The course was a pleasure to play, the catering was superb. The members and staff at your club were friendly, helpful and made us feel very welcome. Our golf society is 36 years old, we have a regular monthly day out March to November. We also have 7 days of golf in May up in Scotland and 3 days away in the autumn. Our playing numbers can be anything from 20 to 36 golfers.Particularly post-Covid, it has been more difficult to book good quality society days out at reasonable prices. Many of the courses that we have played regularly for years have increased their green fees and package prices well beyond our price range - usually to target corporate and foreign visitors. So, we appreciate good, established clubs, like your own, that are still offering traditional society packages at a reasonable price.I'll be looking to organise our dates for 2025 later this year and I hope to be able to book a date at Wigan sometime during the summer months.

The course was good, the bar service was excellent, our experience dealing with the office was an excellent service, we will be back!   New Inn GS--Friday 19th July 2024 
 
Excellent, Bar and Catering Service, excellent course. The Office Team are very helpful. All your staff are brilliant.  Marsland Green G.S - 1st July 2024
 
All dealings with the office staff were efficiently dealt with by all involved! Although I have awarded the high scores, which are deserved all parties, the greenkeeper should be highlighted for his efforts in relation to the golf course.   Builders Merchant G.S - 6th June 2024
 
I just wanted on behalf of BT Aintree Golf Society for the wonderful day we had yesterday at Wigan Golf Club.
Everyone thought your course was beautiful, and even considering the rain what had fallen over the previous week the course held up really well.
The food was also very tasty and great value for money Kerry, so please thank your caterers for their fine efforts.
We look forward to seeing you all next year hopefully Kerry if you'll have us back.

Yesterday despite the inclement weather in the afternoon, around 120 ladies and gentlemen enjoyed a super day of golf and hospitality. This was made possible by the fabulous team at Wigan Golf Club who not only helped our planning but also engaged their own staff and volunteer members on registration, starting and car parking. The hospitality and catering was first class and the Club Shop also helped us source all the prizes, thank you to all at Wigan Golf Club. -  Wigan Youth Zone - 14th July 2023

I would like to say how much we enjoyed our Away Day at Wigan.
We were made to feel very welcome by you all.
The course is in good condition and our winning Lady had 41 points so she really enjoyed her game.
Our meal was very good and we all appreciated the lovely way we were all looked after by the chef and her team.
It was a great day I will always remember so thank you.   Ladies - Antrobus G.C - 25th May 2023

Thank you to everyone at Wigan GC for making my Captains "Away Day" such a memorable and enjoyable day. From my original enquiry to the actual day, nothing was too much trouble, the day exceeded my expectations. Everyone taking part in the day, thoroughly enjoyed.
My special thanks to Kerry and Stacey for organising and all their help in making the day such a success.

I am writing to thank you and Wigan Golf Club for the way that you hosted the Collinge Trophy on Wednesday 10th May. It was a great event, which all the players thoroughly enjoyed, both on and off the course.Everyone at the club went out of their way to ensure that the whole day went smoothly. Your greens staff are to be complimented on the course condition given the poor weather leading up to the event. I would also like to thank your catering team for providing us with food and beverages throughout the day. Particular thanks go to yourself for the organisation prior to the event and for being around on the the day to ensure that everything ran smoothly.   Lancashire Union- 10th May 2023
 
"I had never played golf before! I came through the ranks of the Arley Academy coached by Tony Byrom, and met lots of like-minded new friends.  My first occasion on the course was in Winter of 2018, and if ever I was going to give up golf, it was then, but the comradery of fellow Stepping Stone Members and the WGC members spurred me on. I recognised quite quickly that being protected inside the Academy walls with Tony correcting my grip, stance, and many other habits, was totally different from standing on the 1st Tee . Everyone was patient and totally supportive.  I had no problem in finding a "˜friend' to venture out onto the course with me.  We became "˜all weather' Buddies. I continued with my coaching during my Stepping Stone Membership and in no time at all the 10 sessions on the course had gone"¦"¦"¦"¦ I was hooked, without any hesitation I joined as a 3 day member, and now have a handicap and play golf regularly with members'  I can't get enough golf, and along with enjoying the social aspect, and the welcome I have received from everyone, there is no better Golf Club than Wigan Golf Club. From beginners to professionals everyone is welcomed at the same level. Since joining as a 3 day member, I have been to Portugal with the ladies that I met through coaching and played on numerous quality courses, and look forward to many more enjoyable trips. Golf at Wigan Golf Club has opened up a whole new world!"    Lady member
