Werneth Golf Course

Greater Manchester, United Kingdom

Werneth Golf Club, founded in 1909, is located on the south side of Oldham in Greater Manchester, set within a conservation area known as the Garden Suburb. The 18-hole course occupies 62 acres, making it one of the smallest 18-hole courses by acreage in the North West. Originally a semi-moorland layout, it has evolved over a century to feature tree-lined fairways and strategically placed bunkers. Despite its compact size, Werneth presents a considerable challenge with small greens and narrow fairways that test golfers of all abilities. The course's terrain and setting reflect its historical moorland character, now enhanced by mature landscaping. The club welcomes new members and visitors, offering professional instruction and a golf shop. The clubhouse provides Lancashire hospitality with bar facilities and meal options, creating a relaxed, friendly atmosphere complementary to the on-course experience.
