For a truly testing moorland course, you would do well to try your hand at taking on the one at Nelson Golf Club. It has the distinction of having been designed by legendary golf course architect Dr. Alistair Mackenzie, one of the most influential designers of all time and the man responsible for some of the finest courses in the world. Therefore, you know you are in for a treat here. The par-4s are tricky and well test how good you are with your irons and how accurate you can shoot whilst the par-3s are rather troublesome.

The course celebrated its centenary in 2002 and remains as popular a choice with golfers in Lancashire today as it has been in years gone by.
