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

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.

Very Hilly course but some stunning views. Hole 15 is a very tough, uphill par 4, put the postage stamp par 3 16 after it is a really nice little hole. Clubhouse is great

Good condition
After just moving from winter golf Darwen Golf Club was in lovely condition. After the harsh winter the only slight problem was the green being different speeds. Some were quicker than others but all the greens were true, even and in good condition and am sure they will be fast and true in the next few weeks.The rest of the course was excellent. Well done to the green keepers.

Cracker
Darwen is a cracking course, its undulations & slopes make it a real test of golf.There are holes where you can open the shoulders, but equally there are clever holes like the 4th, 5th & 6th where driver may not be the best choice.
The par 3 16th is a stunner.
The greens are in superb condition, the members & the pro all friendly.
Top this off with great views of Darwen Tower & the surrounding area, what's not to like.

Good course, in good condition. Only downside was that it is very hilly and requires a buggy

Enjoyed the round at Darwen GC
First time at Darwen and I was pleasantly surprised. The cost was cheap and the course in excellent condition. The fairways and greens were well cared for and manicured. The greens were a good speed. There are a number of interesting and challenging holes. Although the course is a hilly it's not as severe or tiring as many. I highly recommend you visit this course.Reviewer Rating
