The course and its character

The club was founded in 1894 and its course was redesigned in the 1930s by James Braid. It is a classic parkland layout of gently rolling fairways lined with mature trees. Golf Magic picks out the opening six holes as a highlight and points to the value it offers for a Braid design so close to the city.

Booking and visitor practicalities

Visitors can book online through the club's visitor booking system, which gives a discounted green fee, or call the pro team on 0161 787 8723 to check availability. Societies and open competitions have their own pages on the club website. The dress code is detailed. Smart golf clothing is expected on the course; tailored knee-length shorts are fine with socks, but jeans, tracksuits, T-shirts and non-golf footwear are not allowed, shirts must be tucked in and caps worn forward. Clean spikeless golf shoes are allowed in the lounge and bar.

Getting there

The club is on Stableford Avenue in Monton Green, Eccles, about six miles west of central Manchester. It should not be confused with the Worsley Park hotel course nearby. Check the club's opening hours and course status pages before travelling.
