Situated in the beautiful Cheshire countryside just 15 miles south of Manchester on the outskirts of Macclesfield, Prestbury Golf Club is a Harry Colt classic ranked 74th in National Club Golfer magazine’s 2018 list of England’s Top 100 Courses.
The course makes the most of the dramatic changes in elevation afforded by the hilly terrain. The nature of the site coupled with the sandy subsoil means that the course drains exceptionally well and, unlike many others in the area, hardly ever closes due to heavy rainfall.
Founded in 1920, Prestbury was designed by Course Architect Harry Shapland Colt who was also involved in the design of Wentworth and the Eden course at St. Andrews. From this excellent beginning the course has matured and developed to become one of the finest parkland courses in the Northwest of England.
Set in the beautiful Cheshire countryside Prestbury “truly deserves the accolade of hidden gem” (Golf Monthly) and with its panoramic views of the Derbyshire hill Prestbury will provide the perfect setting for your Golf Day.
To play the fine course at Prestbury Golf Club you will certainly need good stamina as it is anything but flat. There are extremely undulating hills to overcome as well some tricky hazards and the whole course stretches for in excess of 6300 yards so it is not for the faint of heart.
Watch out in particular for the ninth and the seventeenth holes: the ninth features a three-tier green whilst the seventeenth involves shooting over a valley. Keep you concentration and your patience and there is no reason why you cannot score respectably here.
