Loved this course and the members.
This course has moved on so much in the last 18 months. The new green keeper has sorted out all the main problems with the course, put in new bunkers, and is working so hard getting the greens in the best quality possible. He's add members helping with sorting out the drainage, placing a fountain in the 18th hole pond, getting the fairways in great condition. If this is a course that you have not played for a while, I strongly recommend you take another look, and with some amazing membership deals being had at the moment it really is a course on the way up. Massive well done to Ben and his team.(Round played: Aug 2021 - Score: 91 Handicap: 15.8)

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

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

Very enjoyable game. The only downside, as a first time visitor, was that there was little in the way of signage

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.
