Lobden Golf Club

Lobden Golf Club sits on high moorland above Rochdale in Greater Manchester, an eighteen-hole course founded in 1888 that plays to a par of 70 over 5,661 yards from the white tees. The moorland setting places the course among the hills to the north-east of the town, close to the Long Causeway that runs up between Ramsden Hill and Crook Moor, giving golfers exposed, open views across the surrounding Pennine landscape. As one of the older clubs in the area, Lobden has a long history reaching back to the late Victorian period, and the layout reflects the natural contours of the moor rather than an artificially shaped modern design. The elevated position brings with it the changeable weather typical of upland golf in this part of the Pennines, with wind often a factor in how the course plays. Visitors are welcomed alongside members, and the club maintains current information on green fees and booking through its usual channels. For golfers looking for a traditional moorland test within reach of Rochdale and the wider Greater Manchester area, Lobden offers a course shaped by its landscape as much as by design.

Lobden Golf Club plays over 18 holes, a par of 70, and a length of 5,661 yards. The club dates back to 1888, giving it roughly 138 years of history in Off Shore.
