What the club says: Houghwood Golf Club has a parkland golf course on the edge of the Lancashire Plain with spectacular views over to the Welsh Hills. Large receptive greens used all year and wide fairways provide a good test of golf without spoiling your enjoyment. Head Greenkeeper works closely with the STRI to produce consistently true putting surfaces.

Outstanding golf course some stunning memorable challenging holes coupled with Outstanding views from its elevated position.

If you are not a hill walker get a buggy as physically it is uphill nearly every hole

Course in excellent condition. Greens well cared for, fairways nice & trim. Only small issues are bunkers need more sand & tee boxes need more care.
