The Whalley Golf Club was founded in 1912 on its present site. But the clubhouse dates back to 1751. It was an old barn that was converted and extended in 1972 when a highway scheme alongside the course made it necessary to find a new clubhouse. Careful renovation allowed some of the original beams and walls to be featured. Almost the entire course can be viewed from the clubhouse. The Whalley club can claim to have one of the finest nine hole courses in the country. It is a nine hole parkland course with beautifully matured trees and wonderful views of the Ribble Valley. Alterations have been made over many years adding to the interest and difficulties for the golfer. Two of the short holes call for shots over water and several greens are guarded by front and side bunkers.
