Flixton Golf Club

Greater Manchester, England

Flixton Golf Club is a Manchester-based parkland course founded in 1893, relocated to its current location in 1903. The course features nine holes set on flat terrain on the banks of the River Mersey, surrounded by mature trees. It is claimed to be the longest nine-hole course in England, presenting a challenging layout that rewards accuracy. The greens are notably small and well-protected, demanding precision from golfers of all handicap levels. The course is designed as an enjoyable walk for players across various skill levels and remains open year-round without playoff mats. The terrain is relatively flat except for remnants of a levee that add topographical interest. Known as "Friendly Flixton," the club emphasizes accessibility and warm hospitality. The course has undergone improvements over decades, featuring immaculate fairways and high-quality greens. Recent additions include gold tees that provide alternative playing options. The clubhouse offers dining facilities with views across the course, and the club hosts regular competitions and social events throughout the year.
