Played Turton last weekend in typically Lancastrian November weather - wet underfoot and cold breezy drizzle that just stays wet all day! Incredulous members advised us that no-one else had ventured out but after some excellent bacon barms and coffee, we decided to give it a go. The £22 we paid would normally have been a bargain but unfortunately the tee boxes were mostly mats, we were obliged to pick off the fairways and place into the semi-rough and the winter greens were very small, making approaches and putting a lottery. It was such a shame because the fairways and full greens looked immaculate and the course will be a treat next Spring, when I look forward to returning. It's a delightful course with fantastic views and an excellent variety of holes. The signature hole (12th) normally needs a good drive for position followed by a mid-iron second down into a lovely sweeping valley with a stream down the right all the way - picture perfect. We could only admire the view as the hole had been cut down to a pitch and putt which was particularly disappointing. Unsurprisingly the bar staff and pro shop were shut when we got back (in need of a hot shower and a mug of tea), but in spite of that, I'll be back next year to enjoy one of the best looking courses in Lancashire.

Slow awful greens (Members told me they are flat for a couple of months in their prime each year, but never fast) - Poorly defined fairways and bunkers which range from augusta sand up to your knees to clay-pits.

Nice views, but I expect more for my hard earned money.

our society had a 27 hole game on sunday last, weather a little bit damp but the course played as a great course should, ( as it should in sunny weather ).

as others say, it is hilly, but fantastic views make it all worth while.

congratulations to the staff, greenkeepers and members for making our visit welcome. and we will visit again.

A very tricky but hugely enjoyable course that rewards the golfer for good shots - even a big lumbering 18 hanicapper like myself! Fantastic views and well laid out holes - watch out for the 17th green, very easy to putt off as I found!!

A very hilly course so take a trolley or hire a buggy if you're a bit "rotund" like me.

A very nice course with some testing shots. I played it for the first time and found the greens very tricky, even when it looks straight it ain't!

Do not play it if weather looks iffy coz it is exposed. We played on 2for1 which was good value, at full price I am not to sure.

nice course, but where are all the signs? A bit like orienteering with a golf bag trying to navigate round. Up and down dale and then back and forth, which didn't do anything for the mood of the group behind us. Invest in some signs Turton and some decent tee-bed markers and you've got a good course.
