Craig, Bolton rated 5 out of 5
Reviewed Oct 2 2016
This is a truly excellent golf course with incredibly helpful and welcoming staff. To put this in context, we were visitors playing in front of the final of the presidents cup, and were kindly asked to wait and let them play through. At other courses this would have been handled in a poor manner with visitors treated as vermin but here all of the stewards and players we came across were friendly and treated us with respect. The clubhouse is also very nice and had a warm atmosphere.
The course itself is well designed with testing bunker traps guarding most greens (which themselves are the best putting surfaces in the area without a shadow of a doubt). There are stunning views to be had from most holes and whilst fairly hilly this did not affect the enjoyment, still walkable for the able bodied.
If anything the only gripe would be the variation of holes - 14 par 4s and only one par 5 got a bit repetitive although each hole was a unique challenge.
Would highly recommend especially if you can get a good deal online as we did.

A great short course and quite open.Shame about the greens because they had just been spiked but that's winter golf for you.This course must be brilliant in the summer.Highly recommended.

I was slightly underwelmed by this course. Decent course with nice true greens. But nothing spectacular. Good practice areas including 40yard pitching area and well laid out driving range.
Very expensive for what you get. Much better value and course at Mottrham hall. I felt i was paying for its exclusivity rather than it being a top championship course.
Extremely helpfull pro and great clubhouse.

Reviewed Oct 12 2015
Very disappointing. Greens slow and bobbly compared to other courses in area. 3 of arguably the best par 4s turned into a pitch and putt par 3 of a winter mat. No mention of this on website and the pro told me it makes the course play better and that as I had booked on teeofftimes I had got a bargain. Yeah right pal won't be returning will stick to Chorley or north Manchester in future, both cheaper and much better. As is Bolton old links, bury and Hart common. Don't know why the pga is based here it's an ok course when it's fully open but nothing special and defo not the adverisesd 40 quid

Lovely course. Varied layout. Great views. Fairly hilly in parts but overall fine for walking with a trolley and not too strenuous. Friendly staff and members. Played after booking directly with pro shop. Played before, would recommend.
