First timer
Brand new to golf so made my debut here. Loved every hole even though my putting is awful. Can't wait to go back and see how much , or not, I've improved. Very impressed overall. Give it a go.Reviewer Rating

Superb course!
This course is always a pleasure to play, and they work hard to ensure it is always immaculate no matter the weather. Great test for the short irons.Reviewer Rating

Excellent little course, well worth a visit
Excellent, well kept little 9 holer. Friendly welcome, clean and well kept Greens. Plays quite quickly, doesn't ever seem to be overly busy. Some excellent little holes along the way with enough to keep you interested, some tricky shots and areas to avoid if you want to get round well. Well worth the ?8.Reviewer Rating

I only discovered this great little course a month ago, and boy what have I been missing!
it is by far the best par 3 course in the North West I have come across - the tee beds, fairways, bunkers and greens are all extremely good indeed, and don't forget your pitch repairer as the greens deserve to be kept as greate as they are.
the 1st and 9th are cracking little par 4's, but the gem in my opinion is the short 7th.
even the surroundings are easy on the eye, and you would never know you were in such a built up area.
Yarrow Valley in Chorley has long been a well liked par 3 around these parts, but it cannot hold a candle to Porters Wood in any respect!

Excellent 9 hole course, the condition of the course is a credit to the people that run it. If you want to sharpen up your short game and practice your par 3 game then look no further, the first hole and the last hole are both par 4\'s, everything in the middle are par 3\'s. I\'ll certainly be going back.

I have become quite a regular here this year, the course is by far and away the best maintained pay and play course in the area. A bargain at £7. The service is always friendly and the pub next door is very cheap!
