About this course

Pleasington Golf Club sits on elevated moorland terrain above Blackburn in Lancashire, occupying a hillside site that provides expansive views across the surrounding countryside. The course was established in 1891, making it one of the older clubs in the northwest of England, and plays across undulating ground characteristic of the Pennine foothills. The routing takes advantage of natural contours and elevation changes that give the layout a varied, traditional character. The course measures around 6,300 yards from the back tees and features a mix of holes that move across and along the slope. Several holes play uphill or downhill with noticeable gradient, while others traverse more level ground on the higher portions of the property. The terrain creates natural strategic interest, with approach shots often requiring careful club selection to account for elevation. Mature trees frame many fairways, and the exposed setting means wind can be a significant factor in play. Pleasington operates as a members' club with a traditional Lancashire golf culture. The clubhouse occupies a prominent position on the hillside and serves as a social hub for the membership. The course has hosted regional amateur competitions over the years, reflecting its standing within Lancashire golf. For visitors, Pleasington offers a straightforward test of golf in a pleasant moorland setting, with the kind of honest, unpretentious character typical of established northern English clubs.
