Fantastic course

We got paired to play with two members which worked out ideal. Not only did we get some great course insight and knowledge but they were both really nice guys.

Course Is really nice. In great condition. The greens are rapid so that took some adjustment.

Will be visiting again and possibly looking into membership next year.

Gutted

The only thing that let the place down was we were locked in. We had no way of getting out because of the barrier. Everything was locked up and required a members card to open it.

Please let us know a code to get out next time

Interesting course to play

First impressions, the visitor/overflow car park was full, and therefore had to park on the grass. Another negative was there was very little signage to point to the next tee. We were also following a 5ball? On a number of holes, there was a tee close to a green, which was a little off-putting for us. But we enjoyed the course overall, found the greens to be a nice pace, some interesting holes, but such a shame the amount of divots that have been left.

Greens to die for

This course has always been in good condition, but today the greens were perfect.

Ran so true and with a good pace.

The rest of the course was lovely. Tough testing track as well. Does help to play a couple of times as some shots will catch you out. A lot of undulating ground which can punish you if on the wrong side of it.

Members are very friendly.

Bolton Golf Club

A lovely course to play, greens quick and well looked after. Some holes have a significant slope so even good drives ended up in the rough due to the dry course having no rain.

Would play again

Fantastic Condition

Played this course for the first time and was very impressed with the experience, from the friendly reception we received in the pro shop staff and the fantastic condition of the course the greens were better than many others are in the summertime. This is one I can’t wait to play again.

Greens closed due to frost

Amazing course, this was the second time we played and was looking forward to playing again.

Ended up massively disappointed as the greens were closed when we turned up due to frost. No issue with them being closed but you would think the club would have the decency to ring up and inform visitors booked on before we turned up. Not to mention the website course status was not updated to say greens closed. The status informed us that the full course was open...

All in all a wasted day and a huge waste of money.

Bolton GC

Like most inland courses suffers from damp and winter conditions and will get better as weather improves. Condition generally average, greens slow and bumpy with some bare patches. Fairways ok with some bare patches.

For the price it was a good golfing experience although very windy and quite cold.

What a beauty!!!

First time playing this course but it won’t be the last. It’s hilly at times, mainly between tees but not too taxing to make it unjoyable. It had some lovey holes. Luckily the pro was great at explaining the 7th and 13th. If you haven’t played, don’t go further than 200 off the tee. The greens were the only downside, you couldn’t chip and run you would go through the green, every time. You had to either get a lot of spin or tower shots in. The greens were also patchy but ran pretty true to their credit. Recommend anyone to play. Especially on a hot deal.
