Great Course
Great course, great condition would play again or join.
Good condition considering
Most courses around the north west are very wet at the moment but Darwen seems to drain pretty well considering. Couple of things to probably check before you book though as not made apparent when i booked. Only a random selection of 9 holes were open and all on temp greens. Also no guarantee you can play those 9 twice due to tee slots.
I'll definitely try to play again here when fully opened as looks like a nice course with some great views of the surrounding area.
Lost
It's always a dissaplintment when you find winter greens.. Would have been nice to let us know before paying full price... But when they take over 100 yards off some holes it makes you wonder what the point is..... No effort to resite the 150 markers, or even decent signs on where to go...... I played the 3rd hole, only to be told it was the 17th, and got lost a further 3 times.... Those things ruin a round and I won't risk playing there again.
Decent course
Few hilly holes on the back nine. All in all a good course. Unfortunately they were working on greens preparing for winter. Will definitely play here next summer.
Best value for money course in the area.
I got this tee on a hot deal for £10. I'd played here before and thoroughly enjoyed it. Playing here again I looked forward to even more especially with the nice weather.
Course is well looked after and always has green staff out working.
Only down side was no pro shop or clubhouse open at 8:30am for me to get a card and also to access clubhouse afterwards as it wasn't open.
Early tee time, course in great condition. Probably the best in the area. Will be visiting again thanks to the ground staff good work.
One of the best value courses in the area
Played here once before in the winter and thoroughly enjoyed it, even in the cold and rain. I swore i'd return once the weather picked up, so I did.
Course is well maintained, tricky layout, staff are all friendly, members also.
I paid £13 on a hot deal for a round here and honestly that's a steal, I feel bad only paying that much for such a great course.
Definitely use a trolley as the holes are very up and down, the 15th is called "heartbreak" for a reason. I carried and got round ok, but next time I'll bring a trolley.
Beautiful but challenging
2nd time we’ve been here, and we were just as impressed as the first time. The wind was blowing which made the longer holes more tricky. Set in wonderful surroundings, with a great clubhouse and friendly staff and members, what’s not to love!
Great course in great condition
One of toughest courses I’ve played but still appeals to all levels. Greens in great condition and par 4 hole layouts really challenging even the shorter ones.
Would definitely recommend
Number 1 in the area.
Very good condition,, views are stunning. Wildlife everywhere.
I honestly don't know of a better course in the area and I have played most of them.
Darwen
Excellent course, would visit again did not use the facilities due to the current situation with Covid
Why have I never played here before???
Awesome just awesome true test of golf. Windy uphill downhill dog legs it has everything. Fell like I've robbed the course £10 to play on a dry course full greens. Not going to lie back 9 is tough on the legs but the breakfast wrap I had before going out kept me going. Give this course a go its brilliant
Course in great condition
Excellent value Golf at Darwen, as always. Millionaire’s golf on the back nine, as always. Recommended, as always.
Good challenge
Course was in excellent condition, even after the poor weather recently. The only downside was how hilly the course was, I’d recommend using a buggy.
Course in fantastic condition.
Darwen is always a delight. I’ve not been since last year and it’s looking really, really good.
The greens are like ice rinks, but they run very true.
At £15, a bargain, my only minor gripe being finishing after 10pm in near darkness due to slightly slow pace of play.
Well recommended.
Great Course
Played this course a few times but this most recent time was exceptional. The only downfall is that there’s no practise net. It does have a range though but if you’re tight like me and don’t want to have to pay for just a few warm up shots it’s slightly annoying. The only that negative is that the function room was hired out for something and the music was ridiculously loud as we were tearing off and coming back to the 18th. Other than that the course was in great condition and I’ve recommended it to my golf group for our next tourni!
