Superb course
Play this course now regularly, one of the best in my opinion in the Northwest. A good test of golf, with different challenges on each hole. Absolutely love playing here.(Round played: Jun 2021 - Score: 81 Handicap: )

Hilly but playable course.
This was the first time that I ventured over to Harwood and I did need my satnav to find it! However, it was an enjoyable eighteen holes despite a few climbs that would not please everyone. The fairways and greens were in excellent condition although the front nine did contain a fait few slopes? There were a few crossovers on the back nine but the fairways were somewhat flatter.Reviewer Rating

Cabbage greens
Greens were holllow tined instead of micro tined weeks ago and have not recovered. To say they're the worst greens I've ever played on would be an understatement - deadly slow, bobbly, look like broccoli, covered in sand and huge holes and indents from the tining. The member I played with couldn't stop apologising for the state of them. Poor.Reviewer Rating

Great Condition
Had a ring round local courses and chose this one as all 18 greens were in play. Mats on fairways and some tee mats in play but otherwise the course was in good condition for the time of year and has great views as the first 9 holes climb up the hillside. Greens in good condition.Reviewer Rating

Some climbing involved during the front 9 to get your pulse racing but you get some fantastic views. Flatter back 9 with two Par 5’s. Entertaining course, well presented with decent greens - will come back.(Round played: Jun 2018 - Score: 82 Handicap: 17.6)

Definitely in the hidden gem category. Not too long but testing and greens in immaculate condition. Great Course and will definitely come back, The only gripe was that the clubhouse was closed (but in was a Bank Holiday Monday) but I would highly recommend a visit..

They treated us like VIP’s, Geoff and John and all the Officials were excellent, in fact everyone from the Chef to the friendly bar staff were very professional.
We felt like members of Harwood not visitors, both agreed that we have never played in a friendlier club. We are booking for the Seniors Team Open in September on our return home.
Would have no problem recommending this club, which is a hidden gem to any golfer of any handicap to savour the course and the atmosphere within this great golf club. Warning get your putting game in order before you play this course.
It truly was a great day at Harwood Golf Club one we will be talking about for some time. see you in September.
