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

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

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

Very good club house Well maintained course

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Fantastic course with some of the best greens in the Manchester area. Very friendly staff and members. It is well worth a visit.

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.

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!

V friendly Golf Club, with a lovely terrace. The food particularly Sunday dinner is great value.

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

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.

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 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.

Amazing day from start to finish at my Sisters wedding. Drinks reasonably priced for a golf club venue. The ceremony, breakfast and evening reception were just perfect. The staff were really welcoming, plenty of bar staff working the bar so never waited to be served. The food was beautiful as were the surroundings as was the standard of the ceremony/function room and the way it was dressed. Absolutely wonderful venue, team of catering and bar staff and the view from the outdoor seating area on the large balcony was the cherry on the cake.

Excellent golf course for those who play. Fine views if you don't! Relatively new clubhouse and function rooms, can be hired with large room, ideal for weddings and family celebrations.

Superb golf course, we had a great day, excellent staff, and fantastic food. We shall visit again. Thank you

This is an amazing golf club, great staff including the pro shop, catering, 19th hole and management. Not only is the golf great, we also had the pleasure of using the function room for a recent party, everybody at the club was superb and made the day so special.

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.

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

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.

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.

Played as a visitor today after work. Not my best round of golf but really enjoyed it the course is well maintained and everyone we came in contact with seemed friendly enough. Spoke to president while he was working on the club house and they’ve got some really good deals for new members. Worth thinking about. Will be going back.

It's in very good condition, the green are pretty hard to read and are running quite fast so yes overall very good.

Nice golf club nestled in country lanes. The M62 motorway is to one side of the club and the lane to get to it could do with some pot hole filling but these are the only negatives I have. The main function room is a good size and is light and airy. Tunshill will provide catering for your event. I have attended several functions there of different types and I would be happy to return

Played yesterday having played previously almost 20 years ago. Course is in very good condition and the greens are excellent and very tricky with lots of slopes. Members and bar staff were all very friendly. Only downside is that they have a couple of shared fairways which seem very dangerous. A very enjoyable day and well worth a 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!

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.
