Hidden gem!

Superb course in superb condition!! Proper hidden gem of a course. Technical but not overly difficult in that it can be forgiving of wayward play off the tee on some holes. But the rough is unforgiving on some too.

We played on a glorious sunny still day, I can imagine it’s a brutal challenge in windy conditions but an enjoyable one.

Stunning Course

Great course. Very hilly up and down. Lovely greens and nice pace. Incredible views over Rossendale valley and Manchester also.

Some tricky fairways, but a good challenge.

Great course

Great course in really Good condition. Fantastic views in all directions. I would recommend people try the course.

Our round was spoilt in part by being behind 4 old men who were very slow and wouldn’t let us through. We were a 2 ball and we play at a decent speed. Then to top it off we was stuck on 2 holes waiting for the grounds men doing the pin holing on the greens. In total was best part of 5 hours for the round and we missed 2 holes to get finished in time for other commitments. Wouldn’t mark the course down for our experience and will play again at some point

GEM

Lovely little gem of a course. Me and my wife played the course on 2/04, there were some small areas of water logging as to be expected with the weather conditions over the last couple of months but definitely held up well compared to other courses in the area.

I can only imagine how good this course will be in the next couple of months, can’t wait to get back out there once the course has dried out completely. I can image it being a good challenge especially on the 12th.

Amazing Views across Greater Manchester

I was spoken to pretty rudely about winter mats, I was playing from the rough as well! Signs everywhere saying you need to be quick. Layout is up and down, it could have been laid out much better. Don’t think any of us are in a rush to play here
