Blackburn golf course is a parkland course with superb views of the Lancashire coast and Pennine Hills. The club was founded in 1894 at the height of Blackburn's power as a cotton and engineering town. The driving force was Walter Stirrup, who wrote in the Diamond Jubilee Handbook of 1954:
"Below me lay a green, wide and pleasant land, so lovely and intimate, so endearing, as to awaken in my heart a real warm and abiding affection. The scene was an invitation: it was just the place where people could find a healthy and refreshing change from the toil and strife of daily life."

Set amongst rolling hills, the parkland course boasts immaculately manicured greens and lush fairways, offering a true test to any level of golfer. Vast improvements over the intervening years include new drainage, maturing trees and new bunkers.
