Very hilly. Two very long par 5's that your happy to reach in 5! Wide range of hazzards with accending and desending gradients to contend with. Some of the holes fairways are at an angle which force the ball down hill. This just means the tee shot needs to be accurate. Easy to navigate with clear sign posting. Very nice views of the country side from the tees and holes at the top end of the course.

Front 9 park land & back 9 heath land ! Very Hilly & tends to roll to the left (but always towards the tower !). You need to shoot a good front 9 to come off with a decent score because it gets harder & hillier & windier round the back 9. Great fun & generally very friendly !

Some good, some less so.

Darwen on a Sunday evening had all its good bits- the enjoyable challenge of the course, the great views, the satisfaction of making it up the hills. We got held up for a few moments by a gentleman taking pictures for the website.

The greens were running smoothly but very slowly. Unfortunately the round was marred by the presence of two dogs rampaging around on the back nine. One in particular was very aggressive- I knew I carried a three iron for a reason... if that isn't distressing enough, I witness the dogs defecating on the fairway at least twice.

Shame, as I normally enjoy Darwen.

Worth playing just for the views. Hard work at times but rewarding. Shame we played after heavy rain as course was wet, greens slower than expect they would normally be and not at its best. Lack of signage was slightly frustrating.

the course is really testing not one for the faint hearted the fairways were in good condition i was a bit dissapointed that you had to play with mats instead of putting it to side of the fairway still rules is rules plus on some holes you had to play to winter greens others you did'nt when all the greens looked in decent nick
