Fantastic course, shame about the clubhouse

This course is in absolutely fantastic condition, especially given the torrential rain we had 24 hours before we played. It has some very long challenging par fives, plus a few equally challenging but shorter par threes. All in all this is a really enjoyable, challenging course. The only thing that lets it down is the clubhouse, which is extremely tired and in need of a makeover. It’s a great course if you just want to play and head home. If you are desperate for a pint after your round, maybe find one of the nicer pubs in Westhoughton.

Very good value for money

Played 18 x holes at Hart Common, the course was cut well , the greens was in great condition and the amenities such, as driving range and practice greens was great. Food and a beer later was a great end to the day.

We will be back, no doubt.

Cheers

Hart Common

Lovely course in great condition after a long dry summer. Robot mowers keep course in great nick with some lovely striping on fairways the greens and tee boxes in good condition. Alway a test Hart Common especially when the wind picks up and showers start but was dry on our visit this time. Highly recommend.

Great course

Probably the best municipal course I have ever played. Great layout. Nice speed and true greens. Cannot fault the course at all. Club house is nice and reasonably priced drinks. Had to wait on most tee boxes due to two slow groups in front but that isn’t the norm and can happen anywhere. £20 for a Friday morning game. You simply won’t beat that. Definitely recommended.

Over booked

Two many people booked in . Could get to tee off because Pensioners Comp teeing offat the same time . Was told to go play back nine first. Came to play front nine and still add tow many people waiting for teeing off . Then the grumpy staff member comes and tells me my dress code is not up to code because I had round neck tee shirt on .

Total ignorance and bad attitude. Didn't stay just left in discust. Very nice course . But they don't make you feel welcome as pay as you go player .

Brilliant course - pace of play poor

This course is fantastic and easily the best value for money in the area.

Pace of play can be very frustrating, was stuck behind a four-ball with each player taking multiple practice swings before every shot and holding play up for others.... everyone is entitled to play their round as they wish of course.....but please let those stuck behind you play through.

Abandoned my round at the 9th in the end.

Just unfortunate timing I think, I will definitely play again.
