Course excellant

Had a great game at nelson today with friends. Course excellent after all the recent rain. Clubshop very friendly and even gave us 10% off food and drink in the clubhouse which unfortunately we couldn't use this time but will definitely use when we return hopefully quite quickly.

Nelson is a great golf course if you can miss the Burnley rain which we did this time 😁.

Very nice course

Played this with two friends, lovely course in excellent condition other than the greens were being heavily sanded as we played, this just slowed them up a touch but did give us a good line to the hole at times. Thoroughly enjoyed it lovely aspects.

A new low

Ruined by an officious clubhouse staff member who drove up to the first green and told me and my son that we would be escorted off the course if we played off the fairway again without a matt.

We forgot matts sorry and didn't know the ruiles which is entirely our fault but it didn't warrant being spoken to like that.

Lovely track but we won't be playing there again.

Great course, hilly and challenging

Very windy day made golf challenging, exposed course with hills. Great greens, only minor issue is drainage as some standing water. Overall would highly recommend.

Exceptional Value For Money

Can’t put into words how impressed I am with this course, what an absolute gem.

Paid on a hot deal and loved every second of it. Every hole is different, complete test of golf with elevation changes; green positioning and design, bunkering the whole package.

For £21.99 I haven’t played anywhere better value. This place should be easily double.

Five stars.

A Gem

What a fabulous course. Mature parkland / moorland mix. Tucked away in East Lancs great views, some incredibly interesting holes. Greens true and quick. Imagine when the wind blows it could be a beast as it is pretty high and exposed.
