Wilpshire Golf Club

Formed on 20 June 1890, making it the oldest golf club in East Lancashire, Wilpshire began on a nine-hole course rented from a local farmer before James Braid redesigned it in the 1920s. The parkland-moorland course's opening holes use trees and greenside bunkers to punish wayward shots, but the 7th tee reveals sweeping views across the Ribble Valley to Blackpool Tower in the west and Pendle Hill and the Yorkshire Dales in the east.
