Bramall Park Golf Club

Bramall Park Golf Club was founded in 1894 and had its course reworked in 1921 by Alister MacKenzie, the architect later responsible for Augusta National, home of the Masters. That MacKenzie connection gives the Stockport club a design pedigree shared by relatively few courses in the north west. The 18 holes sit across undulating parkland, with fairways running between stands of mature native trees that have had a century to establish since the redesign, giving the course a settled, wooded character typical of MacKenzie's inland work. Its combination of age, design heritage and Cheshire parkland setting has made it one of the more recognised clubs in the county. The club accommodates corporate groups and societies of varying sizes alongside its regular membership, and visitors are welcomed onto the course rather than restricted to members only. Stockport sits on the southern edge of Greater Manchester, bordering Cheshire, and Bramall Park's position within that border area places it within reach of golfers from both the city and the Cheshire towns to the south. For anyone interested in playing a course carrying a genuine MacKenzie design history without travelling to his more famous American work, Bramall Park offers that link in a Greater Manchester setting.
