Nice Course
Nice course, some nice and unique holes with well maintained fairways and greens, definitely would recommend.
First time playing and both me and my playing partner said what a nice course it was. It’s quite hilly so would recommend a buggy. There’s some really nice holes and the greens and fairways were in great condition. Unfortunately nothing is open on a Monday and the pro shop wasn’t open when we got there so wasn’t able to get a drink or anything before the round. Would definitely recommend a visit
Blackburn golf course
This is a really good course a few mind challenging holes there seemed to be loads of flies flying around and a couple of killer hills but deffo a very nice course will be deffo be back 😊
Absolute cracker!
Best course I have played on. The weather was excellent, the greens the best we have seen. Highly recommended. Definitely requires alot of effort around. Needs a buggy or electric trolley.
Fantastic
Course was in fantastic condition.
Great layout and great holes.
Best golf of the year for me.
Its like a mix of parkland and links.
Great course.
Overpriced and Poor Conditions
The course is very average, however the amount paid compared to other courses, such as Stonyhurst calls into question why it is expensive. The pro shop and clubhouse are average but they do exist and are staffed which is good. Not sure if the green keeper is on strike, but the fairways were poor and patchy in some places. Signage is good and it’s easy to navigate the course which is one positive I could take. The other golf users are very friendly. Overall average course enjoyed the round but felt as though it is overpriced.
Stunning
It was a pleasure to play this course today. What a wonderful piece of property! Bravo
Great
Course has dried out more. Fairways were great and nice to be off normal tees. Great golf at a great price. Bargain at £20.
Great value for money
Booked through golf now for £20 which was a bargain. Some great elevated tees with great views. Been a member at shaw hill for years so it was nice to be able to open the shoulders and let rip with the driver on a lot of the holes. Will come back again in the summer .
Hidden Gem
Played this course as a last minute choice.
Fantastic experience.
Bit wet still in places but some fantastic holes.
10 and 13 are two incredible par 5s.
Hilly and testing.
Friendly welcome from staff and members with a great atmosphere in the bar.
Will definitely be back.
Better direction
The course has had a fair amount of work done to it over this winter and with that the first few holes had a lot of buggy tracks but didn’t really take away much from the round and more drainage will help in the future. The course offers some interesting holes but could really do with better signage to get you to the next hole, myself and my friend were half way up the 8th before we realised we’d missed a few holes out. If you are going to play in wetter months it was very wet in places but the greens were all on proper greens when we were there although there were temp greens set up. All the staff were very friendly and helpful the club house is lovely and it is well worth a visit.
Winter golf, ready for the summer
Great course. Greens still great even though it's winter. The lads in the club house where great after our round!
Great condition
Played the course on the 2nd of February and it was in great condition for the time of year.will definitely play again.
