Bacup Golf Course

Bacup Golf Course is an 18-hole course in the Rossendale Valley of East Lancashire, close to the moorland edges above the town. Par 70, it offers straightforward golf without pretension — the kind of course where locals build their game and visitors find a friendly reception. The club has deep roots in the community around Maden Road, and has maintained membership and play across generations of golfers from the surrounding area.

The course sits at elevation, which brings typical Pennine weather and challenging conditions depending on the season. For golfers seeking uncomplicated, accessible play in the Lancashire hills, Bacup provides a genuine alternative to more formal or remote moorland layouts.
