Safe to say I will not be returning, not even if you paid me. Save your money and play somewhere else.

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)

Nice clubhouse with decent food, but we arn't playing golf in the clubhouse!
The course is well kept and in pretty good order. Holes are not too challenging though. The greens are ok but there are much better around locally. Not the most scenic of courses, motorway, bolton hospial and a large housing estate are perhaps the best of the views. Had a decent round there only slightly spoiled by some very slow play infront of us. The tradition of letting people play through seems to be forgotten in farnworth.

We played with a junior member. At the time the course had lots of holes closed and we're using fairway mats (not provided)Members on the course were not helpful they were rather judgemental to guests. One par 3 had a large hole/trench dug out on the left hand side of the green. This should have been closed.

Poor Greens
The rough is thick and you will struggle to find ball if you are off fairways which are very good. The greens are not so good and I'm unsure if they have had a problem or two. Remember to update any GPS watch you have as its altered over the past few years and dont forget you have to cross a very busy main road twice.Difficult to say if I'd recommend, depens where you currently play and the standard you expect.

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

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)
