Greater Manchester, England
Chorlton-cum-Hardy Golf Club is a challenging parkland course founded in 1902, located just four miles from Manchester city centre and easily accessible off junction 5 of the M60. The course winds through narrow fairways alongside the River Mersey, with the ancient dyke providing a notable hazard alongside elevated terrain features including Spion Kop and Barlow Wood. Water comes into play frequently throughout the layout, testing golfers' short games with well-protected greens that play fast and true.
Situated on low-lying meadowland interspersed with mature trees and wildlife, the course presents a demanding test for all ability levels. The par 18th is a distinctive short hole playable from the clubhouse balcony. The club is centred around the majestic 13th-century listed building, Barlow Hall, which serves as a historic clubhouse providing dining and bar facilities. The course features an indoor academy and fully stocked pro shop, with comprehensive facilities for members and visitors seeking both competitive golf and post-round hospitality.
