About Burnley
Burnley Golf Club ranks amongst the top five favourite courses of most golfers connected to the East Lancashire Golf Association. Those who visit always make a vow to return.It is a James Braid designed course which weaves across the West Pennine Moors making excellent use of the contours of the land.
Fair but challenging, the Glen View course (as Burnley Golf Club is known locally) stands on the fringe of the Habergham Eaves moors. It is a course which makes excellent use of the rolling countryside and offers a true test to golfers of every standard.
The course has a number of holes to challenge the best golfer but many would rate the 5th as the most difficult, with out of bounds all the way down one side and a water hazard (river) all the way across the fairway. This same river, incidentally, has to be negotiated on the 3rd, 4th and 17th holes.
As well as being a very pleasant place to enjoy a round of golf, Glen View offers magnificent panoramic views.
Visitors are assured of a warm welcome at Burnley.
