About this course

Leyland Golf Club sits in the town of Leyland, roughly midway between Preston and Chorley in Lancashire. The club was established in 1922, and the course occupies gently rolling parkland typical of the region. The layout moves through mature tree-lined fairways with modest elevation changes that add variety without imposing severe climbs. The land drains reasonably well for Northwest England, though winter conditions can soften the playing surfaces as is common across Lancashire courses. The design reflects the practical parkland architecture of the interwar period, with straightforward holes that reward accurate driving and approach play. Several holes incorporate natural features and established woodland, creating definition and strategic interest without relying on artificial hazards. The greens are generally well-protected by bunkering, and the routing makes efficient use of the available property. The course measures around 6,200 yards from the back tees, a length that suits club golfers while still presenting a test for better players. Leyland serves a local membership and functions as a traditional members' club with regular competitions and social activities. The clubhouse provides the usual amenities for members and visitors, and the club maintains a calendar of internal events throughout the season. The course is accessible to visitors by arrangement, offering a representative example of Lancashire parkland golf without pretense. It occupies a quiet position within the town, providing a green space for the community and a straightforward round for those familiar with the region's golf offerings.
