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.

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

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 on

OK

It's an OK course. A few nice holes, especially around the middle of the back 9
I 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.
