Mellor and Townscliffe Golf Course ☆ Follow

The course measures 5,820 yards, par 70 from the gold tees, and is a mixture of moorland and parkland golf, set out in 3 different loops of 6, with tricky holes and narrow fairways. The first holes at Mellor Golf Club were laid in 1894, and the club itself was founded in 1908, becoming Mellor & Townscliffe Golf Club in 1920. The club is steeped in history and is well known as one of Cheshire's 'Hidden Gems of Golf'.

Magnificent views across the Cheshire plain and Derbyshire hills serve as a backdrop for a course that tests the skills of all golfers at all levels. The opening holes, although not long, provide an examination of shotmaking ability set among mixed woodland, while holes seven to twelve assume the true moorland character with challenging conditions. On the elevated tee of the 12th hole, golfers enjoy views of up to 50 miles to Merseyside and the Welsh Hills before launching their tee shot at a green 350 yards away and a hundred feet lower. The closing holes, in a parkland setting, include two par fives with water to negotiate and a 443-yard par four finish that demands two long accurate shots to find the well-guarded home green.
