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.

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

Nice course, worth playing

Played Gathurst for first time in an open event. Well organised. Friendly welcome all round. Great breakfast. Good practice facilities. Course in great condition, greens firm and true. Some nice holes, a couple of water hazards in play especially on par 3 17th. A few ups and downs but quite easy on the feet. Will return for sure.

(Round played: Jul 2020 - Score: 77 Handicap: 5.2)

Great courae

Went to Gathurst on an overcast drizzly day and got a little bit wet but the course was in superb condition. The fairways and the greens were as good as you get. Due to the torrential rain in the previous couple of days there was some water in the bunkers but hey the rules cover that. Played here a few times over the last 10 years and it's always in great condition.

Excellent course considering the weather of late. Very well set out and challenging. Very welcoming guy in the shop. Course is well worth a visit by non members.

A great club/staff and facilities. The course a bit boggy (hardly surprising) and I haven't aseen it at it's best. Would like to play in summer. All said and done a nice round at a nice course.

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.

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.

Little gem

First time here, lovely find for the green fee we paid. Definitely return.

Few very tricky holes if you don’t know your way around.
