Prestbury Golf Club

Harry Colt was involved in the design of a select number of golf courses all over the British Isles – including two Royal Open venues in the northwest at Liverpool and Lytham St Annes – and Prestbury Golf Club is proud to be one of those to bear his architectural stamp.

Located to the south of Manchester near Macclesfield, this 6,359-yard, par 71 parkland course has been used as a Regional Open Qualifier and it’s laid out over undulating terrain that affords some marvelous views of the surrounding Cheshire countryside.

A favorite run of holes for many is the five par fours from holes 12 to 16 – a stream protects the green at the front of the first of these, followed by a tough, uphill hole that is worthy of its stroke index of 2. The 14th is played to a very small green then out of bounds has to be contended with down the left of the next hole before the loop is completed by the slightly left doglegged 16th hole.

It was announced at the start of 2023 that a bunker renovation project had been completed by architects Mackenzie & Ebert.
