Built on undulating moorland, Darwen golf club has a challenging 18 hole course that measures 6354 yards from the white blocks, with a standard scratch of 71.

The front nine is a jewel by any standards and has many water features, which in summer is abound with lilies and aquatic plants, the ponds are also well stocked with Koi Carp, which can be seen basking near the surface during the summer months.

Whilst undulating, the front nine is in more of a parkland setting and is a pleasure to play, not too demanding but still challenging.  The back nine is the more undulating and moorland of the two halves, with some challenging holes for all levels of golfer.

The views from the higher levels of the back nine are breathtaking with the Ribble Estuary, Blackpool Tower and the Big One, easily visible on most days, with the Welsh Mountains and Pennine Chain also visible on clear days.

The surrounding countryside is beautiful, with Darwen Tower built in 1897 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, dominating the landscape and visible wherever you are on the course.
