Massive inprovements made
This course has always had a friendly feel to it, but was in need of some TLC to turn it into a really good course. I am pleased to say that Major changes have been made, and there are more changes to come. The introduction of a new head green keeper, Ben, he's come here with a 5 yr plan and is being backed all the way by the club. What he's done in the last 12 months is amazing. With lots more to come.Reviewer Rating

Don’t play here, I played here a few years ago and it was a lovely to play, not anymore . The fairways were decent but the greens were the worst I’ve ever played on including pitch and putt courses. There were holes, every putt bobbled and jumped and some had donut tyre marks due to yobs driving their motorbikes on the course and greens. One green was completely closed due the damage it had. I also had a child pinch my ball from the fairway on one hole.
Safe to say I will not be returning, not even if you paid me. Save your money and play somewhere else.

Great value and very peaceful.
My partner and I both enjoyed our first game this year at the Great Lever and Farnworth course. However, signage was poor especially as the new layout was new to players who had visited in the past. Our biggest gripe was however the condition of the greens. I know the hot weather has played havoc with grass but it is difficult to putt with many patches of grass missing.Reviewer Rating

fluffy greens
this course could be so much better with a large investment of cash and a little re jigging. The greens today were very fluffy and very slow, green keepers were out trimming the rest of the course that was in quite good nick. Tee boxes really need some attention(Round played: Aug 2019 - Score: 81 Handicap: 10.6)

Worth a visit
A very nice course with some good open fairways. Various obstacles that are situated so as not to completely spoil your card. Gentle slopes with a few water features. All in all a nice course to play onReviewer Rating

OK
It's an OK course. A few nice holes, especially around the middle of the back 9I particularly liked the dog leg 12th by the M61, but it's a hole I've seen hundreds of times & always wanted to play.
In pretty good nick for this time of year, except for the greens which were very bumpy & pock marked. I'll definitely play again, but probably late next year to see if they can sort the greens out. (Round played: Apr 2018 - Score: 84 Handicap: 16.2)

Well worth a visit, warm welcome from all.
It is only the second time I have played this course and both times I have really enjoyed it. The members and the committee give you a real warm welcome and it is no wonder that this is a thriving club with the membership soaring.(Round played: Apr 2018 - Score: 84 Handicap: 16.2)
