Summer conditions also mean the course is at its most vibrant. The lush green fairways and well-maintained greens provide the perfect playing surface, while the mature trees and landscaping create a truly spectacular backdrop for your game. The gentle Lancashire countryside comes alive in summer, with wildflowers dotting the rough and the River Wyre providing a peaceful soundtrack to your round.
