Dean Wood Golf Club

It lies nestled in the softly undulating landscape of Lancashire just a few minutes away from the scenic town of Upholland. The club features a demanding 18 hole, par 71 course at a length of about 5,600 meters. The course begins with the newer, not too difficult 9 holes that were designed by the renowned professional golf player James Braid (1870-1950). The fairways at Dean Wood Golf Club are bordered by beautiful parklands and are a pleasant prelude to the second part of the course. This part is demanding and has a different layout. The fairways are mostly at an angle and the bumpy greens are small. This requires a high level of precision and technical skill. Players are rewarded with fantastic views of the gorgeous landscape of East Lancashire. Because the course is on a small hill, it offers views all the way to St. Helens, Liverpool or Wigan. The Dean Wood Golf Club has several teams and regularly hosts tournaments. There is a driving range, a Pro Shop, as well as a golf school on site. After the game, players like to meet at one of the lounges in the clubhouse, at the bar or at the restaurant. The golf club can be reached in just a few minutes by car from Skelmersdale or Wigan in the larger Manchester area via the M58 or M6.
