Oldham Golf Club

I don't want to be harsh but this course is very hilly and very slopey not really for me , the greens weren't in great condition, a lot of the bunkers full of weeds and stones some really bare and the tee boxes all wonkey and bare.

Now to be fair we have had a lot of dry weather so I get that it's hard keeping the course in good condition but I think more could be done. The staff in the pro shop were nice enough can't fault them , not sure if the club house was open for a pint and something to eat it didn't look like it and there is also no warm up/practice facilities no putting green or nets. I paid £12.99 on a hot deal so my round was cheap enough but I wouldn't want to pay much more than that, it's OK for a knock as long as you are physically fit enough to get up and down the hills , I hate to be harsh or sound like a snob but I'd rather be honest.

Oldham golf course is a quite challenging golf course.

The lower first nine holes are quite flat then the incline starts.

From then on the course all slopes down to the right.or the left if your playing the opposite direction.

It carries on going up hill on every hole until the 16th which is a short par 3 then onto the long downhill 17th before going towards the clubhouse at the 18th.

The course could do with some attention to the bunkers and the greens which I've been told the New greens keeper is working on them and should be alot better next year.

Great course with some amazing views or Oldham and Manchester

Played oldham today, bit of an so/so round, checked in with club shop and the staff were excellent very friendly gave all info needed and open for a chat,

Course front 8 fairly flat and from 9 onwards a-lot of up and down hills not to bad tho,

Greens could of been better, couple of old cup sites where grass was sat up slightly, bunkers quite rocky and alot of them didn't have rakes.

Overall i would do it again as its a cheap round of golf.

After playing at this course 24 years ago i can say not much has changed.

The odd tree cut down from the practice area and the occasional retainer post missing on the 10th green.

Something that will come as a shock.. NO insurance = No driver of the first!

It’s a rule thats been in place since i was a Jr here and it hasn't changed.

You need to be straight, this course doesn’t allow for way ward shots..

Opportunities arise to score and you can score good!!

Don’t be afraid to take the green on from the tees, they are reachable from the whites and you can score!

A few holes to watch out for…

3rd - a valley to drive over.

4th - the bunker.

6th - The longest Par 4 you will play..

And that is just the front 9!!!

A fun and over all round with great weather.

Nice day for golf, course great , greens fast. Only played the lower 9.

Greens weren’t in great shape but good course nice layout mostly short and challenging holes. The 17th tee had the best tee box view I’ve ever seen. Will be a top course for the summer days greens in better condition, will certainly be coming back.

I've played this course many times, usually in summer. It's usually in top condition, and the holes are interesting and challenging; especially the back 9 which is very hilly.

The course was in good condition considering we've only just left winter. And only 1 green was closed, with a temporary one in its place.

I'd recommend playing from mid Spring to Autumn if you can.

Some of the worst greens I’ve played for years , gone down hill since I last played 3/4 years ago

Played this course for the first time. For the price on a hot deal is the only way I'd play it again. Course layout is slightly confusing, playing off winter tees that are in need of being replaced and the greens were horrible.

Members and staff were friendly and welcoming my only gripe was the greens and the winter tee mats.

Not to busy after 12pm..got round the course with no issues only problem would say the 17th is bad and you can't find your ball cos it plucks..

This course has got unbelievable views of Manchester which are stunning. Unfortunately the course could do with being kept a little better. The tee off boxes were quite over grown and patchy when I went round.

£12 a round makes it really accessible but the divots on most greens puts me off going back. Many blind tee shots and marker posts in the wrong places makes it difficult to know where to aim, especially when playing it for the first time. Excellent price though and would be great for beginners. Very picturesque course too.

Nice course , well kept and not too difficult. Very quiet when we went so no hold ups. Would definitely recommend.
