Course
The course became eighteen holes, from its original nine, in 1971.[1] Four of these holes (1, 2, 17 and 18) are located on the southern side of Forty Acre Lane and run north–south or south–north; the other fourteen, on the northern side of the road, follow the ridge of the fell, allowing for largely 180-degree views of not only the immediate West Lancashire area (most prominently the Vale of Chipping) but also into the Yorkshire Dales to the northeast.
