Overview

The course’s location on the edge of the forest of Bowland in the Ribble Valley makes this an ideal site for a few days off the beaten track exploring rivers, old villages, a Roman camp and an abbey or two. Here, the fairways are carpeted with thick turf which prevents balls from ever rolling too far, trees abound but the fairways are wide and the rough not too severe. A few water hazards threaten and readily swallow up any miscued shots, but they are there to be seen and so won’t cause any unpleasant surprises.

As on many of James Braid’s courses, a sharp short game is of the essence, as is skill in rolling the ball onto the greens. This is another course that deserves rehabilitation, even if its short yardage may not always be to the liking of golfers who hit the ball a long way. But as long-hitters sometimes tend to hook the ball, the out-of-bounds areas down the left on the front 9 will teach them something about life. The course has changed very little and recent work has been devoted to the clubhouse.
