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.

Well maintained course with good variety of holes. Don't go near the pond on the right with your first tee shot, the Canada geese have made a 50 yd toilet area. Once past that the course is fine with a number of tricky holes with slopes and penalising lateral ditches along quite a few holes. Greens are of reasonable size. Clubhouse was good and post match meal was ok.Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Jul 6 2019 by Lee D - rated 2 out of 5 Bitter Sweet!!!
I would like to start by saying the course and the gentleman in the pro shop were absolutely spot on. However, once our round had finished and we went to purchase a drink from the clubhouse we were approached by a member of the course who asked us what we thought of the course (very friendly) only for him to follow it up with "just a couple of things lads"..... He then proceeded to tell me I weren't allowed to wear my cap indoors (even though I was going back outside with my drink), and also that "a few members" had complained that our golf shirts were not tucked in. I do not understand the attitudes of members like this at golf courses I actually had to look around to see were I was at the time and yes it was Gathurst in Wigan and not Muirfield or St Andrews. I can honestly say if every course I visited had members like this I would happily sell my clubs and not play golf ever again! So much for growing the game and all that. Such a shame.I must again reiterate that the gent in the pro shop was first class, even after we had told him about our experience.

Interesting Course the outward and inward halves very different in terms of length and types of holes. Fairways holding up well for late November, and the greens in particular in excellent condition. Tee off mats, which is no problem.(Round played: Nov 2018 - Score: 106 Handicap: 24.8)
