Rossendale Golf Club was founded in 1903 and opened as a nine hole course. The clubhouse was a converted cottage with golf played on agricultural land and amongst crops and farm animals. Through the years, the club developed with growing membership and now has a full 18 hole course measuring some 6293 yards with a par of 72. One of the notable junior members was Sam Torrance when at the age of six commenced his golfing career here at Rossendale. Development continues and a new clubhouse opened in April 2000.
The course is well laid out and maintained to high standards, providing golfers with an interesting round on meadowland with panoramic views of the surrounding Rossendale Valley.
Rossendale Golf Club is most easily approached by using the M66/A56 motorway and expressway which passes within half a mile of the club. Exit at the Haslingden / Helmshore sign northbound and the A681 Rawtenstall / Todmorden sign southbound.
