wide fairways course north west

[bruss49]

hello all,

Being prone to a bit of slicing and hooking between us, we are looking for any courses in the north west that have fairly open fairways for a bit of forgiveness.

any suggestions would be most welcome.

many thanks

What’s your budget and specific location mate?

Can't recommend mine then....

Very nice if you like heather, gorse and wind.

Budgets not really a factor to be honest, more an enjoyable day. We will be staying in Burnley the 5th September. thanks

Also a lot further north than Burnley...

Wherever you end up, enjoy.

I work near Blackburn and we tend to take beginners to a place called Oak Royal Country Club, it's a little 9 holer but with 2 different tee for each hole to turn it into an 18 holer. Really nicely kept little course and quite compact, which means if you slice or hook you just end up on adjacent fairway playing up, so no real punishment.

Thanks for this, very helpful

Staining Lodge if you fancy a daytrip to Blackpool

You will really struggle to get on most courses in the area on a Saturday (especially morning), members comps.
Maybe have a look on GolfNow for special offer tee times, and availability.

Forget here it's a bog.

Just been, it's horrible like in the middle of winter. Gave up after 5 holes.

As soon as we get a bit of rain (as we have her on the Fylde Coast), Staining gets like that. North Shore in Blackpool would be worth a look as thats wide and forgiving, but again suspect you won't be able to get on Saturday morning.

Oh, thats a shame, this had tee times avaialble too, and looked ideal. Thanks for the tip, one for a dry spell i think

Shame, would've been perfect

Have any of you played Towneley? what are you thoughts?

I've never known it to be bad before. I'm sure I must have actually played it the middle of winter too. I know now though!
