đ Oldham, North West
Affordable 9-hole pitch and putt course at Oldham's highest elevation, with panoramic views across Manchester on clear days. A round takes around 45-60 minutes. Putter, iron, balls, and scorecard included in the entry fee.
A great little golf course. Excellent value at ÂŖ4.50 per adult and I think ÂŖ3.50 per child (but I'm not 100% sure of the children's cost). The cost per round of 9 holes includes the hire of a putter and iron as well as two golf balls and the score card and pencil. It has some beautiful views and is especially great on a nice sunny day (but you may need a hat, drink and some suncream if it's too hot as there isn't much shade). It took two of us around 45 - 60 minutes to complete the 9 holes. They also have a cafe selling some food, drinks and ice creams. Some areas of the course can be boggy (especially if it has been recently raining) so suitable footwear is advised. The club has no dress code and bank holiday times vary so you may want to call up before going if it's later on in the day.
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children old enough to swing a putter and walk 9 holes â around 45 to 60 minutes per round. The views are the standout feature and the value is hard to match. Choose dry days for the best experience: the course gets boggy after rain, and the exposed hilltop position means it can be chilly even in summer.

âLoved it here! Staff are very friendly and helpful and so are the fellow golfers who frequent this venue. The prices are amazing - ÂŖ6.5 for 96 balls on the driving range + they provide the club. The scenery is very nice and it was a pleasure to play on. Definitely would come back again!â

âGreat experience. 6 of us went. The ground were busy, but the lady came out and advised us to stay at a less busy hole and work our way roundâ

âNice little place to visit, small carpark, and a little short walk to the top, the views on a clear day are amazing, on a good day, probably see 20+ miles, views into Manchester and beyond, as this is the highest place in Oldham it can get a little chilly, so take a coat just in case.â
