Our Entrance A visit to Bolton Old Links provides a memorable experience - 18 uniquely challenging holes, superb conditioning, panoramic views, a traditional clubhouse, real ale and high quality catering.

This superb test of moorland golf was opened in its present form in 1924 and owes much of its layout and design to the famous golf architect Dr Alister MacKenzie, who was responsible for Augusta National amongst other famous courses.

The course has been selected as a venue for Professional Events, including the European Satellite Tour, the Wilson PGA Championship and more recently the Exel Golf Tour.

Our Clubhouse The Club is situated at Montserrat, some three miles north west of Bolton, and is approached via Chorley Old Road, which runs between Bolton and Horwich.

Golf News

The Old Links Trophy for 2009 was a great success despite very wet conditions prior to the start of the event. Even so, in wet and windy conditions players managed some excellent play headed by home player Ste Bryan. Ste was inspired in his second round of 69, played in strong winds and difficult conditions; his great round enabled him to overtake local golfer Andy Runciman (Deane GC) who also had a score of 69 in the first round. Emphasizing the strong field second place overall was taken by Mark Young this year's Lancashire Champion with two excellent rounds of 73 and 71.
Many failed to master the course and conditions confirming Bolton Old Links as a course to be reckoned with.
