading home. Definitely recommend

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

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

Very good club house Well maintained course

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.

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.

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 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.

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
