Deane Golf Club

Deane Golf Club is a parkland golf course located west of Bolton, founded in 1906, making it one of the oldest courses in the district. The course is situated in a picturesque valley setting along the River Croal, offering scenic views of Rivington and the West Pennine moors. This 18-hole layout combines classic parkland design with natural landscape features that provide an engaging golfing experience for players of all abilities.

The course is established as a private members' club that welcomes visitors and maintains a friendly atmosphere. Its setting among the moorland foothills presents a moderate to challenging layout typical of traditional parkland courses from this era. The 18th hole is particularly notable, featuring views that overlook the clubhouse and function facilities, making it a distinctive finishing hole.

Beyond golf, the club operates as a comprehensive leisure facility, hosting tournaments, competitions, and social events. The club offers memberships across various categories for different ages and abilities, along with visitor green fee access. Modern amenities include custom club fitting services and a golf simulator, complementing the traditional course experience.
