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......

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Really nice course. The ladies that made us breakfast really very friendly and made you feel welcome. Golf course is a thinking round one of the better course played in a few weeks. Big well done.

Great course tight layout and great condition around the greens. Highly recommended for all handicaps.

Rating: 4 / 5

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.

Great course in mint condition. Greens like snooker tables with a few tricky reads. some big ponds to shoot over which I managed. Watch out for the par 5 on front nine nearly caught me out. Not sure if it was an error but only paid £10 for eighteen holes on Saturday afternoon but a right bargain

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. 🙃

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.

We had our wedding in Bolton Golf Club, it was a really great and nice day, I would illustrate in the next points: 1) We had around 100 guests, the place accommodated all the guests. 2)The food was really nice, and very high quality. 3)You will feel so comfy and relaxed as the team is really amazing and co-operative, they make sure that you are enjoying your day, I managed to take a selfie with them and I think there's one member of the team is not into the selfie, we are sending our regards to her. 4)A special thanks to Mat(Mathew), thanks so much for your effort in communication and responding to our questions, you are such an amazing person. 5)Very nice sound system, and mic(in case you want to have speeches. 6)Very nice bar if you want to order anything extra 7) I really recommend if anyone has a birthday party or engagement or wedding or even just gathering, just get in contact with Bolton Golf Club, they will arrange everything for you.

Played the nine hole course. Very good condition for this time of year. Best winter tees I've played on, solid Great breakfast later. You need a vegetarian option though.

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 👌

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 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.

Fantastic course we'll maintained greens a fantastic very fast only took the front nine to get used to them🤣

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

The course landscape team do an amazing job. Plays so well, even after rain. First nine a real challenge rewarding views out to Manchester and Wales on a bright day.

Great course. Fantastic views some really good holes. Ended up with a birdie and five pars. Shot under 100 for the first time. Only negative play was really slow. Got stuck behind two four balls and I was on my own. Some daunting tee shots but a great challenge

Me and My 2 boys contacted them to play when we travelled to Manchester from Boston in May 2023. They were very helpful and nice. Rental clubs were available, and course was a fun change from local Boston courses. Staff was great..... Recommend for a fun day.

Rating: 5 / 5

Very good pitch and putt course, has plenty of features and challenges that will bring you back playing it again and again - no two rounds are the same. Generally has been well maintained and a few holes now have new teeing off mats however some need replacing.

Rating: 5 / 5

I’ve played here a lot over the years and the new guys running it have got it into the best condition I’ve ever seen it. Quite hilly and a lot of blind shots but if you’re hitting it straight it’s not a problem. Some excellent holes and some amazing views. One of the best courses in the north west without a doubt.

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.

First round at Turton today. Great layout, more than a few cracking holes, great condition for late October, brilliant views. Looking forward to going back in the summer

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
