Course held up ok very slow play though

Course itself and staff friendly and in good condition considering weather recently although greens where not greatest. But unfortunately only got to play 11 holes as we got back logged by 3 sets of 3 ball females and. One would let us through and got to the point 3 groups all waiting at same tee box and it took us over 30 mins for one hole so we had to leave at hole 11.

Played Great Lever and Farnworth GC. What a brilliant day out. Fantastic course, great and friendly staff (couldn't do enough for me). The course was in amazing condition. Finding some of the tees was a bit tricky, but I would 100% play there again and also recommend to my friends, family and golf buddies.

I haven't played this course for over 4 years. I was pleasantly surprised with the great condition of the course and improved layout. Well worth £20.
