Length: 5,978 Par: 71 Parkland Course
The peace and tranquillity afforded during a round at Houldsworth Golf Club belies the fact the course is situated just three miles from the centre of Stockport and only five miles from Manchester city centre.
The pleasantly flat parkland course, built in 1910, has undergone an extensive redesign and redevelopment at the hands of world-renowned course designer Dave Thomas, who has enhanced the layout to present one of the finest parkland courses in the region.
The updated Houldsworth now features water prominently, and on no hole is this more the case than the 535-yard, par-5 fifth - the highlight of a thoroughly enjoyable course - which requires nerves of steel for an approach shot to find an island green.
At 5,978 yards in length, it is a course that is accessible to all players, rewarding imaginitive shot-making and course management rather than brute force.
There is further entertainment to be found in the form of a snooker table. The clubhouse also serves everything from snacks to three-course meals, all best enjoyed alongside a refreshing beverage that can be supped on Houldswourth’s sun-drenched balcony.
