Wilmslow
The Wilmslow Golf Club: configured as two nine-hole loops, the 6,635-yard James Braid layout embraces the meandering Mobberley Brook, a feature of the opening and closing holes on the front-nine, and the snaking par-5 18th. The brook runs through three of the four picturesque par 3s.
Surrounded by quiet rural farmland, and framed by hundreds of mature trees, the quality and consistency of this free-draining parkland course is unmatched in the area.
The Mobberley Brook, long carries over ravines, well positioned fairway and greenside bunkers, and long grassy rough in summer, make for a challenging and enjoyable round. Excellent presentation and maintenenace is also a feature.
Visitors welcome on weekdays; more restricted at weekends.
Must book in advance.
Players generally walk this course. Golf carts available for hire.
Founded in the late 1880s, Wilmslow is one of the oldest golf clubs in Cheshire. It has occupied its present site for over a hundred years. The Clubhouse occupies the site of what was once Pownall Brow Farm. The present course was opened in March 1903, while over the passage of time it has been modified and developed by several eminent golf course architects, not least James Braid, as well as Sandy Herd, Tom Simpson and George Duncan.
As recently as 2020 the course played host to the European Senior (Legends) Tour. Before that, from 1976 thru' 1981, Wilmslow hosted the European Tour's Greater Manchester Open . In 1983 the Tour's prestigious Martini International was staged at Wilmslow, with Nick Faldo collecting the £13,330 winner's prize (see our Tournaments section >by Venue >Wilmslow).
