Prestbury Golf Club

Prestbury Golf Club was founded in 1920 on the outskirts of Macclesfield in Cheshire, around 15 miles south of Manchester. The course was designed by Harry Colt, one of the most influential figures in early twentieth-century golf course architecture, and has since been placed among the top 100 courses in England by both Golf World and National Club Golfer. Visitor tee times are offered on set days through the week, Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, within defined morning and afternoon windows rather than open access throughout the day. The club recognises reciprocal arrangements with other Colt-designed courses through a dedicated card scheme, alongside county card rates for golfers travelling from within the wider Cheshire golfing community. Green fees are structured to include breakfast, with a bacon roll and coffee served ahead of the agreed tee time, a small but distinctive addition to the standard visitor experience. Macclesfield's position on the edge of the Peak District gives Prestbury's surrounding countryside a more varied, hillier character than much of lowland Cheshire further west, and the course's Colt pedigree places it within a recognised lineage of early twentieth-century British golf architecture that includes several of the country's best-known clubs. That combination of design heritage and setting has underpinned the club's reputation among Cheshire's golfing community for more than a century.
