Great beginner course
I have played this course a number of times now whilst I am new to the sport. A great way to have a midweek 9 holes after work to practice out on the grass. I have only played during this summer, so the course has been in good condition, with no wet areas, but the greens really do struggle. Its difficult to gauge improvements to your score as a beginner when the putting is so difficult. For £6.50 a round though its great value as a practice course and it is a nice scenic course which is always quiet. It also has a small practice chipping and putting area to use before your round.Reviewer Rating

Was a member here in the 80s through to 2004. Was a brilliant course and greens well maintained. The council have let this course go to the dogs. Greens are terrible now. Trees need cutting back, rough is like nothing u have seen. Just badly maintained. I used to live this course. Bring back the original tees from the back which where in place in the 80s.
Sadly I won't play this course again

Pretty Nine hole course.
I enjoyed my visit to Pennington Golf Club this week. It is a pretty Nine hole course with something for everyone. Booking was easy and green fees are very good value. However the greens are pretty poor and some are awful.Reviewer Rating

Cheap & cheerful...
Nice layout with some good holes. Perfect for beginners or practice rounds.Greens are well maintained head round, however poor drainage on certain fairways causes problems in we weather. But value for money, it's always worth a round!

Very Boggy today. No run on any shots at all. But nice and quiet with only a few people out.

Course is OK. A couple of longer holes. 3rd Tee changed now from straight to a dogleg which is annoying. Fairway grass a little long with alot of daisies that makes it hard to find ball. I found 6 in 9 holes all in the fairway amidst daisies. Nice and cheap and much better than going to a driving range. Quite scenic and dry at this time of year. Get a Wigan Leisure card and have 9 holes for a fiver.

Challenging course, for both beginners and lower handicappers. Excellent value for money. If wanting to play, you should play during a dry weather period as the course becomes waterlogged. Greens are in good condition all year around.

Condition of the course isn't great, but this is a well used municipal. Very water logged after rain.
Great value for a beginner like myself. There are no club facilities and have only given fair because the service staff are always welcoming. There is a burger van on the car park that can offer tea coffee and soup to warm up after a cold round.

This is a tricky little course with a number of holes having a brook running through. For a high handicapper like myself, these are usually holes where I incur penalties through lost balls. Overall, a well kept course with regularly changing pin positions. It can be a busy course on sunny days, but quieter in the very early morning or winter months.

Played last week. They do well with the money the council spend. Fairways and rough are good. Greens need a lot doing to em but at 4.50 a round can you complain?

The Course is a reasonable 9 hole course, the holes are varied with good hazards throughout the course. The course itself is good but the condition of fairways and greens could be greatly improved if a little more respect was shown by the public.

Municipal course gets busy and have a lot of waiting to do, along with some undesireable characters ? But on the whole a good flat course, lots of 'obstacles' to get over, round or through. Some good holes for beginners but others quite tricky. Looks like they have spent considerable time 'looking after' the greensalthough does get flooded very easily and can be boggy in places.
