What the club says: Towneley Golf Club was established in 1932 and has been providing golf and clubhouse facilities successfully to the local area ever since. Featuring mature trees and some well placed ditches, this popular course provides a challenge to golfers at any skill level. Competitions are a regular attraction and tuition is available from the golf pro if you're looking to brush up your game.

Towneley is a municipal golf course located on the southern edge of Burnley within easy reach of the M65. It was originally established in 1932 as 9 hole layout, but was later expanded to the current 5834 yard, par 70 course. Set in mature parkland Towneley is a good test of golf despite its short length.

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.

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.
