Marsden Park Golf Club, Lancashire

Nelson, Lancashire

Pay-and-play at this brilliant East Lancashire layout

Offering reasonable prices and stunning views over East Lancashire and Pendle Hill, Marsden Park is a must-visit club for players of all abilities.

18 midweek holes can be had for as little as ?13, while even a weekend round will never cost you more than ?15. Nine-hole packages are also available for less than ?10.

But do not let the prices fool you. The course is crafted into nearly 6,000 yards of attractive semi-parkland and boasts a collection of holes that would grace a far dearer course.

Take the signature 17th, for instance. Also the toughest on the course, the 363-yard par-four features a drive over mature trees as well as a sloping fairway and out of bounds stretch. To make matters trickier, the elevated green is guarded by a bunker and a severe slope to the right of the putting surface.

The course is crafted into nearly 6,000 yards of attractive semi-parkland and boasts a collection of holes that would grace a far dearer course.

Other notable holes include the drivable par-four fourth and the 16th ? known as ?Cardiac Hill? due to the severe upwards slope you have to navigate ? which requires two of your very best hits to reach the green.

Away from the course, the club boasts spacious function facilities which can be hired free of charge. The room is big enough to seat 40 people or 70 if standing, while a range of catering options are available to suit any need or budget, from hot and cold buffets to a three-course meal.

The club also boasts a well-stocked pro shop that stock a range of top brands including Titleist, Ping, Cobra, Callaway, Galvin Green, Footjoy and Taylormade.

Visitor and society packages are available to help you make the most of your stay in the region. ?
