Well maintained course good views

Greens are very nice looked after, cut well, fairways and rough good lengths, rough not too long so finding ball is ok when you slice or draw a shot haha. Speaking of which, there are quite a few dog legs almost 90 degrees in 1 case so being able to draw the ball or aiming left off the tee is good to shorten the hole. or lay up. Some narrow fairways from the tee so tests accuracy and get off line and you are punished. Overall a nice course, a few holes with water, some elevated greens, great views around, played on competition day saturday so a few 4 ball members quite slow and wouldn't let me play though as a 1-ball, I would not go on a competition day again as was being held up by duffers and spending 10mins looking in the rough for lost balls.. overall I would recommend it for the course.

Well managed challenging course

The condition of the course is great, greens quite fast and well cut, fairways and rough good withsome tricky narrow ones and tricky tee shots. A few dog legs, most to the left so good if you can draw the ball or lay up with irons. Played on competition day saturday so was quite quite slow playing 4 balls so got held up twice during the round. Other than that its a good course few water hazards and course is well looked after that's quite important to me. Par 71 shot an 83, not bad.

Nice Course, Decent Greens, Great Views, HILLY!

A lovely new course to play, some great views from on top of the course. Majority of greens in great condition, one or two were a bit patchy.

Electric Trolley recommended due to the elevation, but would recommend playing this course.

Very hilly.

First time playing this course and honestly it wasn’t a bad one, there are massive hills and a fair few fairways that are on a near enough 45 degree angle as a result of the hills. Greens weren’t amazing quite bumpy and hard to read and a fair distance to walk between some holes. Not sure if it was to do with the recent heat but quite a few of the tee boxes were Just devoid of grass. Was good for a first time but wouldn’t play it again I don’t think and at £22 a head there are cheaper and better options out there.

Great Course

Just wanted to say what a cracking course this is! Had a 10.20 Tee, never played here before and all the staff were amazing! The Members were friendly and helped point me in the right direction a few times!

Some great long drives available followed up with some technical finishes. Definitely worth taking a look at the holes before you play but the back 9 was cracking!

Everything ran quick today, no hold ups and the ball just didn’t want to stop! Great for getting that little bit closer - helped my game out today!

Thanks to Ste one of the Green Keepers’ for some well received pointers!

Will definitely be back soon

Great course. Really enjoyed it.

Some sneaky holes where if you dont know where to hit it, can easily lose a ball though.

Will gladly play again.

Uprated since i last played here 15 years ago.

As a past member of this course i have just returned to have my first game of golf here since 2004. The course has now been upgraded with 3 new holes i had not seen before ( done i believe over 10 years ago) and a great addition they are. The course is now par 71 and a good test of golf , not a long course but get your drives away well and there are birdies to be had. The course and greens were excellent and with the glorious weather it was a very enjoyable round around my old stomping ground and shooting only 4 over i came off happy.

Cracking course

Given its location on the side of the hills just outside Bury, it isn't actually as hilly as you might think.

Great mix of wide open holes and more technical ones. Given the very hot weather recently the course is in great condition with only a couple of weathered greens!!

Staff are fantastic and really helpful with frisr time players.

Excellent golf course north of Bury

Walmersley golf course just north of Bury was a testing course for both my son and myself. Well designed course with three difficult par 3s, two long par 5s and the rest par 4s

Very friendly and welcoming club with great views of the moors, Manchester and the surrounding countryside and for £14 each we will be back

Disgraceful state

this used to be a very good course with the best greens bar none.

it now has the accolade of having the worse greens I have played on for 20 years & will not be playing there again. Also the road to get to the course is in a dreadful state

'Pleasant surprise'.

First time played the course and was expecting a so so hilly trek; couldn't have been more mistaken. Hilly true but not mountainous with some very enticing holes not to mention spectacular views to boot. Pro was very welcoming on arrival kicking the round off on the right foot. Course in good nick considering the recent poor wet weather - definately one to play and great value.
