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

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

As a new member and only played four times I find the course in great condition for February. Great practice facilities and so far very friendly people, can't wait for the warmer days in the coming months and seeing the course at its best.

Overall a very nice golf course. Pleasent pro shop and bar. Very well maintained course, in great shape for this time of year and recent weather. Greens were very good and consistent throughout. Fairways were gorgeous too. My only slight dislike and why I knocked a star off was because it only has 1 par 5 and 3 par 3s. The rest are a good mix of short, long and dog legged par 4 some very interesting. Course is par 70. Personally I prefer more par 5s and 3s. If you're not a long hitter this course will suit you very well. Great course just a minor knock down due to personal preference. 🙃

Westhoughton Golf course was an absolute bargain. £20 . We played on 2nd May. The back 9 was having some work o the greens being done, over sanding etc. So I don't know if this was a cheaper rate. The front 9 was great greens and fairways were suburb for time of year and the recent wet weather that all courses have been suffering from. Very few plugged balls and some good run out on fairways was a pleasant change. Some very nice holes with some nice water features guarding some greens. Overall for the price this course is / was a bargain and if this was a normal summer green fee we'll be back for sure. Only down side is no pro shop. But a bar and food is available all staff were very friendly and members encountered were very accommodating. Thankyou for a great day Westhoughton GC. 👍😊

Nice course, good value at £20, greens were in good condition and was fairly quick, most greens fairly straightforward but does have tricky ones sprinkled in with some difficult pin positions. Fairly flat course so comfortable walking round. No pro shop though but would visit again for a comfortable round and shouldn't lose too many balls compared to other courses around here.

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

Stunning course with great views across the area. Parts of the course were flooded but the weather had been terrible beforehand (welcome to the North West). The course was really well maintained throughout. The bar area was cozy, reasonably priced and the food was excellent.

Bolton Balloon Fairies was asked to create a Balloon Wall around our 4 foot LED Numbers and what a gorgeous room they have for hire for functions. It's an upstairs room and is very large holding a couple of hundred people. Car park is spacious and bars are on both floors. Highly recommend 👌

Bolton's answer to Augusta, rolling pine lined holes with fast undulating greens. Always in great condition, the course has 2 loops of 9 that bring you back to the clubhouse, great if you only have time for 9 holes or are meeting friends. With some of the best views across Lancashire & Cheshire away to North Wales, always worth a visit.

Bolton old links was a really good folf course. Some really deep difficult bunkers well placed. Must avoid at all cost. Greens were absolutely amazing. Some tee shots are blind, but hole map on every tee helps. Course knowledge is definitely an advantage here. Fairways are generous and rough is punishing. A great course overall.

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

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.

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

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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

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.

Rating: 4 / 5

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.

Joined for the first time in January, having never been a member of a golf club before I wasn't sure what to expect. The club is so welcoming, the members all encourage you to join in and in all it's a really friendly atmosphere. The course is excellent, considering the amount of bad weather we have had its in great shape. Some challenging holes, even more so depending on the wind direction but all adds to the fun. Anyone thinking of joining a golf club for great value for money, welcoming atmosphere and a well maintained course look no further than Great Lever & Farnworth golf club.

A really nice course to play the weather was lovely some nice views over the course my only complaint is there was no bins for rubbish.bu apart from that some nice wide fairways on most holes so I really enjoyed it would recommend this course

Rating: 5 / 5

Excellent course and hospitality for our golf society. The course was in top condition and will be looking to book again next year. It is hilly in parts and I would recommend getting a buggy for any senior golfers who feel the need of one.

Rating: 4 / 5

Very scenic course, nice to play. Pleasent staff and brew with a view at the end. Very hilly, I hired a buggy at a very reasonable price together with the golf, good value for money. The course is hilly and most tee shots are blind played to marker posts. Some tees are a bit away from last green. Greens are good condition but a little bobbly around the edges for fringe putts. If windy I could imagine this course being very difficult, we played after a night of rain and it seems to drain well

Fantastic course. Really good condition. Was on winter greens but expected for this time of year. Some amazing views of winter hill and beyond. Paid £15 absolute bargain. 17 holes open on day so played first hole again and birdied it second time round. Last thing it's extremely hilly I carried my bag but it was a proper workout

Great course in fantastic condition. Greens really tricky and a good test. Very hilly and I was carrying so had a good workout aswell. Some interesting holes and great views you wouldn't think you were in Bolton. Would definitely return. Only negative the worker in the pro shop was a bit funny he turned up on the 16th hole and started to play a few holes. I caught him up and he a said I can't let you through it's ladies day it's there day. I didn't even ask to be let though was just enjoying the golf. Other than that jobs worth was a great day. Saw him when I was leaving after a pint and he had nothing to say then. Try a smile next time

Golf course in excellent condition. The competition organisers where very friendly and helpful. Had a lovely time playing golf here. Sep 2022 Played again here today and had another lovely day. Course still in excellent condition. The Captain made an effort to drive around the course and welcome all the teams which was nice. Excellent service in the clubhouse and a lovely meal after the golf. I had chicken curry with rice & chips. Very tasty and reasonably priced. Great golf club.
