Played on bank holiday monday, pro shop not open till 9am despite taking our 730 booking so unable to get a score card, fortunately managed to get one from one of the members. Front 9 ok, but 3 holes had had the flags stolen and in there place was a twig from nearby trees!! greens on back 9 terrible and parts of course were appalling where tractors been through. I was looking forward to playing here from reports from friends who had previously played here but i wont be rushing back.

Pleasant surprise
Due to bad weather the course we were due to play was closed. After a quick ring round we were lucky to be offered a tee time as visitors early Sunday morning. Great course. The views were stunning with a nice mix of holes. Be prepared for a long walk up & down hills.Reviewer Rating

Fantastic Views
A challenging course which we have played a couple of times before. Course was in good condition and there are some stunning holes with background surrounding countryside. Best played in calm conditions unless you are an extreme golfer but the back 9 whilst hilly, are well worth the extra effort.Reviewer Rating

A good test of golf with varied holes and excellent greens. Great panoramic views from parts of the course which adds to the experience. Limited practice facilities unless you want a bit of a hike before you play other than putting practice. The bar staff are chatty and friendly and made us feel very much at home and the club house is clean and comfortable. Pro shop is well stocked and worth a look.

Great course worth playing
Having played Bolton Old Links a couple of times before but a few years ago was looking forward to playing it again. Friendly welcome in clubhouse and pro shop, nice bacon butty. Putting green and practice nets near first hole. Nice starting hole uphill gives you sense of things to come as course is quite up and down. Course in superb condition, greens are some of best I've played on this year but can easily catch you out as were quite rapid. All in all a great course to play with stunning scenery especially from the top of the course. Will keep returning for sure.Reviewer Rating
