Towneley is a municipal golf course located on the southern edge of Burnley within easy reach of the M65.

Set in mature parkland Towneley is a good test of golf despite its short length.

Well maintained course
Very well maintained course somewhat spoiled by poor players who don't replace diverts and or pitch marks but even though this didn't spoil thevroundsvI have played there it does get busy especially when the sun is out so becomes slow. Then on my last round there other players started cutting in on the hole I was playing which was very annoying then you had players behind who teed off even though we hadn't taken our 2nd shot balls bouncing at the sidevof us this type of player needs banning as its dangerous play, only for them to say the ball was no where near us literally 4 yards. But we didn't let that bother us I just said do it again and you'll lose your ball he took the hint.Reviewer Rating

Nice course worth playing
Having not played Towneley GC for a good few years thought we'd give it a go as heard nice things about it. Friendly welcome in pro shop, decent bistro above serving food. Practice net and putting green. Course a little wet after a couple of days of heavy rain but still in good condition. Greens rolled well. A few inclines to negotiate but nothing too strenuous. Worth playing for sure.Reviewer Rating

Decent course
Townley is a really decent course.I was expecting it to be a moorland course due to the area that its in, but it was a parkland course.
Irs in great condition. The greens are excellent & so are the bunkers.
Some won't like the criss crossing on a few of the holes on the back 9, but they didn't bother me.
As I said it's decent, I wouldn't play it ahead of Burnley, or Darwen, but I'd definitely play it again.

VERY GOOD VALUE
Played this course for the first time in September 2022 in lovely sunshine. Paid £19 which was very good value. For a Municipal the Greens were very well kept. The course is parkland with wide fairways. For the first time visitor it is fairly clear how to find your way around.Some of the tee boxes were a bit lumpy and not as well maintained as the greens. The course is a mixture of flat holes and some moderately hilly holes but for the older player I would say it is just about playable even for a player like me who has some mobility issues.
I would return to Towneley, based on price and the good greens. On the whole a good value for money experience.

Played today with 4 work colleagues, weather was mixed with some heavy showers , despite this the course was in good condition, the back 9 is more pleasing on the eye than the front . Not the longest course but we’ll set out & looked after , some testing holes in places , an enjoyable afternoon helped by playing 4 under handicap !(Round played: Jul 2020 - Score: 83 Handicap: 17.4)

Would definitely play here again. Thinking of bringing my golf society.
Great value for money. I’ve played many more expensive courses which were no way near as good as this.

What A Course
Where to start, Towneley Golf Course is a stunning course to play up and down course with no buggies so it is a good walk to get round, the location is very picturesque, the fairways are in immaculate condition as are the greens there is a brook that runs through the whole course so beware the water, when i found out this course was a municipal i didn't believe it, one of the best courses ive played in a while. will return 100%(Round played: Sep 2017 - Score: 86 Handicap: 22.1)

Nice track.
Nice course in great condition. Greens were terrific, credit to the greenstaff.Course has a brook running through it which challenges you to risk/reward. Some holes are relatively short par fours however narrow entry to greens and bunkers await wayward shots.
Great three course meal afterwards, stewardess was very friendly made sure we all ate well.
