Services
Bolton Golf Club was founded in 1891 when an enthusiastic band of golfers formed the first club on land in Green Lane, Farnworth, adjoining Bolton Cricket Club with the cricket pavilion being used as a temporary clubhouse. This was followed by a move to Hollin Hey, Smithills where a 9 hole course was laid out in the vicinity of the moors.
Matthew brings a vast amount of knowledge and experience to the club having done his PGA training at Morecambe Golf Club then moving on to two illustrious positions as Head of Instruction at Gleneagles followed by his appointment as Head Professional at The Belfry.

His involvement in the 2014 Ryder Cup was a major highlight at Gleneagles along with creating The Gleneagles Foundation, a junior programme designed to grow golf in Scotland and develop young talent.During his time at The Belfry he managed the golf academy team for coaching and custom fitting, where he made significant developments to the ladies and junior sections, two areas which he is extremely passionate about.

The course was in very good condition, it was disappointing that my play could not respond to the quality of the course. We were made to feel very welcome in the club house and the beef meal was superb, of the highest quality. Will return and hopefully play better!

Played on 04/04/2021 and couldn't complain about the course. Fairways, tee's and greens all in great condition. A great, challenging course which I've always admired being a local resident for over 25 years. Course wise its excellent. I was left with a sour taste as described below.
My only complaint was the club shop assistant. When I went to show my online booking the assistant couldn't 'find it on the system'. I showed the booking and email confirmation on my phone to the assistant but was then told that it is members only today 'I can rebook you in for 2 weeks time'!!
It was only when I refused

I left a negative review in April as the greens were awful......
I feel it’s only fair to say that we went today and i must say the course is in fantastic condition. The greens were honestly some of the best we have played on this year πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ» The way the course has changed from early on in the year is an absolute credit to them. well done

Just a note re my wife Jackie’s Wake on Monday 6th Jan . Approx. 100 people joined us at Bolton Golf Club for an excellent hot & cold buffet lunch which was very well stocked, great variety and very cost effective. Jon and Kris, and all the staff, at the club looked after us to perfection and which dignity and compassion. Nothing was too much trouble and all our guests were given the same attention. We would highly recommend this location for this type of event, and indeed any other event. Again, a Five* Star venue. Thank you.

We held our daughters party at the club and couldn't have asked for a better venue.
The food was excellent and served promptly.
Bob and Chris were great behind the bar and the resident DJ's played a great set.
Special thanks to Jon the hospitality manager who helped us plan the night and was on hand all evening to make sure everything went smoothly. Five stars deserved.
