Rochdale Golf Club, founded in 1888, features an 18-hole course constructed on Bagslate Moor over 100 years ago. The layout plays to par 71, with the white tees measuring 6,040 yards and a course rating of 69.60 with a slope of 126. Multiple tee options accommodate different skill levels, from red tees at 5,334 yards to yellow at 5,729 yards. Located on the edge of the Pennines at the Norden/Bamford border, the course is characterized by rolling fairways and countryside views. The terrain includes four par-3 holes and four par-5 holes distributed across the front and back nines, providing variety in shot-making requirements.
