What the club says: An 18 hole parkland course with a variation of hole designs to challenge golfers of all abilities. The course has memorable views and in particular when playing down to the green on the second hole where the verdant and pituresque backdrop is a sight to behold on any day.
Although the 15th, 16th and 18th holes run adjacent to the M6 motorway, its presence is hardly noticeable once you have left the 14th Green where it comes into view for the first and last time. The 14th green at Gathurst can be seen to the left of the M6 motorway when travelling north and around a mile from and approaching junction 27.
The 18th Hole is a long par 4, even longer in wet conditions, and a good second shot will land you on the green situated in front of the clubhouse and patio where afterwards, you can have a relaxing drink, either on the patio or in the friendly atmosphere of the bar.

Real Gem
I had the opportunity to play a round at Gathurst Golf Club after work with Kev Cleaver and Craig Hurley and what a fantastic hidden gem of a course it was.The course was is fantastic condition and you can see the care the green keepers put in to keep the place in top condition. The views from this course was picturesque and my photos don’t do it justice but it’s somewhere I will definitely be revisiting.
If your passing the Wigan area make sure you pop in for a round and you won’t regret it ????????????

Nice course worth playing
Second time playing Gathurst GC this time in one of their well run open competitions. Friendly welcome in the clubhouse and pro shop. Good practice facilities, large putting green next to 1st hole. Course in great condition, greens mint. Good walk around as there are some ups and downs to negotiate but nothing to strenuous. Some nice looking holes and proper card wreckers like the 17th par 3. Well worth a round at Gathurst for sure.Reviewer Rating

Charging far too much for the condition of the course £35. The greens were covered in sand and very long. They were so slow it was a joke really. Rest of course quite boggy with balls easily lost and plugged in rough. Some nice looking holes but over all should have been £15 at most. Also saw a first in 30 years of golf, a physical fight in the car park between a member and visitor over the use of a trolley without winter wheels. Entertaining at least.

Great Parkland Golf Course
First time I've played here and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The layout of the course is excellent with wide fairways. They are free lined, as it is a parkland golf course but they don't cause too many problems when going offline. If being over critical the greens could have been given another cut, but overall they had a good true roll to them.Reviewer Rating

Course was in very good condition. greens were a little long and a bit slow, so could've done with a cut to speed them up. always feels a bit cramped, especially on the back 9. But a good round to make you think.

Good Course
A course that uses its contours well, taking advantage of its slopes & hollows.It's in fantastic condition & the greens are fast & true.
The first is a fairly gentle start, but then the 2nd is a cracking downhill par 4. It arguably gets a little repetitive as you play around the practice area in the middle of the course, but that's being very picky.
I loved the 15th towards the motorway, it's a really nice hole.
The guy in the shop was brilliant & talked through almost every hole & where to go before we teed off which was brilliant.
Definitely worth a visit
