Stuart Leech, chief executive of Lancashire Golf, used to be based at St Pierre Marriott golf club in Chepstow, Monmouthshire.
It is only a 20-minute drive from Celtic Manor, which hosted the Ryder Cup in 2010.
“We had a hotel on the site and that was filled up significantly in advance. There were lots of activities before and we had pre-events where sponsors played,” said Leech.
“There was a significant boost to the club and hotel and I would anticipate similar boosts in Bolton.
“It could be extremely positive for the area and could bring significant long-term value.”
Lancashire Golf provides coaching to the next generation of golfers, as well as helping to grow the game locally.
Leech believes the Ryder Cup would boost the game across north-western England.
“It would be a huge opportunity to showcase what golf can do for so many different kinds of people, it would be really positive for bringing through young people locally,” he said.
“Golf can do great things, whether that be the social aspect of playing but also for people with disabilities and how it can make their life better.”
