Worsley Golf Club

Worsley Golf Club was founded in 1894 and had its course redesigned in the 1930s by James Braid, whose later career touched a large number of English parkland clubs. The course sits at Monton Green in Eccles, around six miles west of Manchester city centre, laid out across parkland ground typical of the area's older clubs. The opening stretch is built around length rather than a gentle introduction, starting with two par fives before moving into two further demanding par fours, so early scoring tends to depend on solid long-game form rather than settling in gradually. Visitors and societies are welcomed onto the course, with a discounted green fee available through the club's online booking system or by contacting the professional shop directly. The clubhouse and pro shop operate from Stableford Avenue, where larger vehicles are directed to park separately from the main car park. Braid's redesign work in the 1930s came at a point when many Manchester-area parkland courses were being lengthened and refined to suit changing equipment, and Worsley's layout reflects that era of course development. For golfers around Greater Manchester, the club offers a long-established parkland round within easy reach of the city.
