2. The Course : Ashton-in-Makerfield Golf Club prides itself in being the ideal venue for visiting parties. Only a few minutes from the M6, the Par 70 Parkland course is easily reached from most parts of the country. It is a challenging course that will bring the best out of every player.

3. Booking : The course is available to visiting parties on MONDAY. TUESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY and SUNDAY.

A deposit, as agreed with the Manager, must be returned with the reservation form otherwise the booking may be declined.

Cheques are to be made payable to  Ashton-in-Makerfield Golf Club Ltd .

5. Cancellations : Deposits will not be refunded in the event of the party cancelling the visit within six weeks prior to the visit, albeit, this will be at the discretion of the Manager.

6. Numbers : We do not restrict on minimum or maximum numbers. All Societies will be arranged through the Manager. However, should your Society be less than 20, you may share the day with another party, albeit this will have no impact on your arrangements.    

7. Tee Reservation: The 1st tee will be reserved from an agreed time, the length of the reservation being dependant upon the numbers in your party.    

8. Format of Play : All play will be from the YELLOW tee boxes for men and the BLUE tee boxes for ladies.

12. Course Maintenance : Although every effort will be made to ensure course maintenance does not interfere with your event, the weather or any other factor outside the control of the Club may indicate when the greenstaff carry out certain course maintenance. The Manager is empowered at his absolute discretion to amend the green fee to compensate for any inconvenience course maintenance work may cause.

13. Practice : Practice is only permitted on the assigned area adjacent to the 8th fairway and the ringed area adjacent to the 10th fairway.

15. Slow Play : If a match fails to keep its place on the course and loses more than one clear hole on the players in front, it should allow the match following to pass. Please keep up with the players in front and not just in front of the players behind. Thankyou.

16. Catering : Our resident Chef Greg Devine can provide a service to suit your party. Although our standard menu gives an excellent choice of meals we are willing to discuss any special requirements.
