Quality

I usually play Blackburn when I get chance after work so we're always rushing round however this time we had an early tee and the weather was amazing.

Called into the shop and the pro was friendly and had a chat with us.

The course was in brilliant condition fairways were unreal and the greens were class.

The course itself is challenging enough and the members are always up for a chat and a laugh as you pass eachother.

The round itself isn't too expensive and the state of the course made it a bargain I've played some really expensive rounds and had worse conditions.

Stunner!

Early Sunday morning tee time. Biggest compliment I think you can give a course is that it’s fair. Tough holes & scorable holes. The 2 par 5’s on the back 9 have got to be up there for the best looking holes in Lancashire! Can’t wait to come back

Lovely course.

Not a bad thing to say about this course. Well maintained, easy enough to find myself round, and the staff were friendly + helpful.

I’ll definitely be making a return in the near future.
