Great Lever & Farnworth Golf Club

I have played this course on several occasions and today was the worst condition I have ever played. The greens were awful and on three greens the ball jumped 90 degrees off line and spoilt the day.

Played this course a few months ago in the good weather & it was great (previous review). But since the weather turned the greens are showing lots of wear, patchy & bumpy.

So we will not be playing the course again this year.

Not helped by us also being slowed down initially by senior player toddling along on his own at snail's pace.!!

There are better deals at better looked after courses.

Good course, really friendly members and staff. The greens were in excellent condition the only down fall for this course is it’s layout and on course directions we got lost a few times as there is no signage. The rough is a nightmare to get out of so get your driving on point. We will play here again definitely

Last played this course in Spring 2017. In the intervening year the maintenance of the course has definitely deteriorated. The fairways and greens were in poor condition - fairways full of weeds and not mown for at least two weeks judging by the growth of the 'daisies'. The greens were variable - some cut short others not and the tees were badly in need of attention. Compared to other courses costing the same per round and within five miles of this one Great Lever and Farnworth leaves a lot to be desired. I probably will not paly there again.

Ok course. Short of signs to next tee and also on some holes missing yellow tee markers. Having not played there before we had to keep looking for the correct tee. Course in ok condition but rough a bit too high . Staff friendly.

I had not played this course for several years, what a shame.... The course was in good condition despite the amount of rain the area had seen over the last five months. I booked the course through tee off times and started around 2.30 on my own. The course was quiet but the only downside are the few holes running near the M61 which does break the tranquility of the course, however block out the noise and enjoy the course.

Great course to play with very friendly staff. The condition of the course itself was very good considering that it was only the 3rd weekend in April and just coming out of the winter months. The greens was a little long and could do with rolling as they were bumpy in places, but I can imagine that in a few weeks when we start to get into the summer months these greens will be superb. Overall great course and will be sure to revisit.

Course starts & ends with tricky par 3s, has 2 par 5s in middle but rest are reachable par4s & 3s with plenty of doglegs.

Course in very good nick especially greens - bunkers in good condition despite no rakes

Played in a 4 ball with 18 -28 handicaps & all scored well, despite playing some holes in a stiff breeze (remnants of Ophelia). Round just over 4 hrs.

Only downside was a shortage of on course distance markers, and lack of signage for some tees. Course facilities also close at 2.30pm on some days.

Will definitely play again.

Played great lever lots of times spring/summer/autumn... this course is excellent value for the money... with a warm welcome straight through from the pro shop to members to the bar...don't know what your looking for if you can't enjoy yourself here for the price....

great reception in the pro shop, very helpful and understanding regarding being 5 min late due to traffic, easy walking, great greens and if you hit the generous fairways you are hitting a wedge in. interesting layout and could do with a signpost to show where to go when crossing the busy road after the 6th, we got lost! friendly reception in the clubhouse and made to feel very welcome. our saturday 4 ball generally play a different course every week for the past 5 summers, over 200 in all, and this would make it into the top 20 and we all said would play again.
